:drool: I have checked out a website called www.hotelchocolat.co.uk (a company based in watford haha..) and they do a section of vegan chocs and i am not talking boojabooja, all nutty flavours and all gorgeous although expensive I have tried them and thought i had gone to heaven. they do others like a kirsch soaked cherries which apparently have no dairy products in the ingredients but aren't considered vegan have just ordered some so will get back to you on that

I have used them in the past but not for dairy free although I have often been tempted. mainly used them for pressies as they are good for that. Good call Katey
This site is way too expensive for my bank balance, I don't think they have anything for under £10. I'll stick with the small box of Booja Booja from my local health food shop I think.

I think I have gone mad when I buy G & B chocolate :)
I've just had some lovely dairy free organic truffles :drool: Bought them from a shop in the town centre yesterday, along with some dark chocolate brazil nuts, delicious! I've never had truffles before but these were nice and gooey in the middle and tasty, am glad I was only bought two otherwise I'd be feeling exceedinly sick!! I got 4 chocolate for just under £1.30, which I didn't think was too bad? They do boxes of 18 chocolate for £6.95 and they come in a nice presentation box, so the prices seem really reasonable!!Had a look on their website and they say they'll cater for special request so a nice box of dark chocolates and marzipans would I assume be ok. They had mango and oranges in dark chocolate as well, plus a huge range of marzipan treats!!
http://www.zednet.co.uk/chocolatehouse/index.html isn't much info, just prices for selection boxes really, but the shop assistant was very helpful.

ENJOY :naughty: I'll have to check that shop out next time I go to my parents in the summer.
I have just been to Waitrose and spent a fortune on treats, do I feel guilty - no not really. Lots of things to try inclucing some new ones. I bought the village bakery brownies I nearly bought 4 packets to see me through to the end of Hampton Court but I am worried they may set me off because the chestmut flour will be high in salicylates. And an old favourite kippers for breakfast.
That's not bad, Booja Booja are £3.69 at least for 80g (main flavours) or £4.99 for 150g (champagne). It's a shame they don't put the varieties available and dairy free suitability on the site. Hope you enjoy them.
They were very good!! I assume with the website that you could contact them and say you only want the dairy free varieties- so the marzipan and dark chocolate, plus the truffles, and I couldn't see it being a problem, its not a huge shop and to turn away trade like that would be madness :)
