At this year's Natural Products Expo East, Lily's Sweets will be expanding upon its range of decadent yet healthy botanically sweetened chocolates and confections with new no-sugar-added treats, including an all-new 92% Intensely Dark variety. This ultra-dark and rich chocolate bar is sweetened with stevia and offers a satisfying way to indulge a sweet tooth without sugar.
The chocolate bar, crafted with non-GMO ingredients, joins other dark and rich chocolate bar flavors from the brand like Almond Dark Chocolate, Coconut Dark Chocolate and the texture-rich Crispy Rice Dark Chocolate. The new vegan-friendly 92% Intensely Dark variety instantly stands out for its high cocoa content, as the other options from the brand contain somewhere in the range from 40% to 85% cocoa.
