Is chocolate vegan?
Short answer
Dark chocolate often is; milk chocolate usually is not. Classic milk chocolate contains milk powder. 70%+ dark is frequently vegan, but still read the label — butter, whey or lactose sneak in.
White chocolate is almost always dairy (cocoa butter plus milk). Pralines and bars: caramel, nougat and fillings may use gelatin or honey.
Vegan bars are now common in discounters. Look for “vegan” on the front or no milk in the ingredients.
