Let’s be honest, vegan chocolate is a bit of a minefield. For every creamy, delicious bar, there are at least three that taste like dusty regret. I’ve tried a lot of them, so I’m here to save you the disappointment (and the £3.50 impulse buys that end in heartbreak).
Here are some of the best vegan chocolate bars available in the UK, tried, tested, and judged with love and a high tolerance for cocoa-based trauma.
NoMo (Affiliate Partner)
No Missing Out is the brand name, and for once, the marketing isn’t lying. These are creamy, melt-in-your-mouth bars that actually feel like chocolate. The caramel one is especially good, but honestly, I haven’t had a bad NoMo bar yet.
They’re also easy to find in most supermarkets or online, and they don’t cost a small fortune.
Top pick: Caramel & Sea Salt Bar or the Creamy Choc Bar

Vego (My Actual Favourite, But Don’t Tell NoMo)
Vego is the one if you’re craving rich, indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. Their whole hazelnut bar is thick, smooth, and slightly nutty. It doesn’t taste like the old Dairy Milk Almond (where did that go), but it’s in a category of its own and definitely worth trying if you want a real treat.

Nestlé Vegan KitKat
I didn’t expect to like this. It’s dark chocolate, which isn’t usually my thing, and it’s Nestlé. But credit where it’s due, it works. Classic crispy KitKat texture, decent flavour, and not too bitter. I wouldn’t eat ten of them, but I’d eat two and consider a third.
LoveRaw
Think vegan Kinder Bueno. These are fun, creamy, and have that satisfying layered crunch. I like the peanut butter one best, but honestly, they’re all pretty decent. Bonus points for having no plastic packaging inside either.
Galaxy Vegan Range
You know when a mainstream brand tries to go vegan and just misses the mark? That’s not the case here. Galaxy actually did okay. Their vegan bars are sweet, creamy, and feel familiar if you used to love milk chocolate. Not my top favourite, but they’ve earned a place on the list.
Monty Bojangles
Monty Bojangles do those fancy truffle boxes you see around gifting season, and thankfully, some of them are vegan. The packaging is posh, the texture’s on point, and the flavours like Cocoa Nib Nights and Caramel Haze genuinely feel indulgent. A solid go-to when you want vegan chocolate that doesn’t scream “Free From.”
Lindt (For the Dark Chocolate People)
I’m not a dark chocolate fan, so I’m hesitant to judge, but I have chocolatey friends who swear by Lindt’s vegan-friendly dark bars. Some are accidentally vegan, some are clearly labelled. If you like rich, bitter, grown-up chocolate, you’ll probably find something here to love.
Accidentally Vegan Chocolate
There’s a small joy in finding chocolate that’s secretly vegan without shouting about it. Things like Bournville, certain own-brand supermarket dark chocolates, and some flavoured bars from posh brands sneak in here. Always double-check ingredients, but you might be surprised how many of these exist.
Dirty Cow Pistachio Crunch (55% Cocoa)
This one’s more for the dark chocolate lovers. 55% cocoa with a nice crunch of pistachios. It’s not my personal favourite, I’m a milk-style chocolate fan, but I can’t deny it’s good quality. If you’re into richer chocolate that isn’t bitter, this one’s worth a try.
Mummy Meegz Chuckie Eggs (The Cream Egg Dupe)
As someone who used to love Cadbury’s Creme Eggs, I really wanted this to work. Sadly, the Chuckie Egg didn’t quite land for me. The centre just doesn’t have that gooey indulgence I was hoping for. If you weren’t obsessed with the original, you might still enjoy it, but for me, it’s a swing and a miss.
Mummy Meegz Mini Eggs (Much Better)
Now these are the win. Their vegan mini eggs actually hit the spot. Great crunchy shell, tasty chocolate, and they didn’t leave me pining for the real thing. I didn’t expect them to be good, but I’d definitely buy these again. A solid vegan Easter treat.
M&S Vegan Chocolate (Surprisingly Good)
Marks & Spencer have done a decent job with their plant-based chocolate range. Their dairy-free bars and seasonal options, like their Easter chocolates, are smooth, sweet, and feel like a treat. Not mind-blowing, but reliably good and easy to find.
Tesco’s Free From Chocolate (Just… No)
Okay, look. I want to be supportive of all supermarket attempts at vegan treats, but Tesco’s Free From chocolate is just not it. Chalky, bland, and kind of sad. If you’re tempted by the price tag, I’d say skip it and put your money towards a NoMo or a Vego instead. Life’s too short for mediocre chocolate.
Final Thoughts and Where to Start
If you’re new to vegan chocolate or just want something that doesn’t feel like a compromise, start with NoMo. It’s affordable, accessible, and actually enjoyable. If you want to treat yourself, go for Vego. And if you’re a dark chocolate person, Lindt has you covered.
