The Fabalous hazelnut chocolate spread is being introduced in two new flavors for consumers to pick up when looking for a healthier option to pick up that is also free from palm oil. The new spreads include the Crunchy Hazelnut & Cocoa and the Orange Hazelnut & Cocoa, which are both made with 128 dried chickpeas along with eight shelled hazelnuts in each 200-gram jar. The spreads are also made with sunflower oil and cocoa butter instead of the aforementioned palm oil to suit consumer preferences.
The new Fabalous hazelnut chocolate spreads from the Coppola Foods-owned brand are each crafted with a plant-based recipe that is available both online and from select retailers at a price point of £4.99 per jar.
