Last weekend I went to ExpoWest, which is a natural products trade show held in Anaheim. There are about 30 choccolate or candy companies that display there so I try to stop by for a few hours during the show to check out the new treats. This year I saw that Sjaak’s, the California-based chocolatier that’s Fair Trade, Organic and often Vegan had some new items.
These little floral shaped bites are Hazelnut. Amazingly they’re also vegan - so no dairy products in there even though it’s “milky.” The chocolate is smooth, the hazelnut flavors are pretty bold. (I think a darker chocolate option would be fun, too.)

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Awww, Cybele, you oughtn’t to be reviewing vegan candies!
And why shouldn’t she?
Arthur - it’s a joke. A while back I reviewed some vegan candy bars, some I liked, some I didn’t but the maker of the candy said that “carnis” (people who eat meat) are not qualified to judge or even document their products. (You can read a recap of the experience here)
For the record, my favorite vegan candy is widely available: it’s dark chocolate. (Oh, and I gave up red meat 23 years ago.)
Because there is a vegan candy manufacturer who took offense at it since she’s not a vegan.
Ah, I remember that now.
Was just reading the Twitter back-and-forth on that—vegan me is definitely not going to be supporting that company.
yikes, how good can that company’s candy be if it makes their employee such an angry rude person? candy is supposed to make you happy!
anyway, i love your site, and i want to try those hazelnut candies like right now. mmm hazelnut
