There are so many amazing vegan options for chocolate. This is another one of my favourite brands. Plamil have a range of non-dairy options to choose from and are available from many health food shops. This is definitely my favourite bar (so far) from this brand as it is mint flavoured which is a personal favourite of mine. The chocolate is dark and decadent and the mint flavour is delicious. I have always been a fan of mint chocolate so this is perfect. You also only need a small amount of it as it is so rich so this bar is perfect to share or eat over a few days. That's the great thing about vegan chocolate you eat less as it is so rich in flavour so it lasts longer and is healthier than eating lots of milk chocolate which doesn't have the same high quality and intense flavour. I recommend this brand as they have a wide range of products. Check out the range here: https://www.plamilfoods.co.uk/chocolate

Vegan Baileys made with Almond Milk

Baileys is jumping on the Vegan bandwagon with this vegan version of the popular drink made with Almond Milk. This looks like a nice product, I've never tried Baileys but I know it is a popular drink, especially around Christmas, and this newest vegan product will be great news to some people. 

The fact that a popular brand has made a vegan drink shows how veganism is becoming more mainstream. Almond milk is a great choice as it will give the drink a nice flavour, although hopefully in the future they will make versions with other types of non dairy milk for anyone with allergies. 

I love the bottle design as it stands out and is not going to be mixed up with the non-vegan drink. It is not specifically targeted at vegans either but shown to be dairy and gluten free so I think this will appeal to a wider audience. 

I'm not a big drinker and hardly drink alcohol at all but I like that there are more options for vegans. Hopefully this drink will be available in bars and restaurants. It looks like it would make an amazing gift and would be a nice addition in baking- Bailey's cake, cupcakes, or even Bailey's buttercream, I could go on. Look out for this in the shops, let's hope it is widely available and more brands follow suit by making vegan options. 

Booja Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles

Booja Booja is a brand which I have reviewed before, I love the high quality products and the beautiful packaging and design. This brand is definitely my go to place for gifts as you know you will get something beautiful that anyone will love whether vegan or not.

These Champagne truffles are another amazing product from Booja Booja, they are delicious and filling with a beautiful taste from the champagne. As with other chocolates I have tried from Booja Booja a little goes along way and the rich taste means you don't end up eating the whole box in one go, making them perfect to share or eat over a few days. 

It is clear to see that this is a luxury brand. The packaging is beautiful, making it a wonderful gift. Who wouldn't want to open this chocolate box up. 

I love the little message that comes with the chocolates, what a lovely idea. I think these might be different in every box, that's a good excuse to buy more! 

I love that fact that Booja Booja products are made in a completely dairy free environment, this is a vegan company who obviously put a lot of love and thought into their products. Everything is well thought out and looks amazing. The chocolates, along with all their products, are also organic which is great for anyone living and organic lifestyle, you don't have to give up chocolate to be healthy. 

When you finally get to the chocolate truffles, you feel like you deserve a chocolate. These look almost too good to eat. Almost. They were simply delicious and the champagne was a nice addition. Another amazing product from Booja Booja. 

Sea Dog Chocolate

Another day another discovery of vegan chocolate. One of my favourite foods in the world and there are just so many vegan options! I liked the look of this Sea Dog chocolate I saw in the supermarket as the brand (Montezumas) has a range of unusual flavours like this Lime and Sea Salt bar. I love the packaging and the fact that it is a British company so you are supporting a local brand. It also uses minimal ingredients which is also a bonus and could be an interesting option to use in baking as it would give your desserts an interesting flavour. This was found in the supermarket along with all the other bars of chocolate, this shows how vegan options are becoming more popular and mainstream. A lot of the time the vegan chocolate is separate in the 'free from' isle so it is nice to see a vegan choice along with all the other options. This is another option for when you are out shopping. It does not clearly state it is vegan on the front so it may be a brand you've never heard of. Enjoy!

Beech's Chocolates

I got these amazing chocolates as a birthday present. They are Pineapple flavoured creams covered in dark chocolate and are an amazing vegan find. 

I had never heard of this brand and was excited to try them. They are delicious, the flavour is nice but not overpowering and they come in a lovely box making it a perfect gift. 

I was impressed with the packaging and the taste of these chocolates. I am happy to have found another vegan product. Beech's make a range of chocolates not all of them are vegan but they do have many other vegan flavours to try and a dedicated vegan section on their website which makes it easy to find suitable products.

Vegan Candles

Veganism is definitely a lifestyle, it is not only about what you eat but what you buy. If you avoid animal products in food you should avoid them in any other item. Candles were not something I considered until I went to a vegan festival and found these amazing Soya wax candles. I will now not buy beeswax candles especially when the alternative is so amazing. These candles look and smell beautiful, this love and peace candle is scented with essential oils that will make you feel relaxed and happy. You know you are a real vegan when even your candles aren't made with animal products! 

Vegan Easter- Some dairy free options for the Easter holidays

Easter is up there with the best holidays. Getting to eat an unnatural amount of chocolate without people becoming concerned for your health. That's my kind of holiday.

Vegan Easter Eggs are easily available so you can celebrate in style. Moo Free have a great range of Easter eggs, available in a variety of flavours you will be spoilt for choice.

The accidentally vegan Green and Black's Easter egg is one for lovers of dark chocolate. This luxury egg makes the perfect gift. And it's fair trade too, you can feel good while you eat your body weight in chocolate.

Choices have a huge range of dairy free chocolates from Easter eggs to chocolate bunny's you'll be spoilt for choice with this brand.

The Easter egg I am most excited about is the Kinnerton Easter egg, the chocolate bars are amazing for cooking so I'm sure the Easter egg will be delicious. 

Celtic is a brand I haven't heard of before but I am happy to see this Easter egg in the supermarkets, dairy free choices are becoming easier to find and this treat looks lovely. 

If you are looking for a bit of luxury Booja Booja have not disappointed with their options for Easter, the beautifully wrapped Eggs are almost too good to eat. Almost! These would make amazing gifts. 

As always you are spoilt for choice in the dairy free options. Going vegan doesn't mean missing out and it certainly doesn't mean you don't have options. The hard part is deciding which Easter egg pick. Happy shopping!
