White chocolate, which some people don’t even consider to be chocolate, never seemed to be quite as popular as its milk and dark counterparts. With ruby chocolate entering the scene, it seemed as though white chocolate was going to be moving further to the back of the line once again. Despite its seemingly lackluster popularity, white chocolate is actually increasing in demand among chocolatiers and food manufacturers. 

Halloween is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about what kind of candy you’ll have on display in your store. Many candy shops have the typical Hershey’s candy bars and assorted varieties of candy corn. But if you want your Halloween candy selection to stand out among your competitors, order some of these unique candies from Royal Wholesale that are sure to have your customers coming back for more.

All too often, growing up means letting go of the small pleasures that used to make up an entire day. Fortunately, some of those pleasures are still available in candy form. There are many candies that we enjoyed as children that we may not have had or even thought about for years!

Just as in any other profession, it is essential for chocolatiers to not only have the right tools for the job, but the right ingredients as well. As you may well know, not all chocolate is created equal. Unfortunately, much of the chocolate available today is not of a high enough quality that a respectable chocolatier would want to use it. Even when choosing between multiple types of high-quality chocolate, certain types of chocolate are better to use for the desired and result than others. For example, you would not want to use the same chocolate in a chocolate fountain that you would use to make chocolate bark. Choosing the right type of chocolate for a given application can be quite overwhelming and confusing at times, but Royal Wholesale is here to help. Here are the chocolate products we recommend for various popular applications. 

When you have caramel with a rich, buttery flavor and smooth, creamy texture, it’s truly a treat that’s hard for anyone to resist. But not all caramel products are created equal. That’s where Peter’s and Merckens caramel come into play. These high-quality caramel products rise above the rest with their attention to detail when it comes to flavor, texture, and ease of use. Whether you need a liquid caramel or a loaf, these first-rate brands have just what you need to create decadent confectionery treats that will delight the senses. 

The Hershey Company is an American company that was founded in 1894 by Milton S. Hershey as a subsidiary of his Lancaster Caramel Company.

The Hershey Company is one of the largest chocolate manufacturers in the world but produces baked goods and drinks as well.

Summer is here, and with it comes outings, picnics, and trips to the beach. You and your friends, family, and little ones are bound to get hungry on these adventurous days, but bringing snacks and sweet treats with you to the beach presents some interesting problems such as heat and sand.

Candy isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when pairing alcohol with food. And candy is not typically combined with fruit in a dessert. We generally select salty, savory, or acidic flavors to accompany alcoholic beverages. The same approach is used for composing a fruit tray. However, you’ll miss experiencing the subtle contrasts and balances candy brings to these pairings if you don’t include them. Candy is perfect when you want just a little something sweet to go with your after-dinner beverage or fruit selection.

If there's one thing we all remember from our childhood, it's the candy. But each generation, candy makers offer new and crazy treats that kids carry memories of for a lifetime.
