About CHOCOLATEY BLUE PEARLS CANDIES, CHOCOLATEY
Kroger Chocolatey Blue Pearls Candies are a confectionery item produced under The Kroger Co.'s core Kroger brand. This product belongs to the chocolate category and consists of small spherical candies with a chocolatey center coated in a blue-tinted pearlescent shell, analogous in format to small coated chocolate dragees used in baking and dessert decoration.
Sugar and dextrose together form the primary carbohydrate base, followed by hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which provides the fat matrix for the chocolatey coating. Reduced protein whey (a milk-derived ingredient) and cocoa contribute dairy character and chocolate flavor. Corn syrup adds additional sweetness and helps bind the shell. Soy lecithin acts as an emulsifier. Natural and artificial flavors are used for taste development. Tapioca dextrin and carnauba wax aid in shell coating and gloss. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and beeswax provide additional coating structure. The blue color derives from Blue 1 (a synthetic azo dye) and titanium dioxide (used as a whitening agent in the shell). A mica-based pearlescent pigment creates the characteristic sheen.
Allergens present include milk (whey) and soy (soy lecithin). The product contains no wheat or egg ingredients based on the label. It is not suitable for vegan diets due to the inclusion of reduced protein whey (dairy) and beeswax (an animal-derived ingredient).
Per 100 grams, these candies provide 460 calories, 2 g protein, 72 g carbohydrates, 18 g fat, and 2 g dietary fiber. Calorie density is high, typical of sugar-based confectionery. These candies are primarily used as baking decorations, cake toppers, or standalone confections.
