Rawr launches vegan, gluten-free chocolate bars

The range of ‘thin’ bars are available in five flavours, including Lucuma Cacao, 68% Cacao, 80% Cacao, Orange and Mint.

The chocolate is certified organic by the Soil Association, certified Fairtrade and is naturally sweetened with coconut palm sugar.

Rawr has wrapped the bars in 100% recyclable foil and packaged in a matte-effect wrapper made from 90% recycled paper and 10% cocoa shell.

Orya Blumenfeld, owner and managing director at Rawr, said: “With our new range we want to introduce a convenient way to enjoy our chocolate. With their delicate yet deliberate mouthfeel, these thin bars really reveal a whole new Rawr experience.”​

The ‘pocket-sized’ bars are now available from Rawr’s website, with a recommended retail price of £1.49.

Blumenfeld added: “We’ve had tremendous feedback from early testers of Rawr Thin bars and anticipate this new format to attract many new chocolate-lovers to our base. We are very excited about 2018!”​

The launch of Rawr’s thin chocolate bars followed a number of confectionery product releases over the past month.  

Chocolatier Paul A Young has created a luxury truffle, using premium California prunes, in time for Easter.

Meanwhile, Orange Smarties are set to reappear in packs filled with the sweets this spring,​ following the success of Giant Tubes of the confection last autumn.
