Costa has embraced Veganuary with a host of vegan-friendly product launches, alongside some indulgent non-vegan items, rolling out across its estate.

The coffee shop behemoth has once again collaborated with vegan brand Bosh! to create the Chocolate & Pecan Slice, while also extending its portfolio Aero-branded products as well as new cakes, muffins and biscuits as part of a limited-edition menu.

Here’s a closer look at some of the new items available in Costa stores across the country:

Chocolate & Pecan Slice

This is the second offering from vegan brand Bosh! and Costa’s partnership after the firms teamed up to create an Ultimate Chocolate Slice last year. The new Chocolate & Pecan slice features a tiffin base, dark chocolate and biscuit pieces all topped with caramel, dark chocolate and pecan pieces.

Chocolate & Caramel Muffin made with Aero

Pairing baked goods with familiar confectionery brands has proved popular for Costa with recent iterations including Rocky Road with Aero Peppermint Bubbles, an After Eight Muffin and a Terry’s Chocolate Orange Muffin, to name a few. The latest creation sees a chocolate muffin filled with caramel sauce topped with icing and Aero Milk Bubbles.

Gimme S’mores Cake

The Gimme S’mores Cake could be classed as a hybrid baked good by serving up the experience of cake, s’mores and brownies. Sold by the slice, it is topped with speculoos frosting, brownie pieces and marshmallows before being hand drizzled with speculoos spread and chocolate ganache.
