New Zealand based frozen fruit treat brand, Goodness Kitchen, has launched its popular Choc Bites in independent grocers across Australia.

Born in Nelson, New Zealand, Goodness Kitchen is gearing up to win over the hearts of Australians with its frozen delights, available in Strawberries, Cherries, and Blueberries.

The bursting flavour of the Choc Bites is rooted in the quality of fruit, grown by hand-selected BRC-accredited growers both locally and overseas. The fruit is picked at peak ripeness and then snap-frozen, locking in the nutrients.

It is then coated in Rainforest Alliance Certified chocolate, made with 42 per cent cocoa solids and certified to adhere to environmental, social and economic standards.

A Goodness Kitchen spokesperson said the company was excited to introduce Choc Bites to the Australian market.

“Our commitment to quality and simplicity shines through in these treats,” said the spokesperson.

“Our goal was to celebrate the natural flavours of the ingredients and create a healthier alternative to traditional frozen sweet treats available. Real fruit, dark chocolate and nothing else, what’s not to love? We saw an opportunity in the frozen snack space to create a healthier alternative to traditional frozen sweet treats and Choc Bites was our answer to this.”

Goodness Kitchen’s Choc Bites are now available from independent grocers around Australia, for RRP $9.00.
