H!P (Happiness !n Plants) launched Oat M!lk Chocolate Pouches to make the taste of dairy-free treats easier to enjoy and share. The bundle includes Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Bites, Crunchy Caramel Chocolate Peanuts and Chocolate Buttons, all of which are bite-sized and ready to be taken on the go.
These packs are home-recyclable and they highlight the fact that H!P’s carbon footprint is over 50% lower than chocolate made with cow’s milk. James Cadbury, H!P founder and the great-great-great grandson of the original Mr John Cadbury, said "Our success is testament to the enduring popularity of oat milk, which we believe not only tastes as good as traditional dairy milk, but is also far more sustainable to produce."
The vegan-friendly snacks feature 41% single-origin, ethically sourced Columbian cocoa. Increasingly vegan "milk" chocolate products are becoming popular for providing all the creaminess of classic milk chocolate without the dairy and without the bitterness of vegan-friendly dark chocolate.
