The 10 Best Vegan & Dairy Free Chocolate Bars You MUST Try!

Is there any better way to treat yourself than helping yourself to a rich, creamy bar of chocolate? Here at PlantX, we genuinely think it’s the best way to show some self-love! But many non-vegans or new vegans may ask, is dairy-free chocolate really as good as chocolate containing cow’s milk?  We are here to tell you… that it most certainly is! Dairy-free, vegan chocolate is just as smooth, rich, melt-in-your-mouth and delicious as regular chocolate. Not only does it taste just as good, but dairy-free chocolate is also often higher quality and more ethical than regular chocolate.
