Lily's Sweets is expanding its portfolio of no-sugar-added chocolate and confections with Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups that promise "flavors so unbelievably good you won't even miss the sugar."
The all-new Peanut Butter Cup treats from the brand are made with non-GMO ingredients and, as ever, no added sugar. The chocolate-covered nut butter cups are in fact botanically sweetened with stevia, providing less than a gram of sugar and just 130 calories per each two-cup serving. As well as satisfying those with a sweet tooth, the snacks will appeal to those who are looking for gluten-free, fair trade, ketogenic or low-glycemic snack options.
The new Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are packaged in pouches that contain individually wrapped cups.
