“Consumers are more interested in organic products than ever before – in fact the organic market is now worth almost £2.8bn – so it’s the right time for a brand like ours to be creating something new for dark aspirant shoppers.  

“What’s more, we found that 29% of chocolate consumers would like to try dark chocolate but many imagine it to be too bitter. The Smooth bars aim to attract these dark chocolate aspirants, providing a perfectly balanced intensity of our finest organic and ethically-sourced sun-dried cocoa beans for a deliciously smooth, less bitter dark chocolate.”
