Ethical chocolate brand launches range of buttons and hot chocolate flakes

Choc Affair, a York-based family-run ethical chocolate brand, has developed a new range of eight sustainable chocolate products; four variants of Chocolate Buttons and four flavours of drinking Hot Chocolate Flakes.

The new product lines are an exciting step from the brand which is looking to diversify its range from bars into chocolate occasions and baking. The range is packaged in environmentally-friendly paper pouches which are 100% recyclable.

Choc Affair sources single origin, sustainably-grown cocoa from Colombia and the business pays an additional 5% per kilo which is invested back into reforestation projects in the regions it sources its cocoa from. All of its chocolate is palm oil free, responsibly sourced and its packaging is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Linda Barrie, founder of Choc Affair said: “We’re incredibly proud to be launching these Button and Hot Chocolate pouches to our independent retail customers. We’ve worked hard to develop environmentally friendly paper pouches which are recyclable at kerbside, which supports our commitment to being an ethical, green business.”

The new 180g pouches of Chocolate Buttons include four flavours; Milk, Dark, Caramel and Oat M!lk, which is Vegan Society approved. The buttons have made with single origin chocolate and created to melt in the mouth.

The new 200g Hot Chocolate Flakes are available in four flavours; Milk, Dark, Caramel and Oat M!lk, which is Vegan Society approved. The light delicate single-origin flakes melt beautifully to create a sumptuous drinking chocolate experience at home.

The plant-based Oat M!lk flavours of Buttons and Hot Chocolate have been carefully developed to produce a rich and smooth cacao flavour.

The Chocolate Buttons are available in 180g pouches with a RRP of £3.95 per pouch with a trade price of £2.50 per pouch and a mixed case of 12 for £30.
