12 Vegan Chocolates Worth Trying

Choosing vegan chocolate is rarely just a matter of finding the word "vegan" on the pack. Shoppers often care about flavour, texture, cocoa intensity, format and how the chocolate fits into everyday treats or special moments. Some prefer a creamy everyday bar, others look for caramel, dark intensity, hazelnut notes or something with more texture.

This guide looks at twelve vegan chocolates available through McGrocer, grouped by the kinds of preferences people usually bring to the basket.

Which vegan chocolates might suit an everyday sweet treat?

Everyday vegan chocolate usually means a creamy, approachable bar that feels familiar rather than experimental. These options work well for regular snacking, lunchboxes or simple moments when you want chocolate without overthinking the choice. Look for a smooth texture and a flavour profile that sits close to traditional milk chocolate. Availability and consistent taste matter more here than novelty.

• NOMO Creamy Choc Bar: A smooth, dairy-free alternative designed to feel close to classic milk chocolate. Suitable for everyday use.
• Rhythm 108 Swiss Vegan Hazelnut Truffle Milk Chocolate Bar: A creamy vegan "m'lk" style bar with a smooth hazelnut truffle character. It offers an approachable, everyday chocolate experience that feels familiar rather than experimental, making it a practical choice for regular snacking.
• NOMO Caramel Chocolate Bar: Combines creamy vegan chocolate with a caramel centre for a slightly more indulgent everyday option.
• Galaxy Vegan Salted Caramel: A full-size bar from a well-known British brand, offering a familiar salted caramel flavour in a dairy-free format.

What if you prefer caramel, crunch or nutty textures?

Some shoppers want more than a plain creamy bar. Texture and added ingredients can make a noticeable difference. Cookie pieces, hazelnut paste or other inclusions change the eating experience and often influence which product feels most satisfying. These options suit people who enjoy contrast between smooth chocolate and something crunchy or nutty.

• Moo Free Cookie Crunch: Combines white-cocoa-style chocolate with cookie pieces for clear texture contrast.
• Vego Classic Hazelnut: A hazelnut-focused bar that delivers a richer, nuttier profile than standard creamy vegan chocolate.

Which vegan chocolates are worth considering if you like dark chocolate?

Dark chocolate appeals to those who prefer higher cocoa intensity and a less sweet profile. Vegan dark options can range from rich 85% bars to very high-cocoa styles. These products suit readers who find everyday creamy bars too mild and want something more intense. Cocoa percentage and overall balance remain the main points to check.

• Divine 85% Dark Chocolate: A high-cocoa dark bar with a smooth, intense flavour profile. Suitable for those who prefer less sweetness.
• Montezuma's Absolute Black: A very high-cocoa option aimed at readers who want a bold, dark chocolate experience.

Are there vegan chocolate options beyond traditional bars?

Not every shopper wants a standard slab. Wafer bars, coconut-coated treats, oat-milk chocolate and snack-style formats offer different experiences. These options work well when you want variety in texture or format, or when a smaller, more playful treat feels more appropriate than a full-size bar. They also help broaden the range of vegan chocolate available for different occasions.

• Buttermilk Coconut Choccy Bar: Combines plant-based chocolate with coconut for a distinct flavour and texture.
• Well & Truly Oat Milk Chocolate: Uses oat milk as the base, offering another approach to creamy vegan chocolate.
• Booja Booja Hazelnut Crunch Truffles: Vegan truffles made with roasted hazelnuts and smooth dark chocolate. Dairy-free, gluten-free and soya-free, they offer a melt-in-the-mouth texture and a more premium, non-bar format for special treats or gifting.
• Deliciously Ella Peanut Butter Caramel Cups: Vegan cups with layers of plant-based caramel, smooth peanut butter and dark chocolate on an oaty base. A smaller, snack-style format that works well when you want something different from a standard chocolate bar.

How should you choose vegan chocolate for your basket?

Start with the style you actually enjoy. If you want something close to everyday milk chocolate, begin with the creamy and caramel options. Prefer intensity? Look at the darker bars. Want texture or a different format? Consider the wafer, coconut, oat-milk or snack-style products. When dietary requirements matter, always check the current packaging for allergens and suitability.
