I figure that I'm gonna be pretty popular when I announce that we have chocolate for you! Well, ok not all of you! But 5 lucky peeps who can tell me what amazing dairy free delights they have discovered this year.
I can tell you what my favourite is right now -- Constant Cravings incredibly, immensely delicious and decadent Chocolate Truffles! We've got gift packs of 8 (EIGHT!! I just dribbled on the keyboard) Constant Craving truffles valued at $18 to win.
And victory will taste all the sweeter knowing that no cows (or calves!) were harmed in the making of those chocolicious treats!
In the pack are Scorched Almond, Coconut Rough, Apricot Dream and Coffee flavoured truffles. Now if any of you are worried about a little guilty pleasure, I am quite prepared to get on a flight to anywhere and help the winners polish off their prize. I'm considerate like that ;)
So, go on, tell me what your fave dairy-free snack is and make my tummy grumble even more. Good luck!

My favourite actually happens to be Coles Belgian dark chocolate. I know it's not as "vegan" as supporting companies who specifically set out to make chocolate vegan. But we still have to support the big companies that make vegan stuff to let them know this is what we want!
Mostly though... it just tastes amazing!
I also love all Leda and Sweet Williams chocolate too! YUM!
I had one of their lemon & raspberry cheesecakes at the Sydney Oscars law rally and my eyes basically rolled into the back of my head, Real cheesecake taste!
Mango sorbet ice cream made into smoothies with all vegan products is the BEST!
I think it bears mentioning that we should be kind to the earth and human animals as well by trying to buy organic fairtrade chocolate, like this one, which I will HOPEFULLY one day find and buy many and gobble up with no guilt whatsoever (
It's raw as well!
It is SOOOOOOO yummy and whenever I have it I want more! I also dribble all over the place cause it is THAT yummy!!!!
It's fantastic with some homemade vegan butterscotch pudding.
...Twilight bars are also to die for.
I make it with soy milk, cocoa and maple syrup.. Blended up and served with fresh berries! I mean, who doesn't want to have berries and chocolate custard for breakfast?! And to know it's healthy?!
(I was also blown away to find out that OREO'S are vegan! What the?!!)
Ia lso started making pizzas with Daiya cheese, broccoli, "sausage", and mushrooms. I never ate sausage, meat or non, until this year (and I'm not young!). I am very easy to pleas as long as it's vegan.
2. 'Naturally Good' Deliciously Free moist chocolate mud cake mix...makes the most scrumptulicious cake ever!
& 3. can't go past the good ole Leda Choculence biccies- mmmm... Puts tim tams to shame
I also recently discovered dairy-free dark chocolate, the best thing EVER!
so good, leda's chocolate chip cookies are my sanity
Is this footage filmed in Australia or the States?
Well my favorite vegan treat is So Good vanilla ice-cream with crushed Oreos!
Uh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I've had this deliciousness most days of my 2.5 years being vegan..& I still can't get enough!
These chocolates do sound like a worthy change though...!
So many different delicious varieties Bliss Organic in Adelaide imports them from the UK. Also endorsed by Jona Weinhofen of BMTH @gomaxfoodgo on twitter. I also have delicious recipes for vegan gingerbread and peanut butter and jelly cupcakes!
I've been known to buy tubs of it from them.

I love them with soyatoo cream whipped and some strawberries on the side.
Dairy free heaven !!!!!
Oh and Joker bars are dairy free snickers and are just as addictive as my first fav dairy free choice here.
They are available from the crueltyfreeshop.com.au
I am also a huge fan of Whittakers' Dark Ghana chocolate and their dark chcolate peanut slab!
It's so pure that the coconut butter separates in the jar. Spread on toast for my midnight snacks it makes the whole kitchen smell like crushed cocao pods . It's raw and organic and can be used in hair care and skin care and is also the only chocolate I've ever heard of for being good for weight loss. How about that for a treat.
Btw I have never used it as hair care, it is much too heavenly to not nibble on xx
My favourite dairy-free... tough choice, but I have to go with LEDA! Their Choculence and Minton biscuits are my kryptonite. Okay, so that new pair of jeans I bought might not be so happy after I devour the entire two packets in one sitting, but... well... you see... it makes sense, because..... erm... *eyes glaze over as the craving takes control*
Crap. Now I have to buy myself a packet tomorrow when I go to Coles. Or, you know, you can spare me the guilt (because what kind of person would I be if I resisted a gift?) and let me win those truffles! Mmmm.
I'll also occasionally buy Woolies' home brand gluten-free/vegan imitation tim tams - they aren't as nice as Choculence but occasionally I'm left without a Coles to get them from, and while I like supporting companies like Leda that specialize in vegan stuff, it's good to show the big companies that it's worth making vegan products too.
When I'm eating out, Bliss Organic Garden Cafe (Compton St, just off Gouger St, Adelaide) always has delicious cakes that are gluten free, vegan (just like everything else in the entire store), and always creamy and amazing.
And I know brownies aren't traditionally a summer treat, but these are perfect eaten cold from the fridge the next day - like chewy chocolate fudge.
My favourites are the crunchy mint dark raw chocolate
and the coconut chocolate butter - AH-MAZING on toast and on a homemade seed-packed energy slice I make.
(One of) The best thing about these chocolatey products are that they are so creamy and delicate. They have the beautiful chocolate taste than any chocolate-lover DREAMS about and they are made with the finest organic ingredients - so you're not only helping the animals and your health, you're helping the planet in many other way too!

How about a bowl of that Sanitarium soy ice cream everyone is going on about, with shaved Sweet William chocky mixed through it, served on a vegan waffle with maple syrup drizzled over the top AND yet more chocky grated over the top?
Oh boy, I'm gurgling like Homer Simpson :/
