Better-for-you confectionery brand, Funday Natural Sweets, is branching out into the world of chocolate – with the launch of four new products.

The nostalgic range features bites and bullets with fruity, gummy centres coated in smooth, creamy chocolate. Products include Funday Milk Chocolate Raspberry Bullets, White Chocolate Raspberry Bullets, Milk Chocolate Banana Bites, and Dark Chocolate Strawberry Bites.

The new chocolate range is gluten free, uses natural colours and flavours, contains prebiotic fibre for gut health, and features no added sugar and no sugar alcohols.

Funday founder, Daniel Kitay, said chocolate has been one of the company’s most requested products since day one, so the team took its time to get it right.

“This range is smooth, fruity and seriously moreish, without added sugar or sugar alcohols,” said Kitay.

“It’s all about spreading a little more fun and joy through chocolate, and we’re so excited to finally share it with Funday fans.”

The new Funday Chocolate range will be available from Woolworths, Chemist Warehouse and independent grocers from 9 February, with 50g bags from RRP $6.00 each.
