Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

TCHO's Choco Natchos are Cheesy Chocolate Bites are Savory & Spicy

— January 29, 2024 — Lifestyle
From saucy wings and jalapeno poppers to two-bite sliders, the majority of Super Bowl snacks are savory and TCHO's Choco Natchos are savory, cheesy chocolate bites that invite sweet treats to the snacking occasion. The nacho-flavored chocolate bar is dairy-free, 100% plant-based and prepared with vegan cheddar flavor, plus other unusual chocolate bar ingredients like garlic, chives, red peppers, onions, cilantro, tomatoes, jalapeños, cayenne pepper and extra smoked paprika.

The soy-free, small-batch bites make the most of fair trade, organic cacao and they're offered in bags that are perfect for passing around during the Big Game.

This unconventional chocolate product got its start back in 2018 in the TCHO Flavor Lab when the brand's Chief Chocolate Maker, Brad Kintzer, created the spicy, savory and cheesy chocolate flavor to celebrate a house party.
