Healthy Recipe Ideas
Crushed Melody Garnish for Kheer
1. Prepare your favorite rice kheer or phirni as usual. 2. Take 2-3 Melody candies and crush them coarsely. 3. Sprinkle the crushed candy bits over the kheer just before serving. 4. This adds a crunchy caramel-chocolate texture to the dessert.
Health Benefits
Enhances a traditional dessert with a unique flavor and texture while using the candy in a portion-controlled manner.
Melody-Infused Hot Chocolate
1. Gently heat one cup of low-fat milk in a saucepan. 2. Add one teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and whisk. 3. Drop two unwrapped Melody candies into the milk. 4. Stir continuously until the candies melt completely, infusing the milk with a caramel-chocolate flavor. 5. Serve hot without adding any extra sugar.
Health Benefits
Creates a flavorful hot beverage using the candy as both flavor and sweetener, avoiding additional refined sugar.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Chocolaty' is technically not false, as the product does contain cocoa solids, but with only 1.8% cocoa content, the claim can be perceived as misleading to consumers expecting a genuine chocolate product. The primary ingredients are sugar and glucose, making it a sugar-based candy with a chocolate flavor rather than a chocolate candy. This marketing leverages the appeal of chocolate without meeting the typical composition of one.
