Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
I have just been into my local health food shop and they have just got in the following:
Vegan, Organic, Milk Chocolate.
Described on the pack as Chocolate Coverture Bar.
This is:
Vegan
Organic
Gluten Free
Non GM
Fair Trade Seal
Contains no Soya products either.
It's produced in Switzerland for
Venture Foods Ltd
PO Box 29
Shrewsbury
SY1 1XU
Sorry no web or email details
It cost me £1.59 as a regular to the shop I got to try some as well and I must say it's the best I have tasted ever. :)

Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
Assuming you mean couverture (coverture is quite different ;)), if it's proper stuff it isn't actually chocolate in the true sense of the word. It's created for cooking and has a higher fat content (hopefully cocoa butter, but veg fat in cheaper versions), mainly for coating of items such as truffles.
Do you mind sharing with us the ingrediants list and any percentages included? The trade price from the confectioners wholesalers that i use is approx £3-4 per kilo of non organic/non fair trade dark chocolate couverture, but yours is the first fair trade / organic one i've seen.

Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
It's the blue bar on here I guess. ;)
-
Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
That's the one Gert spot on :)
Mr Fibble the ingredients are
Fairtrade Whole Cane Sugar
Fairtrade Cocoa Butter
Rice Syrup (16%)
Fairtrade Cocoa Mass
Hazelnut
Vanilla Extract
Sea Salt
All in that order
And yes the Chocolate bar does have NUTS unlike the Lemon Drizzle Cake.

Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
Cheers for the ingrediants list. I'm not sure it really is couverture, but will keep my eye out for it and reserve judgement till it's been in my mouth. Interesting that viva says it contains rice milk when it contains rice syrup ;)

Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
Looks like a fantasic product!!
I have tried the Organica chocolate coconut bars and they are gorgeous. I don't know if they sell them in Holland and Barrett??
-
Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
sounds great - the first 'milk' chocolate bar i've seen that's fair trade. i'll have to see if i can get it locally.

Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
I once had a Sainsbury's soya milk chocolate bar and thought it was OK, but nothing amazing.

I do recall the name vaguely :confused: I was definitely more into minstrels. I'm fairly impressed with the snickers/bounty/kitkat alternatives at the vegan store. But maltesers and minstrels definitely need to be found. Hopefully the galaxy one is sorted...if it actually DOES taste like galaxy.

I've had a few of those. Much prefer the rice crackle ones you can get in sainsbury's with the the lilac wrappers.

Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
I am trying to give up chocolate but if i see one of those bars i am getting one :D Oh sod it its not working. Where is the nearest H&B?
I tried some lovely chocolate the other week. It was by Celtic. I have never seen it before until i stubbled upon it in my local shop.

Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
Well they were them after dinner disk type chocolates. It was dark chocolate with minty bits but the chocolate was very smooth with a hint of bitterness. Wow i would never make a food critic ;)

:o Im 34 I went vegan at 19 it was a very long time ago, If my memory is any good I think so, but a lady in th shop who went vegan from veggie 18 months ago said it was close as you'll get in her opinion.
Any how we had some last night and it was top notch stuff. Wins my vote

yeah i've had them and i quite like them, but they're not fair trade or organic which i would prefer.

Re: VEGAN, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
Yes, I've heard about this choc bar too. The Dr Hadwen Trust has just started to sell them. They're not in their mail order catalogue, but you can still call them up to order it (if you are in the UK). They taste really lovely, too.

Re: Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
I'm confused. Doesn't Milk Chocolate mean is HAS to have milk? In the USA it does.

It does in the UK as well. For example for soya milk we can't put 'soya milk' on the packaging we have to say something like 'dairy free alternative to milk'. On the couverture bar it says ' a bar of chocolate couverture using an organic non-dairy alternative to milk'. No mention of 'milk chocolate' anywhere on the packaging.
I tried some today and it is the best vegan milk choc I've tasted :) I got mine from viva and I'm going to ask my local heath food shops if they can get some in.

Re: Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
For Americans + Canadians craving 'milk' chocolate:
Terra Nostra Organic Ricemilk Choco Bar is fantastic!! Really rich and creamy. Bit pricey but worth it for the occasional treat.
-
Re: Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
Mmmmmmm, yummy, I give these a definate thumbs up. It fooled my daughter and her friends. Yes they are kind of like Galaxy bars. I think it's the melt in the mouth creaminess these bars have that other soya milk bars seem to lack. The bar was gone in day! I found them in a health shop a bike ride away (not my local round the corner luckily!) so I can totally justify having a few pieces on the way home, seeing as I'm going to burn up those calories:D

Re: Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
I've just ordered some from vegan store. *twiddles thumbs excitedly, checks door mat expectantly every five mins*
-
Re: Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
It arrived!! And wow wee, its yummy. :) I really do think it tastes like galaxy, from what i remember. I only had a few bites because when i left the room my dog jumped up and snaffled the rest of the bar and the second one i'd ordered along with it.:eek: :mad: ...I suppose he liked it too. :rolleyes:

Oh no :eek: . Well I don't suppose you can blame your dog. It is delicious. I bought another bar yesterday and it is unopened in a dog proof drawer. I daren't open it cos I know I will scoff it all, and it's really a treat for my daughter :D

Re: Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
All they need to do now is make chocolates with it. Chocolates with caramel, parfait, fruit, toffee, mallow, mint and fudge centres...*faints with the anticipated pleasure*

I don't wish to alarm you or anyone else but chocolate is not good for dogs (or cats).

Re: Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
I will second that to give a dog normal chocolate is nothing short of abuse, it can kill them, please, please if you know anyone doing this please stop them.

Re: Vegan, Organic, Fair Trade, Milk Chocolate Bar !!!!
The only time my dog has chocolate is when he steals it. :( I always put it up high now though unless someone else leaves it. <_<
