Moo Free Chocolate is well known in the UK for their kid-friendly chocolate, but they just came onto my radar in recent years. I excitedly had the opportunity to trial their Dairy-Free Chocolate Easter Egg.
Tasting Notes for Moo Free Chocolate
To note, Moo Free chocolate brings some very special things to the dairy-free table:
- Vegan “Milk” Chocolate: They use a rice powder base. Making it one of the few milk-less “milk” chocolates that is also soy-free by ingredients. Though they do process soy in the same facility.
- A Dedicated Dairy-Free Facility: All Moo Free chocolates are produced in a factory that has only ever been used to make dairy-free products.
- Organic Status: Moo Free chocolate is certified by the Organic Farmers & Growers and Vegan Society, and made with fair trade sugar and cocoa.
Scrummy Organic Dairy-Free Chocolate Easter Egg
This sweet treat is hollow, but jumbo in size, measuring a full 5 inches in length. Though it was made without nuts, my taste buds detected a definite hazelnut vibe. I thought it was a pleasant, sweeter, and smoother alternative to dark chocolate. Though it has a “nuttier” and slightly less creamy flavor than traditional milk chocolate.
Bunnycomb
Underneath that smooth shell exterior lurks an infusion of dairy-free honeycomb toffee.
If you look closely, you may be able to spot those generously added sweet bits of goodness embedded in the dairy-free milk chocolate. But even if you miss them on first site, you will quickly discover that delicious honeycomb when you crack the egg open.
Everyone in our house loved the Bunnycomb, especially the resident teenager. The sweet crunch makes it absolutely addicting!
For kids, those who might find dark chocolate too bitter, or others like me who adore all forms of cocoa, Moo Free chocolate is a cute one to add to the shopping cart. To note, this chocolatier has been around for a few years, but their primary customer base is in the UK. However, they are gradually expanding sales into the U.S. and other countries. They can currently be bought online from U.S. retailers like Vegan Essentials and is being imported by British Aisles.

I’ve also found that a lot of vegan products contain milk protein. I’m to afraid to have him try these.
Rita, no vegan products should ever have milk protein in them. If you have spotted a product labeled specifically as “vegan” that contains milk protein, please let me know what it was and I will contact the company as that would be a serious issue!
I’ve come across your site trying to locate milk free recipes for my grandson. The grocery stores tend to have products that have some milk in them when you read the ingrediants. I would like to know what to use (ingrediants) to make chocolate pudding for him? He is very allergic to milk and any other beef product.
Rita, I outline pudding recipes and how to make instant pudding (several methods) in Go Dairy Free the book – http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979128625
are you soya free? Regards Mary
I would like to know how to substitute the heavy cream dairy. Free for chocolate truffles.
Ruth, for making truffles, regular, full-fat coconut milk works as a good substitute for dairy cream.
