Simply Gum, a company specializing in plastic-free, all-natural gum, has launched Simply Candy -- a clean label line that currently consists of a new mini chocolate bar product.
The release of the new line marks a "low-key" entrance for Simply Gum into the highly competitive candy and chocolate categories. According to the company, the decision to tackle the chocolate industry came as a result of its successful launch of Simply Fruit Gummies in July. Much like its original gum product, Simply Candy will be sold via a direct-to-consumer model from the company's website. In addition, Simply Candy will see the brand continuing its minimalist packaging designs and commitment to simplified ingredient lists.
"[Simply Candy] just has four ingredients: it's dark chocolate, it's dates, some roasted peanuts and a little bit of sea salt," creating a "very different flavor," explained Jeannnie Kim, the Vice President of Marketing at Simply Gum.
