Leading snacking brand Forest Feast has announced the launch of a new range of Vegan 60% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Dipped Fruit.
With more and more consumers looking to make better choices when it comes to snacking, the new range delivers a more mindful option in confectionery that still gives a delicious taste of indulgence, and perfect for sharing or as a treat on nights in.
The range is also 100% vegan and gluten free, using real chunks of sustainably sourced fruits. Handcrafted and packaged in Ireland using only the finest quality ingredients, the snacks offer a clear trade-up option, for the one in seven shoppers willing to pay a premium of brands that offer traceability.
The range includes three variants, Sour Cherries, Mango and Mountain Figs.
“We have seen chocolate dipped fruit gain huge traction in the US and so it’s only a matter of time before it lands here in the UK in a big way - home-made options are already popping up all over Instagram and Pinterest,” Bronagh Clarke, marketing director at Forest Feast, said.
“The trajectory of healthier snacking options has been on the rise for a while, which has seen huge innovation in the category – but nothing like this. We’re really excited to see this range land in stores. As the only 100% vegan and gluten-free option out there in dipped chocolate fruit, we’re going to really deliver for shoppers and hopefully in turn grow the category too.”
Forest Feast’s Dark Chocolate Dipped Fruit range retails at an RRP of £3.50 and is now available for stock across grocery, wholesale and convenience channels.
