US confectionery company Cocomels has expanded its portfolio with the launch of new oatmilk chocolate-covered snacks.
The new line will launch with two SKUs: oatmilk chocolate-covered caramel bites and oatmilk chocolate-covered toffee bark. It is dairy-, gluten- and GMO-free, as well as vegan-friendly and free from corn syrup, palm oil, cholesterol and artificial ingredients.
JJ Rademaekers, founder of Cocomels, said: “Our initial goal was to develop an option for milk chocolate lovers. We have fantastic dark chocolate-covered Cocomels but wanted to expand our line to appeal to all chocolate lovers looking for dairy-free options.
“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. And with oat milk as a milk alternative rising in popularity over the past few years, introducing an oatmilk chocolate-covered line seemed timely and on-trend.”
Cocomels’ oatmilk chocolate-covered caramel bites and toffee bark will be sold exclusively at Sprouts stores from January 2023.
