TARGET AND DOLLAR GENERAL ADD DIVINE CHOCOLATE TO STORES ACROSS THE NATION

Ethical Premium Single-Serve Snack Bars Debut in 16,500 Dollar General Stores; Full-Size Bars Launch in Select Targets Nationwide

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, September 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Divine Chocolate, the world’s first and only Fairtrade, B-Corp certified premium chocolate brand that is co-owned by farmers, is leading the way as two major retail chains expand their Ethical Premium chocolate offerings. Divine’s delicious single serving Snack Bars have been added to the shelves of more than 16,500 Dollar General stores across the country. As well, its Full-Size bars are now in select Target stores nationwide.

Divine’s Snack Bars are available both in smooth 70% Dark Chocolate and creamy Milk Chocolate varieties. Each is made with the finest quality natural ingredients and deliciously rich Fairtrade cocoa grown by family farmers in Ghana. Convenient and affordable, these single-serving offerings allow customers to enjoy Ethical Premium chocolate on the go, and help with consumer desire to be more mindful of portion sizes for health reasons.

“Right now, there is growing demand for single-serving premium snacks. But along with convenience, chocolate lovers also expect superior quality and are looking for all-natural products,” said Troy Pearley, Executive Vice President and General Manager, North America of Divine Chocolate. “With this smaller bar, we meet those needs and, being ethically sourced, they become a choice consumers can feel great about indulging in.”

The 1.2 ounce bars are available now at Divine Chocolate’s website [www.divinechocolate.com] and at Dollar General stores nationwide.

In addition, Divine’s Full-Size 3-ounce bars have also debuted in select Target stores across the U.S. Target’s initial Divine offerings include 70% Dark, Dark Mint, and Milk Toffee & Sea Salt. Divine’s expansion into these retail outlets confirms retailers’ desire to meet consumers’ increased demand for all-natural, ethically sourced products. Industry findings show that the Ethical Premium Chocolate bar category – defined as chocolate that is ethically sourced as designated by the Fairtrade and/or B Corp certifications and made from sustainable ingredients – is growing twice as fast as the Premium Chocolate category [Source: IRI Total U.S. MULOC L52W 08.07.22].
