VELVEETA taps Compartés Chocolatier for the new 'TruffVels,' which are decadent chocolate cheese truffles. The joint confections combine Compartés' original white chocolate shells with the whipped cheese-like staple from VELVEETA. The portable nibbles are made into what appear as scored mac and cheese pasta shapes and are packaged in a black and gold box with co-branding on the front.
“I love the idea of pushing the boundaries of chocolate making and creating a unique product unlike anything that’s ever been done before. With “TruffVels” mixing two of life’s greatest pleasures, chocolate and cheese, we can all live the good “La Dolce VELVEETA” life this Summer," said Jonathan Grahm, Compartés CEO and Lead Chocolatier.
The product is being offered on the Compartés website for a limited time.
