Green and Blacks Chocolate Bars (2 Viewers)

Sweet baby jesus. I only had their mint bar for the first time tonight. I think I want to cry it's so blinkin gorgeous. Melty mint goo in dark chocolate. Swoon.
I'd also like to pay homage to the cherry one. Real cherries, all tangy and dry and surprising. The ginger isn't so hot (it's a bit weird). They Maya Gold (orange and spices) one makes me feel quite swanky, like I'm eating fererro rocher or something.

Also, they make the awesomest hot chocolate. Amazing warming your gulliver in the winter or making your chocolate mojitos oh so drinkable in summer.

Green and Blacks, je te salute.



*It's just also occurred to me that my inability to znooze at a reasonable hour *may* have something to do with eating dark chocolate at bedtime.

oh they never let me down.
the espresso one is just mentaaaaaaaal.

 

[minka]

maya gold is particularly yummy. i have also heard recently that they have a maya gold hot chocolate, which MUST BE TRIED.

 

[billygannon]

The best chocolate in the world. By a long way.

 

[TrueLoveWaits]

I live and breathe by this Chocolate....YUM.

 

[Hector Grey]

yes, but is it vegan?

 

[TrueLoveWaits]

yes, but is it vegan?

Admittedly no...it's difficult enough to come across good vegan chocolate actually, any recommendations? The Quay Coop in Cork do a wickedly good vegan chocolate cake though...YUM. Making myself very hungry now...

Why isn't it vegan? Only says "suitable for vegetarians" here but I can't see anything milky or eggy on the ingedients list... http://www.greenandblacks.com/uk/productdetails.php?pageid=27&cid=6&pid=10&ingredients=yes

Amazing cholcolate. I love the espresso and the dark. Their milk chocolate is really nice too - not as sweet as most milk chocolate.

In the absence of a helpful answer (thanks Hector) I've emailed Green & Blacks to ask them.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

I've never had Green and Blacks chocolate.

Never.

Might buy a bar at lunchtime.

I think the reason they don't market them as vegan is because they are handled in a factory with eggs and milk...

 

[jillface]

i always thought the maya gold one was vegan...

There should be official levels of veganism/vegetarianism, like that eco-warrior in the Simpsons ("I'm a level 5 vegan, I don't eat anything that casts a shadow").

Cause if that's all it is then most of the vegans I know wouldn't really be bothered by the factory milky eggy thing.

 

[Buzzo]

The ones I listed are vegan. Cherry, Mint, plain dark and Maya Gold. That whole handling in a factory buzz.... would that not imply that strict vegans can only live with other vegans because of shared utensils and shit?
