When the fall season is in full swing and the holidays are up ahead, there are certain flavors that begin to make their presence more apparent. Maybe it’s that crisp, cooler air that naturally inspires many to seek out cozy, comfy confections. In addition to our many year-round selections, we here at Big Island Candies begin to handcraft a series of seasonal sensations that will help make the holidays merry and bright with every bite:
Peppermint for Merriment!
For our Holiday 2019 season, we launched our Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Brownies, as a way to blend an iconic flavor with one of our most popular product lines: our deliciously decadent brownies. We incorporated peppermint pieces throughout the cool mint layer on the inside, creating an experience rich in taste and texture. The brownies became a popular seasonal favorite, and we’ve been bringing them back ever since.
This creation served as one of the sources of inspiration for our NEW special limited-edition Peppermint White Dipped Kona Mocha Shortbread. This shortbread is a combination of chocolate, Kona Coffee, and Christmas! It’s diagonally dipped in a creamy white coating, featuring peppermint candy flakes, to help make it a merry Kona Mocha kind of holiday season. The cheerful-looking gift box includes approximately 16 individually wrapped cookies. So whether it’s our Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Brownies or Peppermint White Dipped Kona Mocha Shortbread, merry (Christmas) meets a cooling twist of peppermint.
Come on in, Cinnamon!
Loved ones will soon be stopping by for a holiday visit. But before you welcome them in, be sure to invite our Cinnamon White Dipped Macadamia Nut Shortbread into your home. It’s a delicious option, to go along with the good cheer. The foundation for this flavor begins with our Macadamia Nut Shortbread, which is diagonally dipped in a creamy white coating that also includes festive flecks of cinnamon. Since its creation in 2017, this shortbread has become one of our most asked-about seasonal items, especially once September rolls around, and it’s become a popular item during the holidays.
Gingerbread in the House!
Big Island Candies’ line of bite-size cookies gets a bit bigger during the holiday season. Besides classic year-round selections such as Macadamia Nut, Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut, Kona Coffee, plus Guava Macadamia Nut, you can treat yourself, or someone else, to a flavor that’s especially perfect for the holidays: our Bite Size Gingerbread Cookies!
Launched for the Holiday 2022 season, this limited-edition item was well received by customers, and it’s back once again in a convenient 7-oz. bag. So grab a bag, and get cozy on the couch with your comfiest blanket and favorite holiday film. Just pour some cookies out, then reseal for later… or, let’s be honest, sooner than later. You’ll want to keep this bag within arm’s reach. Scrumptious Bite Size Gingerbread Cookies are sure to bring big smiles throughout the season. This is a great gift for the family—yours or maybe another one on your gift list.
