Consider it Easter Eggs

Vegan Easter Eggsconsiderit_eggs

I bought 2 designs of the hollow Easter Eggs with gold decoration from Consider it,  a vegan chocolate company.

The Consider it bars I have reviewed recently are just wonderful,  so I had to try their Easter Eggs.  The eggs are decorated very well and look pretty (decoration is only on the front of the egg).  The medium sized eggs are hollow with nothing inside.  The chocolate is a very good quality dark chocolate that tastes yummy.  I really like the eggs.

The eggs are 70grams and are priced at £5.50 each.  On their site it does not say the weight or the size of the chocolate, so I was not sure what I was getting.

Each egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.   This is a artisan vegan brand.  I got mine direct from Considerit.

D&D Chocolates Dairy Free Egg

Vegan Hollow Chocolate Egg

A hollow dark chocolate dairy free egg from D&D Chocolate.   Just when I thought I had reviewed all of the vegan Easter products out there, Paul spotted this in the health food shop.  It was in a tub filled with eggs that are sold individually for 85p.

The dark chocolate egg is about the size of a hens egg.  It is hollow and nicely wrapped in foil.  The chocolate tastes good, not to bitter or sweet.  I like that it is vegan society approved.  Nice little treat.  Could be used for an Easter Egg hunt.

 

Each hollow egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  I got mine from an independent health food shop for 85p.

Vegan Easter Egg with Chocolate Mints

A dairy free dark chocolate Easter Egg with 6 chocolate mint crisps from Celtic Chocolates.  I am so impressed with Celtic Chocolates with the number of different Easter Eggs for vegans,  there is something for everyone.

This medium size dark chocolate egg is lovely,  the dark chocolate is pleasant and not bitter,  the chocolate mint crisps were my favourite part,  they are sweet and have a pleasant minty flavour.  Another good Easter Egg from this company.

 

 

 

Each 125gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy Free, Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free.  I got mine in Holland  & Barrett.

Vegan Milk Chocolate Easter Egg

A dairy free Milk Chocolate Style Egg with Chocolate Discs from the Choices range of Celtic Chocolates.  Celtic Chocolates have a number of vegan Easter Eggs this year and it has been a pleasure trying them all out.

This one is basically a medium size Egg that is dairy free and made Milk (style) Chocolate.  The egg is quite sweet and would suit most people also I think children would like it.  The chocolate discs are really nice and are a solid milk style chocolate.  Another good choice.

Each 125gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy Free, wheat free, gluten free and egg free.   Per 25gram serving is 126kcal.  I got mine in Holland & Barrett.

Vegan Caramel Easter Egg & Chocolates

A dairy free caramel chocolate Easter Egg with chocolate caramels from the Choices range of Celtic Chocolates.

I really like the Choices chocolate caramels which is what this Easter egg is based on.  The hollow egg is medium sized and tastes sweet and chocolatey with a slight caramel flavour.  The 3 caramels are very sweet and taste yummy.   Another good vegan Easter Egg from Choices.

Each 120gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Dairy Free, Gluten Free, and Egg Free.  30% cocoa.   Per 25gram serving is 144kcal.  I got mine in Holland & Barrett.

Cocoa Loco Chocolate Raspberry Easter Egg

Vegan Raspberry Easter Egg

An organic dark chocolate raspberry splat Easter Egg with Chocolate buttons from Cocoa Loco.  This medium sized Easter egg is pretty good.  The dark chocolate is really good quality and has a good flavour,  not too bitter and reasonably sweet.  The egg is quite heavy and is in two halves.  The freeze dried raspberries add a little bit of tart sweetness to the rich chocolate.  I love the fact that there is a little extra treat inside,  this is the first vegan Easter Egg I have found with some chocolate buttons inside.  There were only 5 buttons in mine but I was glad to have them.  I would be pleased with this egg for Easter.

Each 225gram egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Organic and Fair Trade.  I got mine from Viva’s  On line shop,  but it is sold in lots of places and on line.

Cocoa Loco Praline Easter Eggs

Vegan Hazlenut Praline Chocolate Eggs

A pack of four dark chocolate half eggs filled with hazelnut praline from Cocoa Loco.  Diary free Easter has never been easier,  there are loads of different choices out there and these Eggs are pretty good.

The dark chocolate is very nice and inside the hazelnut praline is really good,  the eggs are rich and decadent.  Definitely one for the grown ups these lovely eggs are a real treat. The praline is soft and nutty and heavenly.  Great for an Easter Gift.  I like they are in halves because they are very rich so it is enough.  Great with a mug of tea.

Each 100gram pack of 4 egg halves is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Organic.  Fair Trade.   I got mine from Animal Aid on line shop.

Montezuma’s Eco Egg

Vegan Dark Chocolate & Cocoa Nibs Egg

A large organic dark chocolate Easter Egg with cocoa nibs in Eco packaging from Montezuma’s.   When you buy this egg 5 pence goes to Butterfly Conservation.  This is a seriously dark and intense chocolate Easter Egg.   The cocoa nibs add an extra flavour of richness and slight bitterness which is really nice.    I would only suggest you buy this egg if you like these very strong flavours,  if you don’t try the praline mini eggs from Montezuma’s as these are a little sweeter.

