Design Challenge: The biggest challenge to me is the process of determining the shape of my chocolate. I have been tried different styles of "treasure box", and I wanted to keep the simplest but iconic one.
Research: Do we snack only for satisfying our appetite? Many times, snacks bring out more than that. We feel better by snacking when we are stressed or lonely; we celebrate by snacking when we are happy. The fact is that we are not seeking more calories but supplements for our emotions. Currently, on the global snack market is estimated to reach 491 billion dollars, and companies rarely consider the bond between emotions and snacks.
