# Fruity Nut-Packed Vegan Chocolates Galaxy Vegan Fruit & Nut Comes in Two Sizes By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2024-01-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-vegan-fruit-nut References: [foodbev](https://www.foodbev.com/news/galaxy-unveils-new-vegan-fruit-and-nut-bar/) & [galaxychocolate](https://www.galaxychocolate.co.uk)  The Galaxy Vegan Fruit & Nut bar is the latest addition to the Mars-owned chocolate brand in the UK that's perfect for satisfying cravings for textural treats this winter. The bar is crafted with a smooth hazelnut paste that's paired with the signature roasted hazelnuts and raisins that fruit & nut bar fans alike are sure to crave. The bar is made with a base of dairy-free chocolate and is arriving at Morrisons locations now. The Galaxy Vegan Fruit & Nut bar is launching in a 100-gram bar option alongside a 40-gram bar to accommodate sharing and on-the-go snacking, respectively. The latest bar in the range is expected to be right at home alongside the Smooth Orange & Caramel and Crumbled Cookie vegan bars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 20% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Texture-focused Vegan Chocolates:** The Galaxy Vegan Fruit & Nut bar caters to the growing demand for vegan treats with a delightful combination of smooth hazelnut paste, roasted hazelnuts, and raisins. - **Variety in Bar Sizes:** The introduction of both a 100-gram bar and a 40-gram bar provides options for different consumption needs, whether it's sharing or on-the-go snacking. - **Expansion of Vegan Chocolate Range:** The Galaxy brand expands its vegan offerings with the addition of the Fruit & Nut bar, complementing its existing vegan bars like Smooth Orange & Caramel and Crumbled Cookie. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Chocolates:** The vegan chocolate trend provides an opportunity for chocolate brands to innovate with plant-based ingredients, appealing to the growing consumer demand. - **Confectionery:** The introduction of varied bar sizes allows confectionery manufacturers to cater to different consumer preferences, providing convenience and flexibility in snack options. - **Grocery Retail:** The launch of the Galaxy Vegan Fruit & Nut bar at Morrisons taps into the rising demand for vegan products in the grocery retail industry while offering a new choice for shoppers looking for vegan snacks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan Hazelnut-Packed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-free-hazelnut-praline-bar.md) - [Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hazelnut-vegan-chocolate-bar.md) - [Dairy-Free Honeycomb Candy Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-dairy-free-honeycomb.md) - [Nutty Vegan Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutty-vegan-chocolate-bar.md) - [Textural Low-Sugar Candy Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-dairy-milk-fruitier-nuttier1.md) - [Sharable Minty Candy Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-smooth-mint.md) - [Plant-Powered Almond Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almond-chocolate.md) - [Vegan Convenience Store Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ombar-oat-mlk-bars.md) - [Citrusy Vegan Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almond-orange-oat-milk-chocolate-bar.md)
