Quality Candy Company, Inc., maker of King Leo(R) and Gilliam(R) brand candies, today unveiled a first-of-a-kind sweet that blends hard candy bits sandwiched between a double layer of decadent Belgian dark chocolate. The candy named "Crunchy Patties," was unveiled at the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco today. With this product, Quality Candy Company breaks new ground combining ingenuity with some of the most time-honored ingredients. Beginning with the finest candy, Quality Candy Company drenches the soft candy patties in imported Belgian dark chocolate, the same chocolate used in King Leo(R)'s award-winning Peppermint Bark. Then, delicious hard candy crumbles are layered on top and the candy is dipped in the chocolate a second time. The result is a unique candy that offers a superior dark chocolate taste with a hard-candy, snappy crunch. The candy comes in four different flavors: Peppermint, Orange, Lemon and Raspberry.
"Crunchy Patties will be a delight for consumers as it offers the unique blend of candy flavors with delectable Belgian dark chocolate providing for a unique crunchy candy not found anywhere else," said Pierre Redmond, CEO of Quality Candy Company. "It's the latest illustration of the King Leo(R) brand that for more than 100 years has stood for quality, tradition and innovation," adds Redmond.
Since its inception, Quality Candy Company has focused on quality craftsmanship in every piece of candy it makes. By using only the finest Belgian dark chocolate, and other quality ingredients, Quality Candy has upheld the highest reputation for award-winning excellence in the industry.
