This dairy free chocolate company makes the best vegan chocolate on the planet and you can order it online for UK delivery.
The company has shared news that it might become difficult to locate their products in coming weeks due to the major supermarkets cutting down on non-essential stock refills.
Of course the joke I need to make here is that vegan chocolate is essential!
The entire range of vegan chocolates, including their incredible vegan Easter eggs, are online for you to buy directly.
I need to make special mention of the White Strawberry Hamster. How good does this sound?!
All of their regular chocolate bars are available plus a gorgeous Easter pack featuring eggs and bars.
Did I mention there is free shipping for all orders over £10? How easy is it to spend £10 on chocolates?!
Moo Free has been named “Most Ethical Dairy Free Manufacturer” at the 4th annual Food & Drink Awards hosted by LUXlife.
The family owned, UK based free-from manufacturer, which was founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Mike and Andrea Jessop, scooped the award in recognition of its hard work in ensuring all aspects of the business are based on the highest ethical standards.
All of the organisation’s chocolates are organically certified and vegan certified meaning that you can be sure that no animals were harmed during the manufacturing process. Each product is made using natural, high quality ingredients including single origin, organic cocoa mass from plantations in the Dominican Republic.
What’s more, Moo Free’s factories send zero waste to landfill and none of its chocolates are made using any animal derived products. And because all of the company’s chocolates are made from raw ingredients in its own free-from factories, they are 100% dairy free, gluten free and soya free.
Moo Free believes that everyone should be treated equally and this is reflected in its work force. Men and women are paid equally, relative to their role and skill level, while the organisation works with several charities to provide employment for people who have difficulties finding a job and as a result around 20% of its workforce is autistic.
This was one of Mike and Andrea’s key motivations when they founded Moo Free and their goal moving forward is to set up a charity to help support children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and their parents. These children often desperately need a diagnosis in order to receive the educational and emotional support they deserve, while their parents often need support, advice and a shoulder to lean on.
Mike and Andrea said:
We would like to thank all of our amazing staff and everyone who works with us that helps us to maintain our high ethical standards. A big thank you must also go to our wonderful customers and supporters, we couldn’t do it without you! When our customers buy our chocolates they are making a difference to so many lives. It enables us to help support and employ lots of wonderful people, many with ASD, in an area where opportunities are limited.
In addition to all of the above, Moo Free is one of the chocolate brands recommended by Food Empowerment Project’s Chocolate List. This list helps consumers locate companies not sourcing their chocolate from child labour and unfair working conditions.

If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen me post quite a number of times about No Whey Foods.
This US company makes some of my all-time favourite candy and chocolate products.
It is difficult to get my hands on these products when I am in the UK, so it is good news to my ears to find out that No Whey has started selling online via Amazon.
The three products available right now are shown below, with more to come over weeks and months.
And in even better news, the candies above are available as lots of three. Yes, you order three packets at a time!
Click here to visit the No Whey product page on Amazon.
Extra note: some of these products are also starting to show up in independent vegan grocery stores and online shops around the UK. Please make it a priority to support these businesses before shopping with Amazon if you can.
Extra extra note: I have just realised that No Whey are in the ‘can’t recommend’ section of the Food Empowerment Project chocolate list. This list documents responses from companies related to their ethical and fair trade chocolate practices. You can see the full list online here.
Great news for one of our regular Hackney Downs Vegan Market traders.
The Well-Bean Company is a thoughtful vegan chocolate company that is not only lessening demand for animal products, but also raising funds and awareness for mental wellbeing initiatives.
And they just won three awards at the Newham Business Awards 2018!
Well-Bean founder Charlie just told me:
We won three awards! We were awarded Sole Trader of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year (I assume being in my 30s means I am still young?) AND Business of the Year. Most the evening was spent with shocked faces and tears. We then went on to Brighton chocolate festival where BIG brand bean to bar makers highlighted our chocolate as some of the best at the event. It has been an incredible time.
I am thrilled and rather quite emotional to see Charlie and Well-Bean get this recognition. They are a good company in every sense of the word and it is always a proud moment to see one of our market traders get positive attention.
If you want to support The Well-Bean Company and help them celebrate their awards, get along to Hackney Downs Vegan Market this Sunday October 21, 2018 where they will be selling their gorgeous vegan chocolates.

Fliss’s Fancy is not just a online shop where you can order tasty delights, it is also a way for owner Emma to have a meaningful way to remember her daughter who passed away.
Let’s hear from Emma:
I set up my business in September after making a few treats for my husband’s uncle who is a vegan. I was dairy free at the time. After losing my daughter, I didn’t want to put any animals or humans through what I went through. After learning more and more about the industry, I am now vegan myself and feel so much better for it.
I set my business up in memory of my daughter Felicity. I’ve sold at the West Midlands Vegan Festival and I’m looking into appearing at a few more events next year. I sell mostly online and have enjoyed amazing feedback from people who are shocked that they taste the ‘same’ if not better than dairy versions.
I was donating my money I got from the business to our Just Giving page as we had been in the media because of what happened to our daughter (hospital negligence). We’ve now raised that money so I will now be looking at sending a percentage of money I make to charities. This week I’ve donated to the Lullaby Trust.
You can order Emma’s treat at her online shop and follow her business on Instagram.
Before you head off to another part of the Internet, let’s look at some photos of her food.
