Can Vegans Eat Chocolate?

Absolutely! There are so many vegan chocolate options out there, that it might be possible to list them all.

The only thing that vegans need to be aware of when buying chocolate is milk. Usually, it's obvious as non-vegan chocolate products are labeled as "milk chocolate".

However, it's important to double dark chocolate labels as well. Many of the more popular brands like Hershey's Dark Chocolate have milk in their dark chocolate bar - what a shame!

Look for higher cacao percentages when you're shopping around. Chocolate bars or chips that are over 60% cacao usually don't have any milk products.
