Next Cool Thing In Chocolate

I know I always say that I'm not really into trendy foods.  But people keep asking me what the next big thing in candy is going to be.  Well I'll tell you now, it's going to be Bean to Bar.  That's when a chocolate maker starts out with cocoa beans and finishes up with a bar all in one factory.  Most chocolate makers actually buy their chocolate from manufactures that do the cocoa to chocolate conversion.  But I think that Bean to Bar will start to become more and more prevalent as time goes on.  I'm not saying all Bean to Bar chocolate makers are making better or worse chocolate than others, I'm just saying it's starting to become a merchandising idea.
