Who doesn’t like chocolate? For most of us, chocolate is synonymous with joy – it releases endorphins after all – and Valentine’s Day around the corner, what better excuse is there to stock up on cacao-heavy treats? With many people opting to ditch the dairy for all kinds of reasons, from eco anxiety to higher energy, hormone issues to clearer skin, we’ve created the ultimate list of vegan chocolate so you can enjoy something sweet on February 14.
