Though it isn’t a delight that we get to enjoy in North America (yet!), Sweet William Chocolate is a dairy-free Australian brand that makes a huge range of allergy-friendly chocolate products. They even craft dairy-free white chocolate!
Sweet William Chocolate is an Allergy-Friendly Favorite in Australia
The Original Sweet William Chocolate bars and blocks are made to taste just like milk chocolate. The white chocolate is even creamier and rich with cocoa butter. For those who want a little less sugar, Sweet William Chocolate also offers an array of dark chocolate and “I’m Sweet Enough” no sugar added bars (using maltitol and stevia). I’ve included details on a few of their most popular chocolate bars, followed by quick information on some of their other offerings.
