OCHO Plant-Based Caramels Launch in 4 Chocolate-Covered Flavors

OCHO has offered vegan coconut candy bars for years. But this year, they’ve leveled up with a whole new line of dairy-free, chocolate-covered, ooey-gooey caramels. OCHO Plant-Based Caramels are certified vegan, organic, and fair trade, and they are available in Classic, Coffee, Cinnamon, and Chocolate varieties.
