Prefer dark chocolate without the dairy? There are plenty of offerings out there. We also assessed each product's Health Star Rating – although, being chocolate, none of them scored particularly well in this respect!īut you'll be pleased to know that taste accounted for 90% of each product's score – since taste is the most important factor when it comes to chocolate! They judged each product on its aroma, texture, flavour and appearance. They tasted each chocolate 'blind', which means they didn't know what brand they were tasting – and they didn't know which products were dairy-free or not, so the vegan products had a fair go. Our experts are all highly regarded chocolate connoisseurs who have decades of experience between them. We set four chocolate experts the unfortunate task of tasting 24 milk/m*lk chocolates and 37 dark chocolates to see which ones they rated the best. How did we choose the best tasting vegan chocolate? So we reveal the best tasting plant-based 'milk' chocolates and dark chocolates from our expert taste test – and how they compare with non-vegan products. They didn't know which products were vegan and which weren't, so they were judged on an even playing field.

We threw several dairy-free curveballs into our dark and milk chocolate taste tests to keep our judges on their toes.

But what's the best way to satisfy your chocolate cravings? With the plant-based food market expanding rapidly, there are now plenty of options for vegans (and flexitarians) seeking a sugar rush.
