SEATTLE -- Theo Chocolate, a fair trade bean-to-bar chocolate maker, is launching a new line of snacks called Theo Chocolate Clusters.
The bite-sized snack combines dark chocolate with whole-food ingredients and a minimum of 50 milligrams of cocoa flavonols per serving. Cocoa flavonols are phytonutrients found naturally in the cocoa bean and support healthy blood flow, according to Theo, which is based in Seattle.
The clusters include a combination of quinoa, toasted coconut, dark chocolate, and cocoa flavonols in three flavors:
- Salted Almond: Almonds, dates, and chia seeds with a touch of Himalayan pink sea salt
- Turmeric Coconut: Ground turmeric and coconut with puffed sorghum
- Lemon Hemp: Hemp seeds and puffed sorghum with lemon essential oil
“We know that in today’s world, 92% of consumers are snacking during the day, and we created Theo Chocolate Clusters to achieve that perfect sweet spot, where you can have a satisfying treat without ingesting empty calories,” said Debra Music, Theo Chocolate's chief marketing officer.
Theo Chocolate Clusters are sold online and in Theo’s factory store in Seattle at a suggested retail price of $5.99. Distribution to national retailers is planned for January 2017. Theo Chocolate Clusters come in a resealable pouch and are organic, fair trade and non-GMO project verified, vegan, gluten free, soy free, and kosher.
Theo Chocolate was founded in 2006.
