CRAVE makes vegan-friendly chocolate bars with Cocoa Horizons certified and sustainably sourced cocoa and its products are loaded with texture-rich toppings. The free-from bars are made without gluten, milk, lactose and egg, making them appealing to ingredient-conscious consumers. CRAVE's rice milk chocolate bars are available in varieties like Kitchen Sink, topped with salted fudge, raisins, biscuit pieces, cornflakes and honeycomb, plus Rocky Road, also with raisins and biscuit pieces, as well as marshmallows. With these bars, CRAVE founder Robert Brice explains: "Rather than take away flavor, we’re all about adding as much as possible."
In place of conventional dairy milk, chocolate bars are using plant-based milk alternatives to create rich and creamy textures that appeal to a wide range of chocolate lovers, especially those who are put off by the bitterness of vegan-friendly dark chocolate.
