At the Sweets & Snacks Expo, the creator of Dippin’ Dots revealed a novel way for coffee lovers to indulge in their favorite drink in the form of a snack with 40 Below Joe's coffee beads. The snack combines frozen beads of coffee and dairy-free creamer to form a mess-free way for people to enjoy the rich flavors of coffee on the go. 40 Below Joe offers unique varieties based on popular coffee flavors like a dark roast House Blend, French Vanilla and Mocha.
These grab-and-go coffee snacks are sold in resealable pouches, as well as cups that are ideal for snacking on the run. While each blend cup contains the equivalent to a shot of espresso, the House Blend cup energizes like three shots of espresso.
