Product Information

Choccy Eggsplosion egg. A dairy-free white and ‘milk’ chocolate egg with vegan marshmallows and chocolate chips in it! Despite this, there is little evidence of significant progress. There are still estimated to be about two million children working on cocoa farms in West Africa. There is particularly profound concern about it because it is such hazardous work; cocoa pods are split with machetes, toxic chemicals are used, and the children carry extremely heavy loads. Injuries are extremely common. Montezuma’s have quite a few vegan chocolate options and they have three vegan Easter eggs this year: If you like your vegan chocolate sweet and creamy then look out for these melt-in-the-mouth vegan milk chocolate eggs this Easter. 1. H!P Salty Pretzel Oat M!lk Chocolate Easter Egg Two companies - Mondelez and Nestle - get our worst rating for palm oil for using unsustainable palm oil.

Gluten-free: Yes but it may contain trace amounts as it is not manufactured in a dedicated gluten facility We have only included two supermarket brands on the score table above - Co-op and Tesco - because these are the only two that have all the cocoa that they use in their own brand Easter eggs certified. Co-op chocolate is Fairtrade certified and Tesco chcolate is Rainforest Alliance. While being born out of the desire to eat good quality chocolate, H!P also ensures that it creates only good for the planet, too. It’s an acquired taste - and we stand by that - but of those who’ve tried it, few can ever return to conventional chocolate once they’ve gone over to the dark side. Mission: Recyclable

Hands down, this chocolate will test your limits, for sure. For me, it's right up there at the extremes of what I enjoy. It's more palatable than some other 100% chocolates I have tasted, but I can only enjoy tiny bites, little and often (which is perhaps why it's a hit with dieters?). This Easter, the brand has transformed its popular Maldon salt chocolate bar into a delectable handmade dark chocolate Easter egg. Take a look at our full range of Easter chocolate gifts and treats for even more eco-friendly Easter eggs! It’s our signature vegan chocolate and it’s what we use in our range of vegan Easter eggs and treats. Discover our Vegan Easter Eggs The cocoa itself is sourced from farms where farmers are treated ethically and the planet is cared for. The farming abides by Montezuma’s philosophy prioritises positive social impact as well as sustainable practices.

As much as we’d love to take credit for inventing the vegan Easter egg - vegan chocolate has actually been around for thousands of years. In fact, the chocolate that the Mayans and Aztecs were savouring at the height of their empires was exclusively dairy-free dark chocolate, so right from the start chocolate was vegan. Tell that to the next person who says that you’re “missing out” on “real” chocolate. Not until the late 19th century did milk chocolate arrive on the scene. And if you’ve been subjected to one of those super-sweet, cloying and additive-filled bars that sit next to the crisps in the corner shop, you’ll know that the Mayans and the Aztecs had the right idea about what makes good chocolate. Why do we eat chocolate eggs at Easter? H!P’s oat milk-based milk chocolate contains 41% cocoa so is richly flavoured and superbly smooth. The egg itself is generously studded throughout with pieces of pretzel that give it a wonderful crunchy texture. The addition of sea salt accentuates the flavours of the chocolate, enhancing the cocoa flavour beautifully.Easter eggs have been one of my favourite traditions since I was a child. Even at the grand old age of 30 I still treat myself to one every year. Does anyone else feel like Easter egg chocolate just tastes better than regular chocolate? I don’t know if it’s just the shape, the time of year, or if they make a specific, special type of chocolate for Easter Eggs but they just taste so much better! It’s an incredibly smooth milk chocolate that melts beautifully in your mouth. The first hit you get is definitely coconut, which gives way to leave a lingering taste of cacao. This is not the usual chocolate that’s reserved for kids. It’s really, really good. Their travels took them through Argentina, Chile and Venezuela and they stumbled upon San Carlos de Bariloche, an entire town dedicated to chocolate. At just 25% sugar content, I expected to find quite a dark and intense chocolate, with a reasonable degree of bitterness.

Using rice milk instead of milk and coconut oil instead of palm oil (which is environmentally unsustainable), we were able to produce a 24% dark chocolate bar that was so creamy and smooth that it’s almost impossible to believe that no cows were involved at any point in production. Not only do we offer dark vegan chocolate, but we also have our wonderfully creamy vegan milk chocolate alternative, Like No Udder. Our wonderful creation that’s as possibly close as you can get to milk chocolate without going near a cow! Made from 58% FairTrade cocoa encased in a crunchy sugar shell, this delicious treat is great for people of all ages. pebble’s verdict: The range has become popular amongst vegans, those counting calories, and those looking for satisfying chocolate treats without refined sugars. This single-ingredient dark chocolate egg contains just 3% natural sugars, so brace yourself for an intense hit. As you’ll see from the list above, there are plenty of options when it comes to dairy-free Easter eggs! You’ll find pretty much all of them in some supermarkets in the UK, but what own-brand Easter Eggs do the supermarkets have to offer this year? Let’s take a look.Our delicious vegan Easter eggs are sustainably made without dairy, lactose or palm oil. No matter what type of chocolate you prefer, we have the best vegan Easter eggs anywhere online!

Cocoa can only be grown in tropical countries, and it is almost entirely grown by smallholders. The bulk of production is in West Africa, with Ivory Coast – the biggest exporter – producing 43% of the world’s supply. Ghana is in second place, and produces about 20%. We have given extra Product Sustainability points on our score tables to brands that are 100% organic, Fairtrade, UTZ, Rainforest Alliance.
