TCHO is transitioning to become a fully vegan chocolate brand and it is replacing its dairy products with decadent plant-based alternatives. All of the brand's retail bars (many of which are already vegan) are going entirely plant-based as part of a commitment to sustainability.
The indulgent vegan bars from the brand are being introduced with bold new colors and striking packaging. There's Toffee Time with a cashew butter base, oat milk, coconut sugar and flecks of cacao, as well as Aww Nuts! as a dark chocolate bar filled with almond butter. Chocolate lovers who can't seem to choose between options like Holy Fudge and Born Fruity can experience the best of both worlds with Dark Duo, which combines the outer shell of the former with the filling of the latter.
