Packaging overhaul
Sian Holt, MD, Fudge Kitchen, said the firm is in a ‘midst of a radical overhaul of its ranges and packaging'.
“It started last year with a rebrand of the shops and our e-commerce website; and continues this year with a beautiful repackaging of our brittles and caramels range and of our themed fudge selections, giving them a range unity and a contemporary uplift,” she said.
“The products and flavors across all our ranges are being curated to offer a wider span of targets in design, price points and flavors.
"We will continue to innovate, spot and pick up on emerging trends to create products including free from, vegan, East Asian flavors and the vintage trend that refuses to go away.”
The overhaul has seen the four-strong Fudge Kitchen brittle range launch three flavors in Lemongrass & Chilli, Dairy Free Peanut Brittle and Pumpkin & Sunflower Seed repackaged in contemporary colors and satin ribbon hangers for premium gifting.
