Need a quick chocolate fix?
Drop into your nearest Co-operative supermarket for a bag of these cocoa butter and rice flour chocolate buttons.
They are gorgeous.
Tasty and only 49p!

Vegan chocolate bars
I don’t really enjoy teasing with food photos from a country you might not live in, but I just can’t help sharing these delights.
Check out these stunning candy bars I picked up in a Whole Foods Market store in Los Angeles yesterday.
Who knew Amy’s Kitchen had jumped into the world of sweet treats production? Do be careful with grabbing these in a supermarket though as the range does include some non-vegan bars.
How do we get these in the UK? Try tweeting Amy’s here and here.
New vegan chocolates at Marks & Spencer
A super quick post to let you know about these three new vegan chocolate bars available at UK retail giant Marks & Spencer.
Have you tried them? Are they any good? Any mention of ethically-sourced ingredients? How is the price point?
BIG thanks to Gill for use of this photo.
How much is too much?
I like to buy vegan food and I have the perfect excuse. This blog.
When I see something new in the supermarket, I usually justify the expense by telling myself I have a duty to my readers to share the information.
It is rare for something I want to not end up in my shopping basket and you are all to blame!
But yesterday I hit a wall. Would you pay the asking price for these seasonal chocolates? I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
Chocolate trio
Simple blog post about vegan chocolate.
I ate these three things yesterday.
Do you like what you see? Have you eaten any of the above?
Delicious vegan chocolate
It’s a tough life as a fat, gay vegan. There are so many people wanting to send me vegan chocolate to sample, it’s a tiresome chore.
When Essy & Bella asked if I would take some of their gourmet, handcrafted vegan chocolate to try, I reluctantly agreed. I’m such a selfless person.
Want the quick, time-saving review? Buy Essy & Bella if you enjoy delicious things going into your mouth.
Now for the part where I go on for a little while.
The sunflower seed & sea salt and peppermint & cacao varieties are irresistible. Made with rice powder, they are a milk free version of a milk chocolate.
The peppermint & cacao was my favourite and I would buy it in a heartbeat. It truly was one of those moments where you open a packet and you can’t stop eating.
I don’t think you will currently find Essy & Bella in shops around the country, but fortunately for you the entire range of vegan chocolate bars is available to buy via their website.
Click here to check out all the flavours, including the ridiculously delicious sounding lime and sea salt. I need that so badly.
You can also follow Essy & Bella on Twitter.
Extra note: Essy & Bella are located in Newcastle where vegan stuff is going wild including this restaurant, this vegan cheese company and even the Vegan Roadshow.
Express chocolate
I was racing through Piccadilly Circus Underground station a few days back when my greedy sensibilities got a pleasant shock.
Gorgeous chocolate shop chain Hotel Chocolat now have a mini outlet on the station concourse!
I have written about the many vegan suitable items created and sold by Hotel Chocolat and how over-the-top helpful the workers are when you ask about treats free from animal ingredients. You can read my original blog post here.
The new location inside Piccadilly Circus station is tiny. Check out the photo below and what you see is what you get. It is miniature. The staffer smiling for my shot was excited that I was excited, telling me the store had been opened for the first time ever only half an hour before I snapped the shot.
Buying vegan chocolate on the run in London. I love it!
