About CARAMEL PUMPKINS CHOCOLATY CANDY, CARAMEL PUMPKINS
Meijer Caramel Pumpkins Chocolaty Candy is a seasonal Halloween confection sold under the Meijer private-label brand at Meijer supercenter stores in the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. These are pumpkin-shaped chocolate candies with a caramel character, made from a compound chocolate formulation rather than couverture chocolate.
Sugar is the primary ingredient by weight, followed by hydrogenated vegetable oil from palm kernel and/or palm sources — a compound fat used in chocolate-flavored candy coatings as a less expensive alternative to cocoa butter. Corn syrup contributes additional sweetness and texture. Milk is listed as a distinct dairy ingredient. Invert sugar adds sweetness and moisture retention. Alkali-processed cocoa provides the chocolate flavor. Skim milk, whey, and butter are additional dairy components contributing to the milk chocolate character of the product. Lactose (milk sugar) is also listed. Glyceryl monostearate (GMS) is an emulsifier used to stabilize the fat system. Soy lecithin serves as a secondary emulsifier. Artificial flavors define the flavor profile beyond cocoa. Salt provides flavor balance. Mono- and diglycerides and disodium phosphate round out the emulsifier and stabilizer system.
