About Unreal
We're on a mission to unjunk the world, starting with our favorite food group: CHOCOLATE.
Our story began when two kids who loved candy got tired of being told they couldn't eat it. All their favorites were filled with artificial ingredients, excess sugar, and stuff they couldn't pronounce. Why did something that tasted so good have to be so bad for them? OR DID IT?
That question inspired our mission: to unjunk the world. Unreal was born, and it sparked a ripple of change. With real, simple ingredients, no artificial anything, way less sugar, and unbelievable taste, those kids proved that better was possible (and, well, better).
Today, we're shaking up an old-school industry, winning over a devoted fanbase, and showing up on more and more shelves every day.
