The treats come in three varieties to choose from including Caramel Nougat, Peanut Nougat and Honeycomb Blast, which are all creamy yet crafted without dairy in the mix. The bars are also touted by the brand to have a carbon footprint that's 20% lower than the leading non-vegan bar options presently on the market. The Buttermilk Choccy Bars are available for purchase from supermarkets in the UK including [Sainsbury's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomo-kids-easter-products) and [Tesco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ombar-blonde) at a price of £1.50 each. The products are likely to be welcomed by consumers seeking out a vegan-friendly alternative to some of their favorite treats. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vegan-friendly Confectionery:** Opportunity for dairy-free and animal-free chocolate products to satisfy consumer demand for vegan-friendly alternatives. - **Low Carbon Footprint Chocolate:** Opportunity for chocolate brands to market their products based on their environmental impact and appeal to consumers who prioritize sustainability. - **Non-dairy Desserts:** Opportunity for plant-based alternatives to traditional dairy desserts that will cater to health-conscious consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Confectionery:** Innovations in the confectionery industry that reduces carbon footprint, produces vegan-friendly chocolate products, and caters to health-conscious consumers can lead to increased demand for their products. - **Supermarkets/retail:** Opportunities for retailers to cater to customers who are interested in vegan-friendly alternatives or environmentally sustainable chocolate products. - **Food Manufacturing:** Opportunities for food manufacturers to produce plant-based, dairy-free confectionery that appeals to health-conscious consumers and potentially has lower production costs compared to traditional dairy desserts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Double-Chocolate Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buttermlk-double-choccy-snack-bar.md) - [Vegan Milk Candy Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-milk-chocolatebar.md) - [Vegan Convenience Store Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ombar-oat-mlk-bars.md) - [Nutty Vegan Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutty-vegan-chocolate-bar.md) - [Milk Chocolate-Inspired Vegan Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveraw-mlk-choc-bar.md) - [Decadent Oat Milk Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oat-milk-chocolate-bar.md) - [Festive Plant-Based Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happi-free-from-oat-milk-chocolates.md) - [Vegan Hazelnut-Packed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-free-hazelnut-praline-bar.md) - [Plant-Powered Almond Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almond-chocolate.md)
