Zippy Bites Truffles Are Alternatives To Energy Drinks

PISCATAWAY, NJ -- Zippy Bites LLC is introducing organic chocolate truffle energy snacks in multiple retail channels and reportedly has special packaging configured for vending machine sales.

The energy-boosting confections are said to contain a "natural" blend of caffeine, amino acids and vitamins enrobed in free-trade chocolate. They are free of preservatives, artificial colors and artificial sweeteners.

Available in mint and raspberry, Zippy Bites are formulated to deliver the energy equivalent of two 8-fl.oz. energy drinks or one energy shot, without the jitters. They have a suggested retail price of $4.99 for a package of two.
