Sprouts will be the exclusive retailer of Cocomels new oatmilk chocolate-covered products through January 2023.
The line will launch with 2 SKUs – Oatmilk Chocolate-Covered Caramel Bites and Oatmilk Chocolate-Covered Toffee Bark. The products are enrobed in a oatmilk chocolate recipe that tastes like regular milk chocolate, according to Cocomels. The are free from dairy, gluten, and GMOs.
"Our initial goal was to develop an option for milk chocolate lovers," said JJ Rademaekers, chief candyman and founder of Cocomels, in a statement. "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."
