Made with real chocolate and no preservatives, the plant-based morsels do not contain artificial colors or flavors.

“As the founder of the chocolate chip morsel more than 80 years ago, Nestlé Toll House remains committed to creating great tasting products that meet the needs of consumer’s evolving lifestyles," said Chandra Kumar, president of bakery sweets at Nestlé USA. "With the launch of our new plant-based morsels, even more people will be able to enjoy the iconic Nestlé Toll House chocolate chip cookie no matter their dietary preferences or restrictions.”

In addition, the brand is also debuting its caramel-flavored morsels, which feature a rich and creamy texture, as well as a sweet taste.
