Chocxo’s new Dark Milk Chocolate Toffee, Almond & Sea Salt Snaps deliver “better-for-you organic chocolate that is truly indulgent and lower in sugar without any artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols”. The new Chocxo Snaps feature rich dark milk chocolate, made from a combination of 85% cacao dark chocolate blended with creamy milk chocolate. It has rich cocoa and creamy caramel notes mixed in with crunchy toffee bits, diced almonds and a sprinkle of sea salt. One square mini bar has just 80 calories and 3g of sugar and is certified organic, gluten-free and Kosher. Peter Higgins, president of Chocxo and Chewters Chocolates, said: “Consumers are looking to reduce sugar intake and prefer chocolate that is both organic and naturally lower in sugar, without artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. Our new Dark Milk Chocolate Toffee, Almond & Sea Salt Snaps are a truly indulgent better-for-you chocolate innovation that meets these consumer needs.” The new Dark Milk Chocolate Toffee, Almond & Sea Salt Snaps is available online with plans to be made available in Canada retailers in the coming months.
