Combining sweet figs with a salty vegan bacon, the unique flavour was designed by Londoner, Louise Coutinho, who submitted her idea in a search for the UK’s next chocolatier in a creative [King’s Trust](https://www.kingstrust.org.uk/) and Amazon competition. Judged by a panel of experts, including Reggae Reggae sauce creator Levi Roots, Figs in Blankets came out on top and the idea has been brought to life by sustainable, small British business H!P. It will be available to buy exclusively on Amazon for £3.50, in support of The King’s Trust. There are 7,500 limited edition Figs in Blankets chocolate bars available for purchase and Amazon will donate at least 15% of the purchase price of each one to the charity. --- > This year, I'll be getting my festive sarnies from [@coopuk](https://twitter.com/coopuk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). > They're donating £50k from the sale of their Christmas sandwiches to their charity > partner, [@barnardos](https://twitter.com/barnardos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw).
