With Halloween just around the corner, confectionery retailers are gearing up for the candy-filled season with new products, including iconic British brand Mummy Meagz. The brand recently unveiled the new ‘Boo Boo Egg,' the perfect treat for vegan and flexitarian trick-or-treaters.
The delicious Boo Boo Eggs features a handcrafted Belgian chocolate shell, and to embody the Halloween spirt, the centre is filled with a "gooey green crème." Plus, the new plant-powered treat is free from nuts, dairy, gluten and animal products and GMOs, making it safe for consumers with deitary restrictions.
Fans can get their hands on the new, limited-edition Boo Boo Eggs online and in Holland & Barrett stores until November 11th—or, while supplies last.