 

I enjoyed the flavour,  but one thing that has been disappointing me with vegan easter eggs so far is that there is no treat inside,  just the hollow egg.  This one is just the chocolate egg, it would be good if they put some chocolate buttons inside or mini eggs.  I do like the packaging.

 

Each 150gram egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Organic.  73% cocoa solids.  Sold in all sorts of shops and on line,  I got mine from John Lewis.

Hotel Chocolat Egg Sandwich

Vegan Dark Chocolate Easter Egg

A seriously Dark Chocolate Easter Egg with cocoa nibs from Hotel Chocolat.  This is the only vegan friendly Easter Egg I could see from Hotel Chocolat.  Last year they did a fantastic large Gianduja Egg but not this year.

This egg is tiny at just 100grams of chocolate,  which is the size of a large chocolate bar and costs a wapping £8.  Don’t get me wrong,  I don’t mind paying a bit more for good quality chocolate which this is,  but I do think that charging £4.50 for the extra packaging is a bit steep.  (you can buy a bar of their dark chocolate 100grams is £3.50).

The Chocolate is lovely and the cocoa nibs are a nice touch adding a bit of crunch to the chocolate.  Maybe I will buy some more when they do the sale after Easter when they discount everything down like last year.

Each 100gram Easter Egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Made with 70% cocoa solids.  Sold in Hotel Chocolat outlets and online.

Moo Free Easter Egg

Vegan Easter Egg

A dairy free milk chocolate style Easter Egg from Moo Free.  I have said many many times how much I like Moo Free Chocolate,  I think that they make the best dairy free milk chocolate out there.  This Easter Egg is lovely and made with the delicious Moo Free Chocolate.  I really enjoyed it.  Ideal for vegans, dairy intolerant people or anyone who likes good chocolate.  It is a bit more expensive than you get dairy chocolate but it does taste good.  My only slight disappointment is that I would have liked a little bag of chocolate buttons in the pack along with the egg,  like what I used to get when I had dairy chocolate.

Each 100gram egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy Free Milk Chocolate.  Per 100grams is 586kcal.  Sold on line and in health food shops.  I got mine from Animal Aid for £4.25

oops sorry I have just realised that I have reviewed this Easter Egg last year,  but it is still great, so maybe a second review would not hurt.  I loved it then and I love it now.

Divine Dark Chocolate Eggs

Vegan Chocolate Eggs

A pack of fair trade foil wrapped dark chocolate eggs from Divine.  Easter may not be until the end of March but the shops are filled with Easter Eggs.  So on the vegan Easter egg hunt my first find are these Divine mini egg shaped chocolates.

The chocolate is a 70% dark Fair Trade Ghanaian variety.  I found the chocolate crumbly,  more than usual compared to other Divine dark chocolate I have tried.  The little eggs are solid and they taste like Divine Chocolate which is pleasant and not too bitter,  not my favourite chocolate but OK.  I like that I could use these chocolate eggs as a cake decoration which is the main reason why I bought them.

Each 170gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians as far as I can tell (see my FAQ)  Fair Trade.  I bought mine in Oxfam for £3.99.

Hotel Chocolat Gianduja Egg

Vegan Easter Egg

A dark chocolate Easter egg with Gianduja Truffles from Hotel Chocolat.  I apologise for not reviewing this Easter Egg before Easter,  but I bought it in the sale.  The original price was £40 which I thought was way too much to spend on an Egg.  I paid half price in the sale which I personally think is a fair price for the weight of chocolate.  I love Hotel Chocolat vegan products, but I think that they overpriced this egg.

The Easter Egg is dark chocolate which is rich but not bitter.  The chocolate is high quality.  The truffles are really good, there are 20 in the box,  coated in sugar crystals.  The truffles are smooth and creamy but not too sweet.  I really like to have one with a coffee,  these truffles are one of my favourite products from Hotel Chocolat.  This is a really good Easter Egg and Truffles.

Each 490gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  The pack contains 20 truffles and a Chocolate Egg in two halves.  Sold in Hotel Chocolat.  I bought mine on line and paid £20 half price in the sale.

Moo Free Dairy Free Easter Egg

Vegan Easter Egg

An organic dairy free vegan Easter Egg from Moo Free Chocolates.   The easter egg is really sweet and is close to the flavour of real milk chocolate ( as I remember it). It is great that you can have a dairy free Easter Egg, but you do pay a bit more for it.  The egg is 100grams and you pay £3.99,  you can get a Cadburys similar size one made with dairy for £2.   But I do think that the egg is worth the extra money as the costs for a small company to manufacture are far higher than a giant like Cadburys,  so I really appreciate Moo Free for making something for vegans and dairy intolerant people.  I also like their chocolate buttons that I reviewed earlier.

Each 100gram Easter Egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Vegan Society Approved.  Lactose and Dairy Free,  Gluten and Wheat Free, Organic.  Per 100grams is 585kcal.  I bought mine in an independent health food shop.
