The Undairy Co. turned Turkish Delight into a chunky chocolate bar that leans on plant-based milk chocolate and a rose Turkish Delight center. The 175g format gives the bar a heft that stands apart from shrinking confectionery portions, while its bean-to-bar approach uses single origin organic Peruvian cacao.
A single bar costs £9.95, and a five-bar bundle is £44.95. The brand also sells it through its own website, giving plant-based chocolate buyers a direct route to a more substantial treat.
The Undairy Co. shows how a 175g bar can make size part of the selling point, not just flavor, while a premium price and direct-to-consumer setup position it closer to a specialty chocolate purchase than an everyday snack, helping dairy-free confectionery hold its own against mainstream bars.

What's Driving This Trend
- Oversized Premium Treats
- Generous formats create fresh whitespace for confectionery brands as shoppers compare indulgence value through size, weight, and gifting potential rather than standard snack portions.
- Plant-based Heritage Flavors
- Classic sweets such as Turkish Delight can be reimagined with dairy-free chocolate to attract flexitarian consumers seeking familiar nostalgia in more inclusive formats.
- Direct-to-consumer Confectionery
- Owned online channels give premium chocolate makers a stronger platform for limited formats, bundled pricing, and storytelling around provenance and craft.
Who This Affects Most
- Plant-based Foods
- Dairy-free confectionery highlights how alternative ingredients are expanding beyond basic substitutions into premium, sensory-rich products with mainstream appeal.
- Premium Chocolate
- Single-origin cacao and bean-to-bar positioning are reshaping chocolate as a specialty purchase where provenance, craft, and format justify higher prices.
- Online Retail
- Digital storefronts provide niche confectionery brands with scalable access to dedicated audiences while reducing reliance on crowded supermarket shelves.
