Bear Naked is now introducing its first-ever Premium Granola collection with two decadent varieties: White Chocolate Macadamia Nut and Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Butter. While Bear Naked offers a range of granola products with rich textures and fun flavors, these new premium options set themselves apart with pieces of melted fair-trade chocolate and nut butter baked into the mixes. On top of adding great flavor, these ingredients are said to create a "soft cookie-like texture" that introduces an elevated version of granola.
For the launch of its newest products, Bear Naked hosted a Premium Granola Palentine’s Day Launch Party featuring specially crafted tarts and cookies made with both of the Premium Granolas.
