Two new Theo Chocolate Cups have been unveiled by the US-based organic chocolate brand to offer consumers with a sweet tooth a high-quality option to try when seeking out well-balanced flavor profiles. The treats come in Peanut Butter & Jelly Cups and Coffee & Cream Cups varieties, which are each expertly crafted with a 55% dark chocolate and 45% milk chocolate shell, respectively. The Peanut Butter & Jelly Cups are crafted with raspberry jelly, while the Coffee & Cream Cups are achieved with a [coffee-infused oil and dark chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocha-melts) on the inside that pays tribute to the brand's Seattle roots.

CMO Jason Harty spoke on the new Theo Chocolate Cups saying, "‘Does the world need another peanut butter cup?’ You won’t be asking yourself that after you try one with jelly! We want to bring more joy to your chocolate, and what better way to do that than to recreate popular flavor duos with our own touch. Peanut butter & jelly, coffee & cream, these are delicious classic combinations now made better with chocolate.”
