Pip & Nut | B Corp

Picture this: it’s lunch, you’re leaving the office to your nearby Tesco Express to grab your meal deal, then suddenly you see something magical. Is it really? It can’t be? Your favourite sweet treat is now available at Tesco Express AND part of the meal deal snack options? That’s right! Our Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, made with Tony’s Open Chain sourced cocoa, are available now in Tesco Express stores nationwide. Your meal deal will never be the same. Just make sure your co-workers get their own, as we can’t promise your two cups will make it out the pack un-snatched. A big thank you to Andrew Skinner for helping get our cups on the shelves! 

Not just a pretty pack! Alongside the shiny yellow button on our cups' packaging, we have refreshed the cartoons on the trays within to hero the impact of Tony’s Open Chain. Thanks to the illustrative prowess of Bernardo Henning, shoppers can collect three different artworks and learn more about Tony’s Open Chain’s sourcing principles. Peanutty Pokemon cards anyone? The best bit? The arty trays are now recyclable at home! Just another win for our Operations team which will save 1054 kilos of material, two grizzly bears worth if you will, from going to landfill.💥

OOOOHH, WE’VE GOT A HUGE, CHOCOLATEY ANNOUNCEMENT… We are so unbelievably proud to announce that Pip & Nut has officially joined Tony’s Open Chain. 🎆 🍫 🎉 🐿 As the first UK snack brand to become a Mission Ally, 100% of the cocoa in our chocolate nut butter cups will be sourced exclusively through Tony’s Open Chain. We sit alongside 16 other Mission Allies worldwide (for now  👀), joining the likes of Waitrose & Partners and Ben & Jerry's on the collective mission to end exploitation in cocoa. Frankly, one LinkedIn post isn’t enough room to explain how meaningful this move is in our sustainable sourcing and B Corp journey. As you can also see from the cheesy grins of our celebrating squirrels, it’s been tricky not to shout about this project from the rooftops, which is why we’ll be posting much more about our Mission Allyship and the incredible work of Tony's Open Chain. In short, think of the shiny new yellow button on our packaging as an indicator that the cocoa within it is: 😋 Seriously tasty (no really, we’ve done the insight panels) 🎯 100% traceable, which is not the standard in the cocoa industry 🍫 Paying farmers higher price long-term which enables them to earn a living income and invest in productivity, driving down child labour and preventing deforestation. We look forward to being tagged in lots of shelfies over the next month as our refreshed cups start rolling out into stores nationwide. Be sure to keep an eye on our socials this week too, as we announce some brand new stockists! Phew, another day, another industry changing updating from The Nest. Toodle-Pip for now. P.S., Thank you to everyone from team #Tony’sOpenChain and Tony's Chocolonely for welcoming us onboard, and in particular, Kitty Pandya, Sanne Van Zon - Arts, Joke Aerts, Douglas Lamont. Here’s to many more Mission Allies!

Camp Nuts 2024 🐿 A couple of weeks ago we left The Nest for our annual Camp Nuts. This year’s destination was Selgars Mill in the beautiful Devon countryside, for twenty four hours of unwinding and connecting as a team. The agenda featured an Enchanted Garden themed feast (guess which Sales Squirrel decided to dress as ‘mulch’😳), plenty of bonfire games, a peaceful morning yoga session and even some intuitive painting. The Mill also provided the perfect backdrop for workshops led by Chief Squirrel Pip and other members of the team, running through some of our exciting plans for the next six months and beyond. Camp Nuts has fast become one of our favourite Pip & Nut traditions and each year it just gets better and better. Making time to for the whole team to hang out together is something we’ll always prioritise. All our delicious food was cooked by the brilliant Soph Gordon and everything was washed down by some of our favourite B Corp drinks. Big love to Lucky Saint | B Corp™, JUBEL, DEYA Brewing Company and DASH Water BIG thanks to our designated culture club for planning the wildly successful trip. Here’s to the next one!

We've been blown away by the community reaction on our new Peanut Butter Stuffed Oat Bars range. Our community is at the heart of everything we do, and for our bars range it was no different. Inspired by the thousands of tags we received from our followers using their favourite Pip & Nut in their oaty breakfast bowls, we looked for a way to turn this into an on-the-go snack. We've created a satisfying, delicious bar that is STUFFED with our award-winning peanut butter, and made with natural ingredients. It took a while to get them right, and it was definitely worth the wait. Find them on pipandnut.com and stay tuned for some big retailer news next week 👀🐿️

From jar to bar! The wait is finally over. We couldn’t be prouder to introduce you to our new Peanut Butter Stuffed Oat Bars. Inspired by our community of nut butter lovers and their obsession with peanut butter on oats (just check out our Instagram tags), we thought it was about time we made an on-the-go option that ticked all the boxes: tasty, satisfying and natural. These bars are made with 100% British wholegrain oats and they are stuffed with so much of our silky smooth peanut butter you could spread it on toast (well, nearly).  We’ve packed in lots of other wholesome ingredients too, meaning each bar is high in fibre and contains 6g of plant-based protein. Choose from three flavours: Original, Chocolate and Apple & Cinnamon. Available NOW on pipandnut.com. Some big retailer news coming next week.
