Lindt asks chocolate lovers to fall in love with a new favorite

STRATHAM, N.H. -- Premium chocolate brand Lindt USA is kicking off autumn early by debuting Lindor Pumpkin Spice truffles, a limited edition flavor for chocolate lovers.

Lindor Pumpkin Spice truffles join the iconic Lindor collection as the newest seasonal innovation, featuring a delicate milk chocolate shell enveloping a smooth melting pumpkin spice filling. The Lindor recipe embodies the craftsmanship of the Lindt Master Chocolatiers, and the new truffle signifies the first pumpkin-inspired flavor launch from Lindt. 

"We're thrilled to have perfected a premium chocolate recipe that will delight the palettes of both pumpkin spice and chocolate lovers," said Lindt Master Chocolatier Ann Czaja. "The new LINDOR Pumpkin Spice truffle combines our distinctly smooth milk chocolate with a gourmet pumpkin spice filling for a delicious taste of the fall season."

To celebrate the new truffles, Lindt is partnering with creative studio Wells & Grace to share tips on how to make the most of fall, and also collaborating with Lark Hotels in New England to offer an exclusive Lindor welcome service. Chocolate fans can also join in the seasonal fun by participating in giveaways hosted across Lindt social channels.

From Sept. 22 – Oct.  26, Lindt will host a "Fall in Love with a New Favorite" Pinterest contest encouraging users to pin inspiration from the Lindt Chocolate "Fall Favorites" Pinterest board for the chance to win a year's supply of LINDOR truffles (five winners). On Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, Lindt will host a Tag-A-Friend Giveaway from Oct. 19 – 26, 2016 where consumers simply tag a friend in the comments to enter to win two 19 oz. bags of Lindor Pumpkin Spice truffles (16 winners).
