Consumers are increasingly seeking out oat milk chocolate snacks and showing a growing preference for plant-based alternatives over traditional milk chocolate options—and BREAKS' new snack line aligns with this. BREAKS will be entering stores soon but not before it's previewed at the upcoming Sweets and Snacks Expo. At the event, attendees will get the first look at the satisfying snacks in varieties like Salted Sunflower Seed, Gluten-Free Pretzel, and Coconut and Quinoa.
These rich oat milk chocolate bark snacks feature rich mix-ins and BREAKS by Scharffen Berger marks the brand's first foray into the snack aisle. The 43% oat milk chocolate sweetened with coconut sugar offers an updated take on sweet snacking that meets the taste preferences and values of today's consumers.
