There are so many reasons to love summer! Warmer temperatures, longer days, RCI’s Annual Convention & Industry Expo (mark your calendars for July 25-29, 2022) and a whole lot more fun that you don’t get to have indoors during the cooler seasons!
Admittedly, we’re counting down the days until the first day of
summer on June 21 (77 days from when this post was first published)!
If you’re looking to introduce new flavors to your product lineup this summer,
we’ve got some fun and easy ways to make your mark this upcoming season!
Cocoa butter transfer sheets are a great visual option to denote
summer flavors like coconut, banana, and citrus flavors and themes on your
chocolate-covered treats. Transfer sheets can be used on any number of chocolate
treats, such as truffles, dipped sandwich cookies and bark. For those who sell
ice cream or gelato, RCI member American
Chocolate Designs suggests garnishing with a piece of decorated chocolate
to emphasize the flavor or add the finishing touch for a theme.
Is there anything that says summer more than a pair of brightly colored flip flops? RCI member Bruce’s Candy Kitchen of Cannon Beach, Oregon uses a cookie cutter to cut out slab marshmallow in the shape of a flip flop base before dipping it in chocolate and adhering various chocolate transfer sheets to achieve the bright colors and fun designs found on flip flops. This look could also be achieved with chocolate-covered Nutter Butter cookies.
