Review of 2022
H!P’s Salted Honeycomb Bar and Salty Pretzel Oat M!lk chocolate bar
Launched earlier in 2022, the Salted Honeycomb bar was inspired by a classic fl avour combination, with an added salty twist. As a vegan-friendly brand, there are no bees involved in this bar: our honeycomb is made simply by using sugar, glucose syrup and sodium bicarbonate. We then blend this with 41% single-origin Colombian cocoa, oat milk and sea salt. The result is a bar that is creamy, crunchy, sweet and salty all at once.
We prioritise our sustainable values without compromising
on taste: all our chocolate is ethically-sourced from a family- run cocoa farming business in Bogota, our packaging is plastic- free and our chocolate completely plant-based. The thick texture and sweet taste of oat milk is perfect for creating creamy chocolate without the dairy, and its environmental impact is signifi cantly lower than that of cow’s milk. The Salty Pretzel Bar is our best-selling fl avour. Chocolate and pretzels may not be a traditional mix, but the combination of smooth chocolate with salty, crunchy pretzels creates a moreish taste and delicious texture. We love combining sweet and salty fl avours, and pretzel pieces are the perfect way to introduce a subtle salty crunch. All our bars contain a blend of 41% single-origin Colombian cocoa with oat m!lk, which creates a chocolate that is both creamy (without the cream) and full of rich fl avour. The use of single-origin cocoa is important for both taste and sustainability: using pure Colombian cocoa gives our chocolate a distinct, nutty fl avour, as well as making it easier to control our carbon footprint and work closely with our cocoa providers who share our ethical values. When we tracked our carbon footprint with My Emissions,
we discovered that, per kilogram, our chocolate has a carbon footprint over 50% lower than chocolate made with dairy milk.
Lily O’Brien’s new range of chocolate truffl es
Last September, we unveiled our new range of Lily O’Brien’s chocolate truffl es, available in two fl avour varieties: Milk Chocolate and Salted Caramel. Presented in a unique gift box, each recipe has been created

celebrating with friends or relaxing at home, you can add your O‘ooh moment to any occasion.
The launch is set to add over £2m to the casual gifting market by the end of 2022, expanding appeal among younger audiences through a fusion of premium taste and texture at an attractive price point. As a brand, we have experienced market leading growth in the
past year and are continuing to invest in our brand through our Truffl es innovation, with a new marketing campaign ‘For the ones you really know’, leading us into the festive season – a key period for confectionery.
For us, craft and inventiveness are about blending contemporary trend-led fl avours such as salted caramel with more classically traditional recipes such as indulgent milk chocolate, offering luxury without a premium price tag. Part of the excitement is also creating different gifting opportunities to enjoy our chocolate collections – and bringing more occasions into the confectionery category. Innovation like our Lily O’Brien’s Truffl es offers an alternative gift solution to more traditional options.
Sharing is caring, especially when it comes to truffl es!
