Sunday Night® Foods has won the New Product Award in the Dessert Toppings category as part of the Specialty Food Association’s (SFA) 2022 sofi™ Awards, a top honor in the $170.4 billion specialty food industry. Sunday Night will be showcasing its award-winning sauce June 12 – 14 at the Summer Fancy Food Show in Booth #6204 at the Javits Center in New York.
Sunday Night’s Dark + Decadent Chocolate Premium Dessert Sauce was one of 102 winners selected by a panel of specialty food experts from nearly 2,000 entries across 53 product categories. Products were judged on taste – including flavor, appearance, texture and aroma – ingredient quality and innovation. All tastings were anonymous and held at the Rutgers Food Innovation Center.
“Winning a sofi™ Award is a testament to our craft in perfecting a silky, glossy chocolate ganache from the finest pure ingredients,” said Eileen Gannon, Founder and CEO of Sunday Night Foods. “We are honored and grateful to win one of the highest awards in specialty food in our first year.”
From growing up on an Iowa farm to spending decades in corporate America, Gannon has always had a passion for baking, winning over 600 culinary awards. Now, she’s putting all her best-kept secrets into Sunday Night to share her delectable sauces and recipes with the world.
Launched in November 2021, Sunday Night’s luxurious, velvety sauces are made without corn syrup, preservations, palm oil or emulsifiers. The premium ingredients allow the pure flavors to shine through: Rich, robust chocolate with fragrant, fresh-brownie cocoa notes and an essence of ripened fruit and warm spices, with hints of buttery caramel, pure vanilla and sea salt.
“Consumers want better food, but they are busy,” said Gannon. “We created our sauces so people never have to compromise on taste and quality, even when they don’t have time.”
