— December 11, 2025 — Lifestyle
Clio Peppermint Hot Chocolate Bars are a new seasonal treat crafted with wintertime indulgence in mind to help consumers enjoy a better-for-you alternative to traditional ice cream products.

The product starts off with Greek yogurt that's infused with the flavor of peppermint and covered in a chocolatey coating to give it a minty, chocolate-forward flavor profile. The bar comes in boxes with four servings and has eight-grams of protein to make them a more satisfying snack or treat to enjoy during the festive season.

SVP of Marketing Lauren Pollack commented on the Clio Peppermint Hot Chocolate Bars saying, "We’re excited to launch a Limited-Edition Peppermint Hot Chocolate version of our refrigerated Greek Yogurt Bars for the holiday season. This festive flavor is a fun twist on a seasonal favorite, offering rich, creamy, indulgence and 8 g of protein in each convenient, grab-and-go bar.”
