Vegan chocolate spread
Don’t blame me when you become hopelessly devoted to this product. I’m just the messenger.
Morrisons stock a chocolate hazelnut spread in a jar for just 80p. All of the ingredients are plant-based, however it does carry the ‘might contain traces’ warning with which we are all familiar.
Check it out.
Have you tried this product? Was it tasty? Can you believe I put it back on the shelf without buying?!
Just bought some, as I went to a cinema earlier that was next-door to a Morrison’s & remembered this post (I don;t have that supermarket nearby).
Just tried some: very sweet; nice texture; only 4% cocoa powder / hazelnuts less than that (eg Sarelle is 15% cocoa powder + more dark choc/cocoa mass/cocoa butter & hazelnuts less; unsure about proportions of other, cheaper spreads, such as the Anthony Worrell-Thompson one often in the Poundshops), so not a hugely strong taste. But most pleasant & a good low-cost item.
I suspect I shall use it in desserts such as easy fruit ice-cream (blend frozen fruits, eg mixed berries,;soya milk & a generous heaped tablespoon or more of this).
Just checked & I have a little of the AW-T spread left (11% hazelnuts, 9% cocoa, more oily texture) – this has a more distinct flavour than the Morrison’s one but the latter is still most pleasant tasted alongside & a definite bargain!
Made one of my infrequent trips to Morrisons today & was disappointed to see this product now contains whey. Boo!
