The Prodigy Snacks Salted Caramel Chocolate Egg is being launched by the better-for-you confectionery brand to provide consumers with an alternative option to pick up this year for their Easter celebrations. The product features a vegan recipe that also contains half the sugar as conventional filled chocolate eggs, and is also free from palm oil and refine sugar. The egg is crafted with natural ingredients and reported to have a high-fiber recipe to boot.
Founder Sameer Vaswani commented on the new Prodigy Snacks Salted Caramel Chocolate Egg saying, "We’re really excited to be launching our first egg as part of our growing natural confectionery range, and are grateful to have the support of Holland & Barrett to do so. Our mission is to inspire the evolution of chocolate. We want to change the world of chocolate for the better – better for our health and better for the planet. As well as keeping our product range as natural as possible, plant-based and avoiding the nasties such as palm oil, we are particularly passionate to show that amazing-tasting chocolate can also be significantly lower in sugar, bring prebiotic benefits through fibre and reduce the blight of long-term plastic pollution."
