The 25 Best Dairy-Free Chocolate Gifts for the Holidays

Updated 2021! Chocolate is always the perfect gift. Yes, always. It makes loved ones swoon, children clamor, coworkers sigh, and neighbors grateful. But it’s tricky when you know the recipient has a special diet. Fortunately, dairy-free, vegan, and even allergy-friendly chocolatiers are emerging. And I’ve gathered what we believe are the best dairy-free chocolate gifts for the holidays. The following sweet surprises won our top marks for fun and festive, sensationally smooth and creamy, or downright indulgent.

25 Best Dairy-Free Chocolate Gifts for the Holidays

Each one of these decadent treats has gift-worthy appeal, but there is no rule on who they should be gifted to. You can share them with family, a dairy-free friend, or anyone who should know just how delicious dairy-free and vegan can be. But don’t forget to gift some to yourself – you deserve something special this holiday season too!

Please note that these products were dairy-free by ingredients at the time of our review. Many of these brands have allergy-friendly practices, but ingredients and processes may vary and are subject to change. Potential cross-contamination of an allergen is possible in any environment.  Always contact the company directly to confirm a product’s safety where severe food allergies or other food issues are a concern.

They’re liberally featured in several of her holiday options, including the massive Caramel Collection. But peruse the whole site before you purchase.
