Pip & Nut, known for its nut snacks and nut butter products, launched a Chocolate Hazelnut Spread as a healthier, sustainable, ethical alternative to conventional spreads. While there are many chocolatey, nutty spreads on the market, this one stands out as an option that features 63% nuts and is lower in sugar and higher in protein. Additionally, it gets its sweetness from agave syrup instead of refined sugar, it's free from palm oil, ultra-processed filler ingredients and emulsifiers, and Pip & Nut’s Chocolate Hazelnut Spread is the first in the UK to use ethically sourced cocoa from Tony’s Open Chain.
This decadent chocolate hazelnut spread is ready to be drizzled over pancakes and waffles, enjoyed atop toast or savored by the spoonful anytime of day.
