ARTICLE: TasteTV Gift Guide – 10 Tasty Chocolates for the Vegan

ARTICLE: TasteTV Gift Guide – 10 Tasty Chocolates for the Vegan

The following is a reprint from an article on TasteTV.com What could be a better gift for the vegan in your life than an offering of artisan chocolate? The answer is “nothing.” Fortunately, there are a large number of vegan chocolates that you can enjoy. Most chocolates that are dark tend to be vegan by nature, and of course anything that says “milk” is probably not. Modern chocolatiers also go out of their way to make sure that if they truly want something to be vegan (or GMO free, for example), then all of their ingredients meet this criteria. We’ve taken a sampling of 10 chocolates rated as 4-Stars by the International Chocolate Salon. We recommend you send these gifts quickly, before you eat them.   OUR 4-STAR PICKS Chocolate Calling Chocolate Crunch Bar Solkiki Chocolatemaker Gran Nativo Chocolate Calling Peanut Butter Cups Ex Voto Chocolates and Confections Vegan Passion Fruit in 61% Dark Chocolate Hand Painted Bonbon Aelan Chocolate Makers Malo dark fine chocolate...
