A survey from the largest Vegan Group in the UK reveals the top Five vegan chocolates.
Vegan Food UK shared results from a survey where people voted for the best vegan chocolate. Altogether there were 5959 votes and 129 chocolate nominations.
Chocolate has become rapidly more available for vegans in 2021, and companies are releasing vegan versions of traditional favourites every month. This year, two monumental releases were the Cadbury’s Vegan Plant Bars and Nestlés Vegan Kit Kat. However, the Vegan brand NOMO is still held close to people’s hearts.
1. NOMO Caramel
The UK’s number one vegan chocolate brand is a firm favourite gaining one thousand votes and placing first in the polls. NOMO launched the smooth caramel bar in 2020, and ever since, Vegans nationwide have been obsessed.
Since the release, NOMO has also released caramel drops which are the same as the bar but in small teardrop shapes. These are also available in an advent calendar pyramid.
NOMO say that ‘many vegans and those with a food allergy or intolerance were excluded from mainstream chocolate; alienated from the same options that everyone else could enjoy’. This is why NOMO chocolate is not only dairy-free but also Nut-free.
