These new GNAW chocolate bars have been announced by the artisan chocolate brand as a series of products for the UK market that put premium ingredients, taste and texture in the spotlight. The new range of impulse chocolate bars are positioned as permissible indulgences for consumers to try out thanks to their small format that doesn't skimp on taste or texture. The bars come in four flavor varieties including Honeycomb & Caramel, Popcorn & Peanut, Seville Orange and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
Josh Patterson spoke on the GNAW chocolate bars saying, "We’re fortunate that our long-standing commitment to create new flavours in chocolate has tallied with many retailers’ ambitions to trade up and differentiate their impulse treat fixtures. We’ve thought for some that the GNAW story deserves to be told beyond the confectionery fixture, which is why a move into impulse couldn’t be ignored any longer."
