Perhaps you have heard me rave about this chocolatier a time or two. Their truffles and holiday treats are quite extraordinary. But today I’m talking about some everyday essentials: No Whey Milkless Chocolate Bars. These dairy-free, allergy-friendly chocolate bars come in Semisweet Dark Chocolate, “Milk” Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Nestle-style Crunchy “Milk” Chocolate.
Tasting Notes for No Whey Milkless Chocolate Bars
Each bar weighs in at 1.4 ounces, and is perfectly sectioned into bite-sized indulgences. A few of us have sampled these bars, so I’ve included all of our notes here. But please do leave your own unbiased rating and review below.
“Milk” Chocolate
The flavor of this bar was quite sweet, slightly milky, gently chocolaty, and fairly smooth. I always enjoy the underlying cocoa buttery consistency that No Whey nails. But interestingly enough, I really noticed a strong essence of vanilla in this bar. Although it did have that classic cocoa backdrop, it reminded me immensely of white chocolate. To verify, I parted with some squares of the “Milk”, and asked Tony to sample them. He concurred that the bar definitely had more of a white chocolate taste than pure milk chocolate.
Sarah and her daughter also sampled these bars. She proclaimed them “S’mores tested, kid approved AND adult approved.” They thought these milkless bars had the mild flavor of milk chocolate, the creamy texture, and the meltability.
Ingredients: vegan cane sugar, cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate, rice syrup powder, sunflower lecithin (an emulsifier), salt, natural vanilla, natural flavor.

Dark Semisweet Chocolate
No Whey’s Dark bar was even smoother than the milky version. It had a mellower and more buttery taste than is typical with most dark chocolate bars. Overall, I would describe it as “relaxed” without any bitterness or overtly sweet notes.
I think this is an excellent bar for those of us who value the underlying richness of cocoa butter. It’s also a good pick for kids and adults who may be timid around the bittersweet flavors of many dark chocolate brands.

Crunchy “Milk” Chocolate
We haven’t tried this particular bar, but it’s a Nestle Crunch copycat. They spike their “Milk” chocolate bar with gluten-free crispy rice for a nostalgic texture.
Ingredients: vegan cane sugar, cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate, whole grain brown rice, rice syrup powder, sunflower lecithin (an emulsifier), salt, natural vanilla, natural flavor.

Polar Dream White Chocolate
I had the chance to try Polar Dream in its early days. But the chocolatier, Yochy, asked me not to fully review it at that time, since he was still tweaking the formula. I thought it was very sweet, but overall tasty back then. I haven’t tried it since then, but Leah has:
My excitement when I stumbled upon this vegan white chocolate was almost embarrassing. I had never seen a vegan white chocolate bar before and didn’t even think, I just impulsively bought it. I was so excited to dig in that I barely made it home before ripping open the packaging, breaking off a little square, and popping it in my mouth. Sweet, mellow, and creamy, it was everything I remembered about white chocolate. This seriously good white chocolate is tasty on its own or baked into cookies! Yes, it gets perfectly melty, but still holds its own. I am so impressed by this stuff!
Ingredients: vegan cane sugar, cocoa butter, maltodextrin (from corn), sunflower lecithin, natural vanilla, dextrose, tragacanth gum (natural thickener), natural flavor.

The sweet side of chocolate
Definitely on the sweet side of chocolate, all three bars have a rich cocoa buttery consistency and are virtually free of cacao bitterness. The Dark is smooth, rich and just slightly more grown-up. The “Milk” was sweet, like you might taste on a typical candy bar, and was almost more vanilla than cacao. The White is very sweet, creamy, and does indeed work well in baking.

Have the white bars been discontinued? I just used up my stash and went to the website to order more but couldn’t find it listed. And recommendations for a replacement white chocolate?
I’m not sure Jojo! They were there just a month ago. It’s possible they’re out or retooling the formula. The chocolatier there is always testing new things! I’d be very surprised if they permanently discontinued them as they are popular.
I’ve been on the hunt for a white chocolate! THIS BRAND LOOKS KICK BUTT!
