COMMENTS

  • Endorfin Turkish Coffee bar encompasses my favorite flavors that wake me up. Perfect afternoon pick me up bar!
  • I came across Treat Dreams chocolate in the summer of 2019 in Australia and I fell in love with them. And was totally surprised to find out they were vegan. I am so glad they submitted chocolate and they are available here in the US!
  • Overall I am very impressed with the creativity and quality of the chocolates! Vegan chocolate has come a long way. Had I not known these were vegan I would not have guessed.
  • Love all the creative flavor profiles, love fruit and nuts, love unique tropical infusions, love pretty decorations on chocolate presentation
  • Panda Peanut Butter: Better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  • The surprise hit Treat Dreams Aussie Pavlova was super delish!
  • Coco Jolie Passion Fruit Bonbon is a flavor bomb of summer delight!
  • Kudos to Treat Dreams for finding and using vegan marshmallow - a rare gem.
  • Kudos to Panda for its nice hefty bars and great packaging - which clearly (and temptingly) reveals the product inside.
  • Kudos to Honduras for using only two ingredients per bar - keep going with that cool strategy!
  • Craft Chocolate is the first company I've ever seen that uses allulose - congrats on being a groundbreaker in this field!
