I know I’ve mostly been doing fun posts lately but I do have something in the works on the idea of moral demandingness. Coming next week. For today, let’s talk about chocolate.
I absolutely love chocolate, whether in cakes or cookies or just plain bars. Lots of people think that it’ll be hard to find good chocolate if you’re vegan. At the very least they think you’re in trouble if you were a milk chocolate lover. Personally I like dark chocolate and a good amount of it is either intentionally or accidentally plant-based. So that is lucky for me. But some people don’t love it. They find it bitter and think it just doesn’t satisfy the way milk chocolate does.
I recently came across a delicious line of chocolate bars from the German chocolate company Ritter Sport that are vegan and creamy like milk chocolate. I bought a salted caramel one last weekend and savoured it, eating a couple of squares each day after lunch for six days. It was delicious and smooth, with just enough crunch from the salted caramel to make it interesting.
Not all the Ritter Sport chocolate bars are vegan but they have four different flavours in their vegan line (roasted peanuts, crunch almonds, smooth chocolate, and salted caramel). Each is clearly marked as vegan on the package, so just make sure you check before you buy.
I can vouch for the salted caramel. I’m going to go get another this weekend. They’re not exactly cheap. But they’re not outrageous either. I paid $5.99 Canadian for mine and I got a lot of joy for six days in a row. To me a dollar a day seems a reasonable price to pay for a little treat.
When my friends were all posting about breaking into the Halloween candy, I wasn’t feeling any FOMO because I had my chocolate bar.
If you haven’t inferred it already, I highly recommend this brand of vegan chocolate.
Bon appétit!
