NEW YORK, March 25 (UPI) -- Macy's Inc. of New York has announced plans to sell an organic line of its popular Frango mint chocolates at 70 of its stores.

Tim Adams, chairman of Macy's Home store, said the new line of mints, which will also be available online, are designed "to keep pace with growing consumer demand for organic products," the Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday.

The company said the organic candies, which are scheduled to go on sale April 22 -- Earth Day -- contain organic milk chocolate, organic cane sugar and organic vanilla among other ingredients. The packaging for the popular treats will also be Earth-friendly: They will come in recycled paperboard boxes with vegetable-based ink.
