1. H!P Creamy Original Oat M!lk Chocolate
Still relatively new to the healthy chocolate market, H!P vegan bars have been causing quite a sensation since their launch in 2021. With silky smooth chocolate, a range of fabulous flavours and plastic-free packaging, it’s easy to see why.
We tried (and loved) them all but the Creamy Original is hard to beat. Made using oat milk and 41% single origin Colombian cocoa, this bar is easily as satisfying as milk chocolate from big name brands. The oats lend a nutty, biscuity flavour which is wonderfully moreish. And we were very happy to learn that H!p bars require 220 litres less water to make than dairy.
2. Hotel Chocolat 85% Dark Chocolate Batons
Since 2004, Hotel Chocolat have been leading the way in the world of chocolate by using ethically sourced cacao to make luxury bars. Their 85% Dark Batons have an intensely chocolatey flavour with a luxurious finish and no bitterness. And, as there’s no milk used to make the dark chocolate, these are totally vegan.
They are more expensive than supermarket brands, but you get what you pay for with quality and, as the chocolate is so rich and decadent, you really only need one to feel satisfied. We think they would be lovely served at the end of a vegan dinner party.
