Love Cocoa recently introduced the world to a unique vegan confection that features both freeze-dried avocado and chocolate in a bar format.
Inspired by his great-great-great grandfather John Cadbury, James Cadbury created Love Cocoa to help consumers easily order decadent confections online and have them delivered straight to their home letterbox. On the creation of Avocado Chocolate bar, which is made with organic dark chocolate, James Cadbury says that: "like the millions on Instagram, I’m also an avocado fan, so I thought why not mix two of the most loved flavours and foods together – and that’s how the avocado chocolate bar was born."
Earlier this year, chocolatier Compartés released its own take on the avocado chocolate bar, but its version fused white chocolate with fresh avocados from California.
