Vegan Chocolate: how is it made?

Normally, milk, butterfat or other milk solids are added to regular chocolates but in this case they have been replaced with plant based substitutes such as almond milk, soy milk and oat milk amongst others. The main ingredients usually include cocoa beans; sugar and non-dairy milks like those made from almonds or soya beans.

Benefits of Vegan Chocolate

Healthy Ingredients: Vegan chocolates often contain fewer processed components which can make them lower in fat and calories than typical chocolates. They also tend to be more antioxidant rich due to the fact that only pure cacao is used.
