What is “Vegan Chocolate” and where do I get it?
- Vegan chocolate contains no animal products, so always check the ingredients list on the package.
- Don’t be concerned with “cocoa butter.” It’s a natural cocoa fat that IS vegan.
- Look for a high quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 55%.
- Trader Joe’s have a great option!
