This weekend we are celebrating World Vegan Day, so we have teamed up with amazing SpamellaB to create a delicious vegan recipe. These scrumptious vegan chocolate, cherry, & coconut bars are not only a pleasure to eat but also to make. 

It is important to us to produce delicious chocolate for those avoiding dairy or who choose to live a vegan lifestyle. We probably have the most extensive collection of vegan chocolate bars and truffles around! We pride ourselves on our chocolate recipes and never compromise on flavour.
