Vegan Chocolate NO NOs

Vegan Chocolate Treatsmilkless_polar

Vegan Tuck box have sent me some vegan chocolate treats to try out, all by Premium Chocolatiers.

Milkless Polar Dream White – vegan white chocolate. This is my least favourite of the products sent through.  The chocolate is a bit grainy and does not melt in your mouth very well.  It is sweet like white chocolate, but there are definitely better vegan white chocolate products available.

Choco NO NO’s – hard colourful shells coating a milk chocolate style sweet chocolate.  These are just lovely,  the outer shell is crispy and the inside is lovely chocolate.

nono_peanut

Peanut Butter NO NOs – hard to get that these contain no nuts,  but you get the outer crispy shell and inside is lovely creamy peanut butter without the peanuts.  Just lovely.

This brand has really come up with some great vegan products,  and it is great that Vegan Tuck Box have got them into the UK.

You can buy them directly from Vegan Tuck Box.  Both are suitable for vegans.

Vegan Cocoa Powderbelbake_cocoa

A pack of dairy free cocoa powder from the Belbake range of Lidl supermarket.

I am glad we have a vegan label on this product, it is nice to be sure that cocoa powder is vegan.  You can use this for hot chocolate, baking lovely cakes or biscuits.  This is a pretty good cocoa powder and is good as any I have tried before.

Here is a recipe for chocolate cake which is great for using this product and your left over Easter Chocolate.

Vegan Hazelnut Pralinespernigotti_nocciolato

An Italian pack of individually wrapped hazelnuts coated in rich chocolate from Pernigotti.  I got these from Vegan Store.

I am in love with these chocolates they are so yummy.  Inside each wrapper is 2 chunks of chocolate and inside each chunk is a whole hazelnut.  The creamy chocolate is heavenly and the crunchy nut is lovely.  I would be very happy to have these as a gift,  one of the better hazelnut chocolate.

Vegan Chocolate Dropsbeyond_dark

A pack of 70% dark chocolate drops,  which they say “contains up to 3 times more natural antioxidants than other dark chocolate”, from Beyond Dark.

The dark chocolate drops are good,  they taste like a pleasant dark chocolate.  They are great for snacking or using in cooking, or sprinkled on ice cream.  The antioxidant properties sound good,  I like reasons to eat chocolate.  I enjoyed them.

Each 35gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  70% cocoa.  Gluten Wheat and Dairy free.  Per pack is 189kcal.  I got mine from www.veganstore.co.uk

Dr. Oetker Dark Chocolate Chunks

Vegan Chocolate ChunksIMG_0983

A pack of dark chocolate chunks from Dr. Oetker.   Be aware that these chocolate chunks have no dairy,  but the dark chocolate chips contain milk, so be careful which ones you pick up, as they look very similar.

I have found these chocolate chunks to be really good for baking.  They hold their shape well when baked.  In cakes and cookies you get a good chocolate chunk texture, which is firm.  I also like to use these in home made vegan coconut ice cream.  The dark chocolate works great with the creamy vanilla flavours.

Each 100gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq).  Ingredients are sugar, cocoa mass, soya lecithin, natural flavouring.  Sold in supermarkets.  I got mine in the Co-op.

A pack of 9 dairy free Around Midnight Espresso Chocolate Truffles from Booja Booja.

These truffles are just wonderful,  I think i love almost everything Booja Booja do.  These truffles have an intense coffee flavour, backed up with the luxurious taste of the booja chocolate.  They have a nice, firm texture,  I like to have them straight from the fridge.

Vegan Chocolate & HazelnutsIMG_0714

A bar of extra dark chocolate with hazelnuts from Venchi.  I found this in M&S in a London store,  I have not seen it in the more rural stores yet.  It was in the specialist section where they are doing Italian style food.

IMG_0713

This bar of chocolate has 3 cubes of chocolate which are approx 50grams each which is massive,  this is a huge bar of chocolate.  I like the whole hazelnuts they were crunchy and tasty.  The dark chocolate was quite pleasant, not bitter and worked great with the hazelnuts.    Perfect for sharing. Very indulgent but lovely.

Vegan Chocolate Bunny Bar

An organic vegan milk chocolate bunny bar from Moo Free.  Moo Free in my opinion make the best vegan milk chocolate that I have tasted.  These little bunnies are really cute,  they are a solid block of their milk chocolate moulded into a bunny.  Great for kids of all ages including myself. Ideal for Easter but I would buy these all year round.  Perfect for a little treat.

