Packaged chocolate often plays it safe to ensure that those craving a sweet, creamy treat get what they're looking for, but the new Vivra artisan chocolate bars take a bold step in a different direction. The new flavors of Vivra chocolates includes Peanut Butter Pretzel and Curry Cashew, which both offer a distinctly different take on the packaged candy bar.
Candy is often formulated with children in mind given that they are often the ones who are consuming it. However, this preconception could be based on the fact that there are no true options on the market for the discerning adult palate. The Vivra artisan chocolate bars aim to change this with a formulation that is made with quality ingredients and that activate different parts of the palate.
