Kind Snacks is launching a new bar, Chocolate Chip Cashew, which will be available later this month. Chocolate Chip Cashew features a combination of cashews, almonds and peanuts, topped with chocolate chips. The new flavour is the fourth bar in the Kind’s HFSS-compliant range, following the launch of its caramelised biscuit nut flavour in February. Made with 81% nuts, the bar is high in fibre and gluten-free, containing no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Audrey Arbeeny, UK marketing director said: “Chocolate Chip Cashew is another really exciting launch for us as we continue to grow our HFSS-compliant offering. We’re really proud of our product range that is not only nutritious but brings together great flavour and high-quality ingredients. We can’t wait to hear what our consumers think.” The new flavour will be available to buy in a singles format, rolling out across 127 Boots stores from 29 May, followed by 636 Sainsbury’s Local stores and 203 WHSmith stores later in the year for an RRP of £1.39.
