ECRM hosted its annual Candy Planning: Everyday & Summer Seasonal event in August at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, Louisiana.
For those unfamiliar, ECRM events bring together candy makers and retail buyers for meetings that resemble speed dating, since they have just 10 or 20 minutes at each appointment.
However, no Everyday & Summer Seasonal event would be complete without the Buyer’s Choice Awards, sponsored by Candy Industry and ECRM. Participating candy companies submitted new products for retail buyers to taste. The buyers then voted for their favorites in three categories: Chocolate, Non-Chocolate and Novelty.
Candy Industry extends its congratulations to the winners. Aside from bragging rights and a glass award, the winners also received recognition on our website. A look at the winning companies and products appears below, along with other new products that caught our attention at the show.
