What BestSweet is looking for:

BestSweet is now turning to our Edison Nation members to find this leading ice cream brand’s next hit candy item that will appeal to the lucrative ‘tween consumer (ages 8-13). For this Live Product Search, BestSweet wants you to think outside the box of established candy varieties, such as Junior Mints® or Milk Duds®, and go beyond the M&Ms® pouch of candy-coated chocolates.

BestSweet is looking for your product concept ideas in sweet new flavors and in any shape or size. Whether its minis or bite-size squares, consider the whole package concept and your buyer. What new candy would grab the hard-to-catch attention of ‘tweens” and teens – and turn the head of BestSweet’s leading ice cream client?

For this search, please submit your candy innovations to BestSweet’s Live Product Search. Formulas are not required. While not required, we highly encourage you to submit video of yourself demonstrating a prototype and explaining the features and benefits of your submission. Please be as detailed as possible in telling us about your innovation.

For this Live Product Search, you must note the following:

• Must retail in stores for less than $2.00
• Your candy idea should appeal to a specific audience. For this search, consider what candy would attract the ‘tween consumer (ages 8-13)
• Your idea should fit within a leading ice cream manufacturer’s line of branded candy
• Your idea must be unique and protectable

Each idea costs just $25 (www.edisonnation.com/membership). The cost is $20 for gold members to submit and, as long as you maintain gold membership, your idea may be submitted to as many searches as you would like at no additional cost (www.edisonnation.com/opportunities).
