LU Le Petit Chocolat Noir has been debuted by the premium French biscuit brand as the latest addition to its portfolio in the UK that puts an everyday indulgence experience in the spotlight.
The product starts off with a buttery biscuit topped with dark chocolate to give it a sweet, creamy and decadent taste and texture. The chocolate-forward biscuits are positioned as an everyday indulgence that's arriving this month in 100-gram packs priced at £2.25 to prioritize a cost-conscious price point for consumers.
Brand Manger at Lu at Mondelēz International Georgia Hartley spoke on the LU Le Petit Chocolat Noir biscuits saying, "LU Le Petit Chocolat Noir is a natural next step for the brand. Dark chocolate is synonymous with premium indulgence, and this launch allows us to build on the success of our No.1 product. We know our shoppers are looking for moments of indulgence and self-treating, and this new variant delivers a beautifully refined biscuit experience that stays true to LU’s French heritage.”
