CO Chocolate is a confection brand that makes thin and stackable chocolate discs that come in mixed bags. The colorful and playfully shaped chocolates are sugar-free, plant-based and vegan-friendly, and take the form of white, dark or milk chocolate that's panned or coated to create unique flavors. In a bag, there's a mix of 10 flavors like Key Lime Pie, Almond Sea Salt, Pretzel, Cinnamon, Toasted Coconut, Pineapple Habanero, Strawberry Lemon Chia, Blood Orange and Quinoa Crunch.
The chocolate discs take inspiration from the popular pick nā mix candy bag, where consumers get a variety of treats in a single package. As well as offering plenty of variety, CO Chocolate is appealing for its discs made with a base of cashew butter and sweetened with chicory root fiber and inulin.
