Sweet Tart, a seductive new flavour from Fatso

Fatso, a disruptor brand in dark chocolate, has announced the launch of a brand-new flavour, Sweet Tart (RRP. £6.75 / 150g bar, £3.25/40g bar). Pitched as “a pulse racing combination of cherries and almonds, lovingly caressed by buttery shortbread”, the latest launch will be available from 7 July (World Chocolate Day) at sofatso.com.

Fatso is also available to independents to buy direct or from wholesalers including Cotswold Fayre.


Launched to market in September 2022, Fatso, is on a mission to prove that dark chocolate can have just as much fun as milk, without compromising on taste, ethics or size. Shaking up convention, the range of chunky chocolate bars are crammed full of incredible inclusions to deliver unreal flavour combos and are all made with true single-origin, Fino de Aroma certified cacao sourced from their friends at Luker Chocolate in Colombia.

“We pride ourselves in our no-compromise approach to sourcing the very best single-origin cacao through our partnership with the future focused, family-run Luker Chocolate in Colombia,” said Co-Founder Ella McKay.

“As we continue our mission to prove that dark chocolate doesn’t have to be all seriousness and restraint our latest launch is girl-powered, Bakewell-inspired, chunky and downright delicious. We can’t wait to hear what our customers think.”
