Chocolate bars aren't often associated with many health benefits, but these new Chocolove bars have been debuted by the Boulder, Colorado-based brand as a series of treats that could help to change this.
The bars are each crafted with the brand's signature chocolate, while also featuring nuts and sea salt in the mix that contribute towards elevating the taste as well as the nutritional value. The bars come in three options including Milk Chocolate with Pistachios & Sea Salt, Milk Chocolate with Pecans, Cookies & Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate with Walnuts & Sea Salt. The treats were created in collaboration between founder Timothy Moley and the brand's European-trained Master Chocolatier Patrick Peeters.
Peeters himself commented on the new Chocolove bars saying, "The nuts for each of these bars were thoughtfully sourced, selected, and prepared to perfectly complement and balance our smooth and delicious chocolate. The combination of ingredients, including sea salt, results in a unique eating experience in terms of both texture and taste."
