The classic UK appetizer pigs in a blanket come as the inspiration for the new H!p Figs in Blankets chocolate bar that aims to deliver the signature taste with a decidedly sweet profile. The plant-based chocolate bar features no dairy or meat with an oat milk-based recipe that's infused with both figs and a salty vegan bacon seasoning. The bar these boasts a sweet, salty flavor profile that's perfect for consumers of all ages to enjoy this holiday season or as a stocking stuffer for gifting occasions.
Founder James Cadbury commented on the H!p Figs in Blankets chocolate bar saying, "While the prospect of mixing figs with plant-based bacon flavouring raised a few eyebrows initially, it was clear after the first taste-test that we’d hit the sweet spot."
