Vegan Chocolate

[oldsilverhead]

Whether the sourcing of their ingredients has changed or not every time you purchase a Green and Blacks products you are supporting Cadburys whose trade is far from fair.

Being an ethical consumer does not mean one can avoid all unethical purchases as this is not possible but if we make ethical choices where they are available then this is preferable.

Has anyone else had the large box of assorted centre chocolates from Animal Aid? They used to have a purple bow on the lid, now it's green I think. I ordered some for someone's Christmas present but they were late arriving (though I never usually have to wait long for my orders from them, think they just forgot to include them in the package) so I got the person something else...and ate the whole box of chocs myself when they eventually turned up! :o Couldn't help myself - they have such gorgeous flavours, and the vanilla one is to die for! :D

When I was at Whole Foods a few weeks ago, I noticed that they had bulk dark chocolate chips. The label didn't show any animal products in it, but I had a manager verify that they didn't. Luckily, they ended up Vegan (and they plan to label them that way now). So, I have a source for fairly inexpensive chocolate chips.

I'm planning on making my own assortment of dipped candies for Valentines day using the vegan chocolate chips that I bought. If I succeed, I'll post recipes and instructions.

No way!!! dairy free toffee??!!:eek::eek: Was it nice. Im getting some tomorrow if it is. I loved toffee.

[Blueshark]

It was good, quite chewy and sweet. Only bought it once, when I was living up in Manchester last year.

Never seen it since :confused:

[Tigerlily]

send Me Some Asap.

[Blueshark]

I will have a look for it, but if it is not in my local Aldi, it doesnt really matter. It must be made a European company, and it does exist!

So it will be found again..by someone....somewhere..I hope :cool:

Outrageous. You must now make it your mission to track this down immediately. You cant announce something like that then tell us its no longer available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Have a heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blueshark]

My heart will be as cold as a moonstone, if that precious toffee does not touch my lips again...so I have no choice :p

[tabitha]

I will buy 20 packets if they have it at Aldi and send one to each of you.:)

Vegan Toffee

1 1/2lb (680 g) raw cane sugar
2 oz (55 g) ground almonds
1 oz (30 g) Vegan margarine
1/4 pint (140 ml) soya milk


Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, and heat gently whilst stirring continually until the mixture comes to the boil. Continue boiling and stirring over a medium heat for about 7 minutes.
Remove from the heat and beat the mixture until it thickens.
Pour into a well greased shallow tin and smooth the top with a knife. Leave to cool, marking into squares before it sets hard. Break into individual pieces when cold.

Thats a lot of sugar :eek:

I too should stay away from the chocolates Puffin. It all accumulates at the rear.:mad:

I think Catmogg is the only one here who can take any amounts of sugar. You should see her gobbling chocolates. She will even kill for them!:rolleyes:
