Vegans and non-dairy consumers often find themselves limited to bitter dark chocolate, but innovative plant-based brands like Fellow Creatures craft delicious milk chocolate alternatives that deliver on creaminess without dairy. The brand's 100% plant-based chocolate makes the most of ingredients like cane sugar, cacao beans, cacao butter and nuts in its ethically sourced, gluten-free, palm oil-free vegan Swiss chocolates.
Standout varieties include Matcha White Chocolate made with finely ground, richly pigmented matcha powder and lemon oil to balance its earthy taste, and the savory-sweet Salted Caramel or Creamy Hazelnut Chocolate for fans of chocolate with crunchy bits.
Consumers are increasingly open to exploring indulgent, animal-free alternatives to traditional milk chocolate, recognizing that milk is not essential for creating deliciously satisfying treats.
