While pastry chefs and restaurateurs mash-up dessert trends to innovate, Nicole Coady is improving upon the classic supermarket sweets with an indulgent twist.

Sold in nearly two-dozen shops nationwide, Fixx Chocolates is taking the conventional candy bar to new heights with decadent creations that are reminiscent of a convenience store thrill. This combination of high-low – praline crisp with passion fruit jelly or peanut butter nougat with apple wood smoked bacon and maple caramel – is the perfect nod to the past while being firmly centered in the artisanal food movement and global chocolate trends. 

As my much as we love deconstructed desserts and puff-pastry fried dough confections, it's refreshing to see Fixx's simplicity balance so many flavorful trends at once with only six products.
