Nonni’s Foods, LLC, a Tulsa, Okla.-based biscotti baker, was awarded Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery's Best New Product of 2012 in its online poll. Editors from the publication, a leading information resource for decision makers in the snack food and bakery industry, selected their 10 favorite products introduced in 2012 based on originality, packaging and taste.

The publication then asked consumers to vote for their favorite of the 10 finalists in an online poll. Nonni's Salted Caramel Biscotti swept the competition, receiving more than half (51%) of the consumer votes.

"It's an honor that Nonni's Salted Caramel Biscotti won the Top Product of 2012," says Patricia Wong Bridges, brand marketing manager for Nonni's Foods. "Developing delicious biscotti that meet consumer demand for innovative, on-trend flavor combinations is one of the keys to our success as a category leader."

"We reviewed the most notable new products of 2012 and chose 10 from which we asked our online viewers to choose as 'the year's best,'" says Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery Editor-in-Chief Lauren R. Hartman. "Each year, hundreds of new products are released from snack food companies and bakeries. Nonni's Salted Caramel Biscotti was ultimately chosen by our website viewers, and we were thrilled to contact the company about the results."

Introduced to the market in July 2012, the sweet biscotti is filled with caramels, dipped and drizzled in rich milk chocolate and lightly sprinkled with sea salt. Each biscotti is an indulgent everyday treat in a 100-calorie size, individually wrapped for freshness. The product is currently available for purchase at retailers nationwide.
