3. Deliciously Ella Creamy Vegan Chocolate
Of all the chocolate we tried, this bar certainly wins the prize for creamiest. It’s made with just four plant-based ingredients; coconut sugar, cacao nibs, cashews and cocoa butter. Yet somehow it tastes exactly like the big name milk chocolate we all know and love. It’s pure happiness chocolate, meant to be enjoyed with a cup of tea.
We did notice that, in the ingredients list, there’s no origin for the cocoa used. Real chocolate connoisseurs may prefer to choose bars which state where the cocoa is from.
4. Prodigy Roasted Hazelnut Chocolate
Say hello to our new favourite chocolate brand. The good people at Prodigy are creating chocolate which is free from dairy, refined sugar, palm oil and gluten but still gives you that satisfying ‘mmm’ feeling with every bite.
We were practically cheering with delight when we tried the hazelnut bar. Creamy, chocolatey and smooth with a touch of saltiness – and a generous whole roasted hazelnut in every chunk. Prodigy bars feel like a proper treat but they actually have 65% less sugar than regular bars, thanks to clever ingredients like lucuma (which is bursting with vitamins) and inulin (a member of the dandelion family).
They have plenty more flavours to try, like chocolate orange with baobab and chewy coconut.
