The dark chocolate has been made with skilfully harvested cocoa beans from Kuapa Kokoo, a fair trade co-operative of loud-and-proud smallholder farmers in Ghana.
Missing After Eight’s chocolate? Crave no more, Divine’s Mint Thins are here to comfort you. Vegans rejoice: these are a plant-based alternative to the original After Eights (Photo: Accidentally Vegan UK) 6. Hotel Chocolat Treats The pinnacle of Penicillium roqueforti’s many great achievements, this is an absolute classic – wonderfully creamy with a subtle hint of blue and a long, lingering sweetness. If stilton is the king of cheeses, this is undoubtedly the king of kings. Delicately thin Divine dark chocolate squares filled with a soft mint centre that melts on the tongue when you break the chocolate. Decadent, and delicious. It is clementine oil that infuses these buttery shortbread rounds with the pure essence of Christmas, and although the citrussy punch won’t be to everyone’s tastes (my girlfriend insists they taste like pith), I’m delighted by it. Oats and candied citrus add texture.
Milk Chocolate w/ Caramel & Sea Salt Crispy Thins
There were some high-end offerings in the sample we tasted, but this was the clear winner. The texture is close to perfect, not at all slippery or greasy. There is a depth to the cure that delivers flavour, rather than saltiness, and it is just smokey enough. A terrific product. These peppermint and coconut creams are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. 3. Asda’s fruit pastilles Tamal Ray with his favourite Christmas cake from the taste testing. Photograph: Christopher Thomond/The Guardian Satin smooth, with a delicate, almost floral sweetness and just a hint of sweet spice, this is a port to savour, rather than glug down merrily over Trivial Pursuit. Elegant and utterly delicious. There comes a time when even the most whole-food plant-based vegan craves something sweet and dirty; unhealthy, delectable, and yummy sweets to satisfy your needs.
Well, this is definitely one of the more original-looking cakes. I have a colleague at work who swears that a piece of Christmas cake topped with a slice of cheddar is the height of festive gastronomy. The long, rectangular shape of this one would make for easy slicing for cheddar cake sandwiches. It’s stamped with Christmas words in various red fonts that I suppose are meant to look chic, but they just make it look a bit unfriendly. It’s very solid to cut into, which only adds to the idea that its true destiny lies in construction, rather than digestion. Uniquely, it is slightly salty in flavour, which is rather nice with its treacly, citrus sweetness. Biscuits These chocolate and orange-covered puffed rice cake bars are vegan; and 98 calories each!

Crispy Thins Variety Pack
That’s why I deemed it necessary to compile a list of comfort foods you didn’t know were vegan (and palm oil-free) – exclusively for your sweet tooth. 1. Aldi’s Cacao Brownie Bars Brownies? Yes, please! Aldi’s Almond and Raisin Brownie Bars are the stuff that dreams are made of – and they’re vegan! 2. Jameson’s Peppermint Ruffles I’m more of a milk chocolate man myself. Put it down to my age – a Galaxy was the last word in sophistication in the early 1960s – but high cocoa, single-cru chocolates have never really hit the spot. I know I’m meant to be in awe of their superiority, but they always seem to be a bit disappointing. Verging on inedible. But everyone needs a sharpening hit of dark chocolate from time to time and, in the absence of any After Eights – another of my all-time favourites – these Divine mint thins are a more than respectable substitute. What’s more, they are made with Fair Trade chocolate, so you can eat them with a clean conscience. Port Divine chocolate is made with the finest quality Fairtrade cocoa beans from Kuapa Kokoo, a co-operative of smallholder farmers in Ghana. The cocoa is grown in the shade of the tropical rainforest, and slowly fermented and dried in the sun by the farmers, who take great pride in the chocolate company they co-own.
About the Manufacturer: A fair trade, ethical chocolate brand, Divine is a Certified B Corp meaning it is better for communities, workers, and the environment Made using Fairtrade cocoa and sugar, no palm oil or soya, 100% pure cocoa butter, and only natural flavours and ingredients.
