Lily's Sweets is passionate about making no-sugar-added, botanically sweetened chocolates and confections, and some of the newest additions to its product portfolio are chocolate-covered caramels. The Milk Chocolate Style and Dark Chocolate Covered Caramels promise to be chewy, smooth, indulgent and satisfying, especially as they boast less than one gram of sugar per serving.
Both kinds of chocolate-covered caramels are made with unsweetened cocoa, chicory root fiber and cocoa butter, with the Milk Chocolate Style coming in at 40% cocoa and the Dark Chocolate version boasting slightly more cocoa at 55%. As ever, the products are made with mindfully sourced, non-GMO and certified fair trade ingredients.
For even more low-sugar sweetness, Lily's is also introducing Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Style Caramel Popcorn with a similar premise.
