Vegan Easter!!!


Easter is on It's way and being a new vegan I don't want to feel I'm missing out and one thing I do miss is Cadbury's creme eggs, seeing these delights everywhere in the shops at the moment makes one feel a little left out. I thought there was no alternative.
So imagine my utter delight on hearing about the VEGAN cream eggs being sold by the
Chocolate wendy house

So I get to indulge in a cream egg and keep my VEGAN resolve, awesome, right??
But what if they taste like a poor substitute for the real McCoy??

Well they taste AMAZING!!!
I wasn't expecting anything from them, in fact I was worried they wouldn't be up to much.
I was so happy when I bit into my first one and it was heaven :)
I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this at all.
The chocolate is sweet and creamy and the fondant center is rich and sweet.
They may be too sweet for those who prefer bitter darker chocolate but for me they were a fantastic cruelty free treat!!
I know tons of vegans that will be overjoyed with these.
The center even had a yellow "yolk"!!

They cost £1.20 per egg.

Wendy also sells chocolate bunnies, Easter eggs and truffles and much more.
I do recommend you take a trip to her site and try some of these yummy cream eggs :)
I'll be buying these for my vegan pals, for sure!!

Onto those of you who maybe interested in having a RAW VEGAN chocolate Easter!!

Briefly for those of you who don't know what raw chocolate means, It just means chocolate made from completely uncooked ingredients. Chocolate and all the ingredients never experience temperatures above 45 °C.
Why? Because Chocolate contains lots of nutrients and when you cook it in high temperatures you lose all the goodness, so raw chocolate has all the goodness and the yumminess of cooked, but is so much better for you!

So onto this fabulous Easter box by RAWR chocolate Easter box!

I must just tell you that not only are they raw and vegan but they are organic too, certified by the soil association.

First of all you notice the delightful packaging.
The eggs come in a little blue egg box, wrapped in a pretty yellow ribbon, tied in a bow, you open that to find the 4 foil wrapped eggs inside.
The eggs themselves are solid chocolate, heavy too.
After Dinner mint, orange Zest, dark Purity, and Intensity.
I love minty choc so I tried that first.
The chocolate is rich, took me 3 days to eat a full egg!
You are satisfied quickly with raw chocolate, I have noticed.
The chocolate is creamy, melts easily in your mouth too.
I have tried a fair few raw chocolate now and this has to be one of my all time faves.
It really is good.
I think people who like regular cooked chocolate should give raw chocolate a try, guilt free as you are getting so much goodness from it :)
It is sugar free too, sweetened with agave nectar. I think that is OK for diabetics but don't quote me on that as I am not sure.
Of course they are dairy free, being vegan, that makes it fab for those who cannot tolerate eggs or milk in their diet.

Being an Eco-conscious gal I LOVE that the packaging for all chocolate eggs are fully recyclable :)

Because the packaging as well as the chocolate is so lovely, this would make an ideal gift for a vegan family or friend for Easter.
Please do visit RAWR to find out more and to purchase an Easter box of your own!






Vegans and even raw vegans needn't miss out on the fun this Easter :)

Thank you for reading. xoxo
