Sephra Chocolate Flavoured Compound Mini Beans 1.25kg
Sephra Chocolate Flavoured Compound Mini Beans 1.25kg Resealable Bag
Sephra mini chocolate beans, also known as chocolate lentils, are a cost-effective way to add colour and crunch to your desserts. Each bean has a crisp sugar shell in assorted bright colours with a chocolate-flavoured compound centre.
The resealable 1.25kg pack is designed for smaller outlets — cafés, kiosks, ice cream stands — where freshness and portion control matter as much as presentation.
Why Compound Works Better for Toppings
With toppings, the appeal comes from the look, crunch and colour. Once beans are scattered over waffles, crêpes, ice cream or cupcakes, the fine detail of the chocolate is almost impossible to notice. Using real chocolate versions drives up cost without improving the result.
That’s why Sephra’s beans use a chocolate-flavoured compound centre. You get the same recognisable crunch and colourful finish, at a price point that works for your business.

Q: What are these mini beans made from?
A: They’re made from chocolate-flavoured compound — using cocoa powder and vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter. That gives a similar chocolate-style taste at a much lower cost.
Q: Are these like Smarties?
A: They’re similar in look — colourful mini lentils with a crisp shell and chocolatey centre — but Smarties are made with real milk chocolate. These use chocolate compound for better cost control.
Q: Why use compound chocolate instead of real chocolate?
A: Compound chocolate replaces cocoa butter and chocolate liquor with cocoa powder and vegetable fats. It’s much more cost-effective, especially for toppings where appearance and texture matter more than intense chocolate flavour.
Q: What is the best before date for this product?
A: The best before date for this product can vary depending on our current stock levels and supply. If you need the specific best before date for your order, please send us an email, and we'll provide you with the information as soon as possible.
Q: What are they best used for?
A: Topping waffles, crêpes, ice cream, cupcakes, sweet tubs and more. They're great for colour and crunch, not intense chocolate flavour.
Q: Will they melt on hot desserts?
A: Yes, they will soften or melt if exposed to heat. Add them after cooking, just before serving.
