A sweet surprise awaited attendees at National Comp 2025 in Nashville. The Goo Goo Cluster Custom Chocolate Lounge offered a hands-on experience like no other. Attendees created their very own nut-free custom Goo Goo Cluster using nostalgic mix-ins like Cocoa Pebbles, pretzels, marshmallows, and more. More than just a treat, it was a taste of Nashville’s rich culinary history. Proudly made in Music City for over a century, Goo Goo Cluster brought local flavor and tradition right to the expo floor.
