Oatmilk Chocolate-Covered Caramel Bites are new from Cocomels and they share a decadent plant-based indulgence, inside and out. The chewy vegan caramels feature coconut cream at the center, plus an all-new alternative milk coating that specifically speaks to fans and newcomers to the brand who desire delicious dairy-free options.
As the brand described in a press release, "In development, we found oatmilk chocolate provides a sweet and creamy taste that's most similar to milk chocolate – more so than other alternative options we explored." The use of oat milk also reflected one of the most popular milk alternatives of the moment and its inclusion makes for an attractive selling feature for caramel lovers of all kinds.
Cocomels also launched Oatmilk Chocolate-Covered Toffee Bark featuring the same creamy alt milk coating.
