Montezuma's Easter Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Mini Eggs GlutenFree And Vegan Bag 150g

Product Information

This egg is genuinely stunning, the unique out casing is hand-painted in India, and each flavour has its own distinct floral design. Inside, the egg is lined with fabric and filled with Booja Booja’s legendary organic vegan truffles. Kakoa’s egg is sophisticated but fun and unlike anything else available on the vegan market. If you love white chocolate, it’s a must-buy this Easter. It also gives it a subtle hint of hazelnut flavour that makes the vegan chocolate taste really decadent, a little like a praline. Handcrafted in Notting Hill by one of the most luxurious ethical chocolate brands in the UK, family owned Melt adds intrigue with their launch of the Strawberry Easter Egg. At 260g, it’s a decent sized egg for the price, particularly as it comes with 100g of mini dark chocolate eggs too.

Hotel Chocolat are a luxurious chocolate brand so if you’d like something a little fancier this Easter, try one of these eggs: It’s simple but so flavoursome and just the right amount of sweet and salty with plenty of texture to keep it interesting. In the past, vegan white chocolate has always slightly missed the mark in terms of flavour and can often be too sweet. However, I was pleasantly surprised with MooFree’s lemon white chocolate – the subtle taste of lemon balances the sweetness perfectly without being too tart for younger mouths.

Our Eco Packaging

Also, Montezuma supports a Chichester based children’s charity that helps children globally and goes to extra lengths to make sure that workers are treated fairly. Where once we used metallised plastic, we now use 100% paper and card. Sounds simple, but it turned out to be fiendishly complicated - because it’s not just the card, but the ink and the finish. To begin with I wondered if they were hiding inside the hen, but they’re actually incorporated into the chocolate shell to give a really interesting texture.

The chocolate egg is made from dark chocolate, which is really rich in cocoa and leaves the comforting taste of sweet cocoa powder in your mouth. It’s the kind of flavour you get with a mug of really good dark hot chocolate. Cocoa farmers are almost all extremely poor. Cocoa can only be grown in tropical countries, and it is almost entirely grown by smallholders. The bulk of production is in West Africa, with Ivory Coast – the biggest exporter – producing 43% of the world’s supply. Ghana is in second place, and produces about 20%.The chocolate has a fantastic snap, a gorgeous gloss to the shell, and notes of vanilla in the tasting. Montezuma’s has added another new product to it’s‘ Like No Udder’ range – an organic dairy-free milk chocolate Easter egg with chocolate buttons. Honeycomb egg and bar. A chocolate egg with crunchy honeycomb pieces and a honeycomb bar. Think of this as the vegan alternative to Cadbury’s Crunchie Easter egg! Is it Fairtrade?Many agricultural products are grown by overworked and underpaid workers. Lookfor Fairtrade to make sure that the person growing your chocolate is receives a fair wage and working conditions. Despite this, there is little evidence of significant progress. There are still estimated to be about two million children working on cocoa farms in West Africa. There is particularly profound concern about it because it is such hazardous work; cocoa pods are split with machetes, toxic chemicals are used, and the children carry extremely heavy loads. Injuries are extremely common.

Montezuma's kindly sent me a couple of their vegan Eco Easter eggs to put them through their paces.With respect to farming, all of which is done sustainably and through a Gentle Farming Program which encourages local biodiversity and resilience.

Not only do we offer dark vegan chocolate, but we also have our wonderfully creamy vegan milk chocolate alternative, Like No Udder. Our wonderful creation that’s as possibly close as you can get to milk chocolate without going near a cow! A little different to your traditional Easter egg shape, it’s a decent size at around 17cm high, 12cm wide and 11cm deep.

For me, this chocolate is a great option for both milk and dark chocolate lovers because it contains 45% cocoa so is both creamy yet ultra-rich and chocolatey too.
