Compound chocolate for United States.

In short

AOYUAN FOOD supplies compound chocolate products from its factory in Jieshou, China, and welcomes inquiries from US importers and wholesalers. The US market is highly seasonal — Halloween, Christmas, Hanukkah, Valentine's Day and Easter — and compound chocolate must be labeled under a different name from 'milk chocolate'.

What sells in the United States?

US candy sales are driven by a few big seasons. Chocolate gold coins sell for Hanukkah (as gelt) and as Christmas stocking fillers, wrapped items sell for Halloween, and shaped chocolate suits Valentine's Day and Easter. Value snacks also sell in Asian supermarkets and discount retail.

Naming compound chocolate on US labels

Names such as 'milk chocolate' are defined by FDA standards of identity. Products that replace cocoa butter with other vegetable fats do not meet those standards and are usually labeled with other names, such as 'chocolate candy' or 'chocolate flavored'.
