In a time of economic uncertainty, the sales of specialty beverages, snack and premium chocolates are growing.  The Wall Street Journal believes that these little things provide a treat for their consumers in challenging times.   The overall specialty food market believes it will have a 4% downturn, but not gourmet snack foods.  Dollar sales for candy rose 85% between 2005 and 2007.  It is believed that upscale chocolates will outperform all chocolate sales by 2012.
