This vegan chocolate is indistinguishable from real chocolate

hands off vegan (1)

We’re always happy to see new chocolate bars on the shelves. Especially when they turn out to be damn delicious, are made with traceable cocoa (so you know where and by whom the cocoa is produced) and packaged sustainably, because that’s good for chocolate lovers and the environment. The new chocolate bars from Hands Off My Chocolate have it all and, surprisingly enough, are vegan too!

Missing chocolate when you eat only plant-based? Not at all! There are dozens of bars, not only dark but also milk and white, that are vegan. The same goes for the new bars from Hands Off My Chocolate, which are worth trying even for non-vegans and chocolate lovers (like me!).

Three flavours

A vegan chocolate bar must be less tasty is something many people think. Hands Off My Chocolate decided to prove the opposite and got to work on a new bar with the Netherlands’ favourite chocolate flavour: sea salt caramel. Because the chocolate is made with rice milk and hazelnut praline, the bar is wonderfully creamy—and you can taste it!

Besides the vegan Caramel Seasalt, there is also the dark Oat Cookies & Caramel (deliciously crunchy!) and a Seriously Dark variant consisting of 85% cocoa. Seriously Dark was actually always vegan, so its recipe has not changed—only the packaging has.

Guaranteed delicious

Hands Off promises that the vegan Caramel Seasalt is just as delicious as the ‘regular’ caramel sea salt bars from competing chocolate brands. To underline this, the chocolate brand is launching a cash-back promotion. That means that if you don’t like the new vegan flavour after all (believe me: unlikely), you can request your money back on the website.
