Our favorite conservation-minded chocolatier has gone wild with oat milk. Last year they launched three dairy-free Endangered Species Oat Milk Chocolate Bars made with 55% cacao dark chocolate. This year, they’ve intensified their efforts with three more oat milk varieties made with 75% cacao dark chocolate. Each flavor represents a different threatened animal, and they include Zebra, Bumble Bee, Grauer’s Gorilla, Koala, Leopard, and Frog. Ten percent of the profit from every bar sold is donated to support conservation efforts for endangered species and habitats.
Endangered Species Oat Milk Chocolate Bars Release in More Vegan Varieties
The first time I tried the 55% Cacao Endangered Species Oat Milk Chocolate Bars I was a little surprised. I was expecting a creamy milk-style chocolate, but instead, it was more of a rustic, semi-sweet chocolate with natural oat undertones. Nonetheless, I became rather addicted to the untamed flavor and consistency of each bar. In fact, I’ve continued to buy them over the past year.
The 75% Cacao varieties are actually a little creamier, but with a deeper bittersweet flavor. I was the most smitten by the Leopard Sea Salt variety which has so much richness in both the taste and consistency.

Tried All Six Varieties
The 55% oat milk bars have a rustic, oat vibe on a semi-sweet chocolate base. They are somewhat unrefined, but the Sea Salt & Almonds (Bumble Bee) is uniquely delicious. Over time, the “Plain” (Zebra) has also grown on me, but the Crispy one is always a little stale.
I more recently tried the 75% oat milk bars. They’re actually creamier and I barely noticed any oat taste. As expected, they are a much richer, darker chocolate with bittersweet notes. Overall, I liked the depth of flavor, and once again, the Sea Salt (Leopard) won me over.
So good!
Shocked by the low reviews! Just got the oat milk + dark chocolate bar today and I’m sad it’s gone. Couldn’t stop eating it. Super creamy and since its 55% dark it is a sweet treat. For any vegan or lactose intolerant person (me), this is perfect for replacing milk chocolate. Can’t wait for a s’more with this chocolate!
Dark chocolate level a little low
I am lactose intolerant so as an oat milk drinker was delighted to see that my favorite dark chocolate candy brand would have oat milk dark chocolate bars. Unfortunately due to the low dark chocolate level of 55% there is not enough of a dark chocolate taste. It’s really in between dark and milk chocolate. I will still buy them but will buy the 70%plus real dark chocolate bars from them and take my lactose pills and suffer somewhere.
Blech
I was excited to try these but wow what a letdown. The rice crisp bar has not a hint of crispy anything in it and the chocolate tastes like the really cheap stuff I remember from when I was a kid.
Everyone has different tastes so it might be worth trying if you can find it cheap but don’t get your hopes up.
AMAZING!
I have tried the one with puffs and almonds. They are very good. I prefer the one with the rice puffs because it reminds me of child hood but these bars are terrific. Honestly one of the best dark chocolate bars I have had. Oat milk rules!
