Consumers are demanding sophisticated and innovative flavors for chocolate. According to Mintel, flavor continues to be the main purchase driver in chocolate confectionary in the US. Furthermore, 34% of chocolate consumers in the UK are willing to pay more for chocolate with exciting flavors (Walji).  There is an opportunity for chocolate confectionary brands to be creative and challenge consumer expectations.

Bananas Foster is an American dessert that was originally created in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1951. It is made from cooked bananas served over vanilla ice cream and topped with a caramelized liquor-based sauce made from butter, cinnamon, dark rum, brown sugar, and banana liqueur. At the time when the dessert was created, New Orleans was the hub for imported bananas from South America (Wilt).

Trilogy’s Bananas Foster Type flavor captures the true essence of this delicious dessert and pairs nicely with a variety of applications. The water-soluble flavor is described as having characteristics of banana, butter, and spicy-sweet cinnamon notes.
