And it's not just the dark and bitter chocolates that are on the list.
If you're looking for a completely safe way to show your affection this Valentine's Day, you simply can't go wrong with carefully selected chocolate. Fortunately, we have done all the hard work to bring you this definitive list of the best dairy-free and vegan chocolates that is perfect for February 14th.
It may surprise you that most dark chocolates are naturally dairy-free and vegan. After all, chocolate in its purest form is simply made from cocoa beans found in ripe cocoa pods and sugar. It is only when you add additional ingredients (like powdered milk or marshmallows) that it becomes unsuitable for those who are lactose intolerant or who avoid dairy products.
It's not just the bitter, 100 percent cocoa varieties that are on the list, however. It is also possible to indulge in "milk" chocolate, with the dairy replacing coconut, soy, and nuts among others, all of which can result in an impossibly creamy style that one would not believe is milk-free . When we put our chocolate to the test, we were looking for ethical brands with natural ingredients and minimal packaging.
Our conclusion: vegan and dairy-free Valentine's Day chocolate
For us, you just can't go wrong with the fail-safe Booja Booja, and this gourmet package is sure to be a treat. We were also mightily impressed with the decadent Love Cocoa vegan organic dark chocolate truffles.
