These vegan chocolate innovations range from dairy-free Easter egg treats to vegan-friendly frozen dessert bars.
With more consumers embracing a plant-based diet for both health and ethical reasons, confectionary brands are taking notice with artisanal dairy-free offerings that are nutritious without skipping out on taste. Formulated for healthy indulging, standouts include Dirty Cow's small-batch dairy free chocolate bars. The bars are handmade and are specially made for today's "post-milk generation" of consumers. In addition to their natural, vegan ingredients, the chocolate bars are offered in tasty flavors like Cinnamon Churro and Brazillionaire -- each featuring ethically sourced and high quality cacao.
Other vegan chocolate innovations to note include Trader Joe’s Organic Almond Beverage Chocolate Bar. The bar is a fresh twist on a classic milk chocolate bar and swaps dairy with the retailer's almond milk beverage that consists of almond flour and water.
