Seeking a nutty texture that would be pleasing to the bite, Cheaky Co developed a process to dry roast the mighty chickpea in such a way that it produces a satisfying crunch. Combine that with premium dark chocolate, and you’ve got a recipe that will keep you coming back.

Enter Orbs! Using only chickpeas, and sustainably sourced direct trade cocoa beans from Africa, this morish chickpea snack is suitable for strict vegans and strict vegetarians, and is free from gluten, soy, cows milk and preservatives. Enjoy, guilt free.

INGREDIENTS

70% Single-origin dark chocolate with a dry-roasted chickpea centre: Chickpeas, Dark Chocolate (Cocoa Mass 65%, Cocoa Butter 5%, Sugar, Sunflower Lecithin), Shine (Acacia Gum).

PRODUCTION

Orbs are produced in an ISO-Certified and independently audited facility using strict food-safety and allergen management protocols. Raw chickpeas are used which are soaked and dry roasted, after which they are coated in a single-origin 70% dark chocolate. Then each Orb is given a shine, mostly because they deserve to.

STORAGE

Orbs are heat-sensitive and should be stored/displayed out of direct sunlight (in an airtight environment if bought loose), and in a cool dry place not exceeding 22°C/72°F. Orbs must-never be stored in a chilled or refrigerated environment.
