Veganism has grown exponentially over the past few years. No more are those that have chosen to live a cruelty-free lifestyle condemned to suffer at the hands of bland, dairy-free chocolate eggs that possess as much flavour as an Eagles concert. No, those days are behind us. Now we’re almost spoilt for choice.
Easter is just around the corner! So we’ve decided to put together a little guide on the best vegan Easter eggs and Easter adjacent treats that money can. Maybe there’s a special herbivorous significant other in your life that you feel like spoiling. Or perhaps you just want to treat yourself. Either way, you’re going to feel spoilt for choice after this.
Treat Dreams Creme Eggs
Creme Eggs are perhaps the most polarising easter delicacy around. Some find them far too sickly, whilst others love to get their fingers stuck into their devilishly goopy centres. Thankfully, Treat Dreams has released a vegan interpretation of the Cadbury classic. You’ll be able to pick up a pack of six from The Cruelty Free Shop for the price of $32.15.
Lindt Gold Dark Bunny
The only thing better than a vegan bunny, is an accidental-vegan bunny. I personally am a staunch believer that dark chocolate is the superior chocolate. I’m also of the opinion that no one does dark chocolate better than Lindt (well, perhaps Whittaker’s, but New Zealand does everything better.) These bad boys are pretty much available everywhere, so they’re a great option for when you realise that you’ve forgotten to buy your partner a festive chocolate.
Moo Free Bunnycomb Easter Egg
I hope that the genius that decided to combine honeycomb and chocolate got a big fat kiss on their big juicy brain. Moo Free Bunnycomb Easter Egg’s infuse the shell of the egg with pieces of vegan-friendly honeycomb toffee. It’s like a perfectly balanced Crunchie. These eggs are available online or in-store at The Cruelty Free Shop for $15.95.
Boobook Chocolate Eggs
Haighs Freckled Eggs
If I’m being honest with you, I don’t think freckled eggs deserve a seat at anyone’s table. Hundreds and thousands are a crap topping that I find revolting. HOWEVER this list is not about me, it is about you. Boujee chocolatiers Haighs have a gorgeous little egg number filled with smaller sprinkly numbers. It’ll set you back about $17 and you can score them from their website.
Koko Black Hazelnut Praline Dark Triplets
Whoever designed the packaging clearly has not seen The Human Centipede. Jarring imagery aside, Koko Black has developed hazelnut infused bunny chocolates. Delish. $8.50 from their website.
Gluten Free Bakehouse Hot Cross Buns
The dietary requirement gods hath supplied the goods, and they’re available in Woolworths. They’re available in both chocolate and fruit and they’re absolutely scrumptious. Also, why are hot cross buns not available to purchase year round? They’re clearly one of the most superior bread-based delicacies on the market. Why do we only have a small window of time to get our mittens on them? Available from Woolworths for $4.50.