Vegan Chocolate Bar

A vegan crunchy peanut butter bar coated in rice-milk vegan chocolate from Go Max Go.   I really like the GoMaxGo bars,  they have some really good choices,  this new one is another delight.  The rice-milk chocolate is really nice, the crunchy peanut butter is similar in texture to honeycomb, but stickier and made with peanuts.  The bar is lovely and crunchy and quite satisfying to eat. 

Each 37gram bar is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  No transfats or anything artificial.  Dairy free and gluten free.  Per bar is 160kcal.  Sold in some health food shops and on line.  I got mine at vegan store.

Hotel Chocolat Dark Christmas Tree

Vegan Dark Chocolate Christmas

A bar of dark chocolate made with 70% dark with a Christmas tree shape with a sprinkle of fruity snowflakes from Hotel Chocolat.    I really enjoy the range for vegans at Hotel Chocolat,  however I am hugely disappointed of late,  many of the new chocolates that they make using dark chocolate have been spoiled by small amounts of milk, which is in the decoration they use.  It would be so simple to make them vegan and suitable for everyone.  When I mentioned in this to the shop assistant, she said that they have had a lot of complaints.

This bar is very good, it is made using their lovely dark chocolate which is smooth and creamy and not bitter.  It is decorated with a raspberry freeze made of raspberries so totally vegan.  It is great for sharing and it looks really lovely too.  I will be adding a few of these as little gifts to some friends and family over the festive season.

Each 100gram bar is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per half a bar is 271kcal.  Sold in Hotel Chocolat shops and on line.

Vegan Chocolate Buttons

A collection of 18 antique button shapes made with 70% dark chocolate from Hotel Chocolat.  They are very lovely to look at, they look like actual vintage buttons.  The buttons are really pleasant and are in different sizes.  The rich dark chocolate that you would expect from Hotel Chocolat is great,  it is not bitter but a good quality dark chocolate.  I like to have one or two buttons with a good cup of coffee. 

Each 100gram box is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  70% dark chocolate.  I paid £7 at a Hotel Chocolat outlet,  they do sell these on line as well.

Holy Cow Lemon & Lime Creams

Vegan Lemon & Lime Chocolates

A box of lemon and lime fondant cream chocolates from Holy Cow.  These chocolates are not my favourite thing.  The flavours do not seem to work very well,  they are not lemony or limey enough,  there is not a good citrus flavour.  The chocolate is fine, and the texture is pleasant, but I would not buy these again.

Each box of chocolates are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.   Hand made in the UK. I bought mine through veganstore.co.uk

Cleo’s Peanut Butter Cups

Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

A pack of 2 peanut butter, rice milk chocolate cups called Cleo’s from Go Max Go.  I quite enjoyed these chocolate cups.  the rice milk chocolate is good and it works well with the peanut butter.  It is a savoury sweet taste.  I would definitely have them again.  I had a slight problem with one of my packs either it had melted or more likely the manufacturer had a problem because I got a big splodge of chocolate peanut butter rather than the lovely looking cups,  it still tasted good, but looked a bit wonky.  Perfect for sharing.

Each pack of 2 cups is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.   No hydrogenated fats, dairy free, no cholesterol, rice milk chocolate.  I bought mine through an on line vegan retailer.

Moo Free Banana Chocolate

Dairy Free Milk Chocolate with Banana

A dairy free vegan milk chocolate topped with banana chips from Moo Free.  Moo Free chocolate is the best milk chocolate substitute out there in my opinion,  if someone gave me some to try without telling me it was Moo Free I would not believe that it was not dairy chocolate.  This bar is really good,  it is the lovely chocolate with some dried banana chips on the top.  The banana chips are good but the banana flavour is not very strong,  I would prefer a more banana taste, the chips were crispy and worked well with the lovely chocolate.  This is another winner for me.  My favourite Moo Free product at the moment is the hunycomb which I reviewed earlier.

Each 100gram bar is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy Free. Made in the UK.  Vegan Society Approved.  Sold in health food shops and on line.  ( I have found that the local shops are not stocking the newer products so I had to buy on line).

The Raw Chocolate Co Pitch Dark

Vegan Raw Dark Chocolate

An organic bar of raw vegan chocolate made with 72% solids from The Raw Chocolate Co.  It is sweetened with coconut sugar.  This raw chocolate tastes quite similar to other raw chocolates that I have tried.  It does have a darker flavour than most and is quite rich.  The chocolate is quite bitter but not unpleasantly so.  I did like it, but as with other raw chocolates I can only eat a small amount at any one time.  Great with a coffee.

Each 44gram bar is suitable for vegans and is organic. Per bar is 292kcal.  I bought mine in an independent health food shop. For £1.99
