There's certainly no shortage of caramel chocolate candy bars to enjoy but there are fewer choices when it comes to enjoying a vegan-friendly version but New York-based candy brand GIGANTIC! is remedying this by releasing plant-based GIGANTIC! bars. Available in decadent flavors like Salted Peanut, Hazelnut Cafe, Banana Pecan and Almond Horchata, the vegan caramel chocolate candy bars are made with fair trade chocolate, creamy coconut milk and plant-based caramel.
The vegan and gluten-free bars boast just seven grams of sugar, plus they share an indulgent way to tap into the nostalgia of childhood treats without overdoing the sugar or having to compromise in terms of ingredients. As founder Stu Davidoff describes, "I set out to create a candy bar geared to a more mature, sophisticated palate and a more health-conscious consumer that still delivers the old-school, gotta-have-it experience."
