Sephra Chocolate Flavoured Compound Mini Beans 5.5kg
Chocolate Mini Beans 5.5kg – Bulk Smarties-Style Topping for Waffles, Crêpes, Ice Cream & More
Sephra Chocolate Flavoured Mini Beans are a practical, cost-effective topping for high-volume dessert service. Also known as mini lentils or Smarties-style chocolate beans, they feature a crisp sugar shell and a chocolate-flavoured compound centre — designed to add colour, texture and sweetness to all kinds of cold and ambient desserts.
Supplied in a food-grade blue liner within a sturdy cardboard box, the 5.5kg bulk format is ideal for commercial kitchens, dessert parlours, kiosks, and ice cream counters. These toppings store well, pour easily, and deliver great portion control in busy foodservice settings.
Made using cocoa powder and vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter, the chocolate compound gives a similar flavour and texture to real chocolate at a significantly lower cost — ideal where chocolate isn’t the focus but appearance and crunch matter.
Popular Uses for Chocolate Mini Lentils in Foodservice
• Topping Belgian waffles, bubble waffles and crêpes
• Decorating ice cream sundaes, soft serve, and frozen yoghurt
• Finishing cupcakes, traybakes, brownies and cookies
• Filling pick ‘n’ mix tubs, sweet cones, and dessert boxes
• Use in sundae bars, dessert platters or takeaway kits
How to Use Chocolate Compound Beans in Commercial Setups
• Best used as a cold or ambient topping — add just before serving
• Can be baked into cookies (colours may bleed slightly)
• Store in a cool, dry place (16–20°C) away from heat and moisture
• Supplied in bulk for easy portioning and cost control
Why Compound Chocolate is Ideal for Toppings
These mini beans are made with chocolate compound — using cocoa powder and vegetable fats in place of cocoa butter. This keeps costs down while still delivering a chocolate-style flavour and visual appeal. A smart choice for topping desserts where appearance and crunch are the priority.

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.
