Tapping into “new-stalgia” (an anticipated hot food trend in 2025), Gnaw has been working tirelessly to rethink Great British puddings by creating a number of “Hug in a Mug” classics (Crème Brulée, Bakewell Tart, Sticky Toffee Pud) in conjunction with an impressive “pudfolio” of dessert-flavoured bars: New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pudding, Banoffee Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Desserts may prove divisive. For many the last course will always be a fitting finale to a great meal spent with friends of family, enticing comfort food that offers a nostalgic peek into happy custard drenched, ice cream topped memories from yesteryear. For others, desserts are an unwitting dalliance with guilt-filled soft sponges, buttery pastry, seductively sweet fillings, crumbly toppings, sticky sauces …

Gnaw’s new-for-Christmas “Hugs in Mugs” hot chocolate and bars represent the perfect halfway house; a fresh twist on timeless classics using hot chocolate and meticulously crafted bars as the perfect portion-controlled mediums for reacquainting our taste buds with sweet-themed flavour marriages from times gone by. After all the very definition of “new-stalgia” is revisiting comforting classics in a cooler, more modern way.

“In today’s fast-paced world, we’ve drawn upon our deep love of quality chocolate and indulgent sweet treats to create our range of gooey-centred choc spoons,” said Gnaw Head of Brand, Muhammad Karim. “Perfect for savouring during precious ‘me-time’ moments Or sharing with someone you love, they’re designed to bring a little dash of luxury to your day.”

  • 120g Gooey Pudding Hot Chocolate Spoons PLUS marshmallows (x3) £11.95
  • 80g Pud bars (Banoffee, New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pud) RSP £3.50

Branded cheese accounts for 40 per cent of total cheese value sales, with it being worth a total of £1.2 billion, growing 6.6 per cent in value sales YOY, while private label accounts for 60 per cent and is worth £1.8 billion, growing four per cent YOY.

Heloise Le Norcy-Trott, Group Marketing Director for Lactalis UK & Ireland explains: “After two years of contracted volume sales the cheese category has an opportunity to regain momentum. Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, these are the cheese trends we think retailers should be aware of.”
