The chocolate precut features the brand's signature square profile that comes in with a 100-gram serving size and features roasted peanuts with salt covered with premium milk chocolate. The bar takes a strong approach to the integration of nuts with the peanuts being visible through the top and revealing even more with each bite. The bar is expected to be right at home within the brand's existing range that features options like Milk Whole Hazelnut, Pistachio and more.
