Dairy free/soya free chocolate

Several flavours of dairy free/soya free chocolate available from health food shops or Goodness Foods Direct. I've had the orange one and thought it was quite nice and their non-organic mint one is ok so the organic should be good.

Hope this helps someone (I picked up the info elsewhere).

Thanks for that. My 4 year old is soya free as well and has tried the Plamil Expressions bar and liked but I wasn't aware they did a range of bars - think she would probably like the mint one as well and a couple of others possibly. Have a good health food shop which has just opened up near us so will see if they can get these other varieties ordered in.

Also useful because was going to try to melt Plamil and use to fill normal advent calender and notice from their website there are several recipes with melted choc in them so must now have a go

Incidentally, saw a good recipe posted on this site a few weeks ago now for a vegan choc cake which looked yummy but cant seem to buy the creamed coconut anywhere - supermarkets dont seem to stock - does anyone know where I can get this from?

think i've seen the coconut cream in tesco's not that it helps much sorry. best bet is to find larger health food shop they tend to be much more helpfull and will order stuff in. if it's what i think it is it comes in a carton not tin.

on a different note, found a packet of individual ruffle sweets (raspberry) in a martins newsagent. same as the bars but smaller and lots of them. 200g for 1.40

just for everyones benefit.

In Morrisons the coconut cream is near the chinese ingredients on the ethnic food aisle. You can get coconut milk, liquid cream or blocks of coconut that have to be disolved. So try looking around the chinese/indian ingredients or have a look near the baking ingredients (it might be with the dessicated coconut).

was in tesco's yesterday. they have a "finest" plain choc bar with orange bits that would appear to be dairy free.

then in a newsagents i found a small box of sweets called poppets little balls of either mint or orange with plain choc 40p. didn't buy any so can't recommend just letting you all know.

Were they Paynes Poppets? I used to eat them when I was a kid, I didn't know they still made them. I'll have a look for them next time I go shopping. Thanks!
