The Milk Chocolate Style and [Dark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinder-bueno-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.
