Fruit in
dark chocolate.
The short answer: organic semi-dried fruit coated in dark chocolate with 50 % cocoa, according to the pack. There is pineapple, coconut and bonbons with a pineapple centre. The chocolate contains raw cane sugar, so this is a treat, not a sugar-free snack. It keeps for up to 12 months without a fridge, away from heat, because chocolate melts.
