Convenience, quality and flavor combine with the new Toblerone Truffles that are positioned by the brand as an elevated take on the original treat. The truffles feature an angular outer shell that looks inherently high-end and will reveal a velvety smooth filling when eaten to give them the perfect level of texture for consumers to enjoy. The treat is being launched this July and is expected to be a hit this Christmas as a product that taps into demand for premium chocolates amongst Millennial and Gen Z consumers.
Brand Manger for Toblerone at Mondelēz International Claire Kamara commented on the Toblerone Truffles saying, "We are incredibly excited to share Toblerone’s most recent development, Toblerone Truffles, to help celebrate those special moments, whether treating yourself or your loved ones."
