The Cox&Co. Cacao Aleppo Chilli & Cherry Easter Egg has been launched by the brand as a sweet, spicy and complex springtime chocolate product arriving in the UK for foodies to pick up this year. The product boasts 60% single-origin Colombian cacao paired with chili flakes and cherry to impart a sweet and spicy flavor directly into the dark chocolate treat. The hollow egg maintains a vegan-friendly recipe, comes packaged in 100% recyclable and compostable packaging, and is priced at £14.
Founder Gavin Cox commented on the Cox&Co. Cacao Aleppo Chilli & Cherry Easter Egg saying, "With so many Easter egg options it’s important to stand out from the crowd and continue to innovate with new flavour combinations and formats. There’s been a real demand for mini versions of our eggs so the new three-packs are a great addition to the range, whilst the Aleppo Chilli & Cherry egg is a real flavour favourite that we expect to be very popular this season."
