Cocomels is going beyond dairy-free caramel with its newest sweet creation, Dark Chocolate-Covered Toffee Bites, which are also free from gluten and GMO ingredients. The poppable snacks are crunchy and bite-sized, and they also speak to consumers who are looking to indulge without consuming ingredients like corn syrup and artificial ingredients.
The crunchy coconut milk toffee bits are covered with 60% dark chocolate and every bite has just a single gram of sugar. While the brand has built a community that loves its snackable and chewy caramel treats, this new product treats the sense to a crunchy new format with the same free-from ingredients as ever that satisfies a need for lower sugar options within the candy category.
