    Mmm that sounds great Cats!

    I LOVE chocolate almond milk! Soymilk is good too, but nothing can beat almond.

    Yesterday I bought some Soy Delicious chocolate brownie ice cream, and had a big bowl topped with a small scoop of maple butter. WOW!

    My absolute favourite chocolate bars are Tropical Source. They're not bitter like the Lindt 70% cocoa bars, and they come in so many varieties! I can't decide if I like the almond or rice crisp one best

    There's a chocolate shop here on the West Coast called Purdy's chocolates. Their dark chocolate is vegan, so I love to buy chocolate covered nuts, but my all-time favourte chocolates from there are the mint melties. I'm such a sucker for mint chocolate, and it's so rare to find VEGAN mint chocolate, that I have to take the long way around in the mall so I don't go past that shop! LOL

    I never liked carob much, it just has this weird taste to it that I don't like. But the organic supermarket here has a carob almond cluster that's to DIE for! It doesn't have that weird caroby aftertaste, so it's amazing! Expensive though, so I don't get it too often. I just live off the mint chocolates in the meantime

    What do you do with a chocolate fountain? I only seen one once and it was milk chocolate (and I was vegan).

    My friend got one for her birthday - unfortunately for me the people who gave it to her had only supplied milk chocolate so I didn't get to try it, but I know you can use any smooth chocolate you want in it because you have to add vegetable oil to get it to the correct "founting" consistency anyway

    She had fresh fruit (strawberries and bananas), bits of cake, and marshmallows to dip in it.

    What chocolate spread preferences do people have? I just had a massive chocolate craving and have eaten two rice cakes with 'dairy free' (Humdinger, sweet william, purple label) chocolate spread on. Very nice, tho I think I like the vegan store hazelnut one better.

    Hotel Chocolat do a nutella looking spread that is vegan. At a fiver a jar I've been a bit wary of trying it so far, though!

    I've also seen a few recipes - realistically, it shouldn't be too difficult to make something superior to Nutella, with hazelnuts and sugar plus cocoa powder or melted chocolate...

    I think they must be new. I bought them from a shop in my town (waits for everyone to be totally envious). I expect vegan store or similar would have them though....maybe. The shop also had the Booja Booja eggs that Amy mentioned on the Easter Egg thread.

    If I may reword.... Firstly I misread "The Chocolate Defence Thread-" and saw "for GENUINE chocoholics !" closely associated with redwellies' presence.
    When I read a few posts I felt small pleasurable sensations emanating from my cardiovascular regions, pulsing chuckles at the thought of vegans with chocolate.
    I might read the whole thread in serial fashion...not that I'm deeply into chocolate adverts you understand.
    I have been fairly clean for months now...though I did "replace" some cocoa powder at Borstal village early Februwary.

    ...chockles, no...chuckles Chockles...not chockles, chuckles. Nut chockles...?..

    I NEED some of those!

    I think I will order some Troody's truffles for Easter - they are the best ever - instead of an Easter egg.

    I have also recently discovered Organica's white chocolate (having avoiding it after last vegan white chocolate experience - white choc drops from veganstore, which we not nice at all). I'm in love!

    I happened to wander into Hotel Chocolat today. I don't often as bars of chocolate make me feel sick and the vegan provision at HC is mostly such confectionary.
    However.
    I went in there today and spied these:



    (apologies for massive pic but I wanted text to be readable)

    And you'll be pleased to know that these were just TWO of the selection available, I spied at least 1 other (a nutty almond crunchy thing) but restrained myself.

    So go! Go and feast upon the chocolate!

    i haven't tried the Smudge ones but the Arabica Noir are very nice.

    I saw that a few days ago, and of course had to buy a bar, as I always do when new vegan choc appears.

    I thought it was okay, but a bit too "brown-sugar"y for my liking.

    You are correct Roxy. I've been a troll and I am sorry . I promise to keep away from this thread until I have at least touched some naked chocolate.
