Food allergy sufferer Chris Crutchley has unveiled his brand new Enjoy! free-from chocolate range, a delicious selection of treats that stemmed from years of missing out!
Chris Crutchley had suffered with several food allergies that made his favourite food off limits – chocolate. For fifteen years he had to go without his best-loved treat due to the restricting ingredients that most widely-available chocolate brands used, until he decided to take a stand and create his very own product!
The Enjoy! range is free from all of the 14 main allergens, which include:
- Celery
- Cereals (containing gluten)
- Crustaceans (e.g. prawns, crabs, lobsters)
- Eggs
- Fish
- Lupin
- Milk
- Molluscs (e.g, mussels and oysters)
- Mustard
- Tree nuts (e.g. almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, brazil)
- Sesame seeds
- Soybeans
- Sulphur dioxide and sulphites (if they are at a concentration of more than ten parts per million)
- Peanuts and peanut derivatives
According to Chris “none of the free from alternatives came anywhere near to hitting the spot taste-wise”, so he started experimenting with making his own treats using “organic, raw and natural ingredients”.
The resulting chocolate snacks are suitable for people who suffer from most food allergies, including those who are gluten-free and vegan. In fact, Enjoy! are responsible for the the UK’s first vegan caramel-filled bars and vegan caramel-filled buttons!
The base recipe consists of just cacao powder, cacao butter and coconut sugar, but the range has now expanded to include 26 different product variations. They’re also organic and contain no refined sugar.
The full range, including prices, is listed below and is available now on the Enjoy! online store.
