Vegan Easter Eggs and Gift Ideas (2015)

Even at work – where no one is intending to get me a gift for Easter – I get asked about vegan chocolate quite a lot. Does it exist? Is the main one. But also can vegans eat chocolate? comes up quite a lot. My answer is usually just a confused “…yes?”. So, for those who are also faced by confused friends, family and general acquaintances, I rounded up a collection of dairy free, vegan Easter eggs that we can all point to and say: “look!”! And also “that one please!”

(I’ll be pointing at the Almond & Sea Salt Booja Booja Truffles, the Plamil Bunny and maybe even the Hotel Chocolate Hard Boiled [Chocolate] Eggs…)

 ‘Milk Chocolate’ Vegan Easter Eggs

Milk chocolates…. childhood favourite, but also one of the rarer Vegan chocolates! Don’t worry though – they do exist, but they tend to be a little more expensive than more common (dairy-based) treats.
