Green and blacks chocolate don't agree with me?
Iam a vegan what other chocolate can i eat and can u tell me the chocolate website the chocolate as to be vegan. From nottingham uk
Answers:
Most chocolate is vege, but not vegan. Marks and spencers sell organic chocolate without additives so you can be sure about what's in it, but their range in fair trade is v limited. I like green and blacks but can see why it wouldn't agree with your stomach. I also like other fair trade brands like divine and doubble.
Green & blacks contains dairy so it's not vegan - try these they're dairy free!

Look into your local health food store. Plamil is particularly nice. Try making your own with carob. There are several carob/dairy free bars available. Try www.alotofchocolate.co.uk/choc... to get some on line or find out outlets near you. Vegan for Life!
sometimes they use carob...or cocoa that doesn't have milk in it...here is a recipe from the internet..
Soy "Milk" chocolate - 40% cocoa
I have researched and worked pretty hard to develop this recipe. At this point I challenge anyone to make this recipe, give it to a friend, and see if they think it is at all "different". So far, I have had not a single person think it was anything other than "regular" milk chocolate. Oh, and if you were wondering, I have a lot of requests from people with allergies to milk. This recipe is for them. This is made with a full fat soy milk powder called "Better Than Milk". It is more than just soy powder. I will probably start carrying it, but for the time being, check your local health food store.
This formulation will make almost 5 pounds of "40 % cocoa" "Better than Milk" Soy milk chocolate.
Ingredients
10 oz lb Cocoa liqueur from a well flavored cocoa bean - I like Ghana (14 %)
19 oz Cocoa butter (26.5 %)
1 t lecithin
8 oz "Better than Milk" Soy milk powder(11.2%)
33 oz sugar (47.8%) (powdered yourself, the prepowdered has cornstarch that makes the chocolate gummy)
Proceedure:
Roast the cocoa beans until just cracking. I do this in a drum roaster, 320 F for 15-20 minutes. I like this bean a little lighter roasted, but roast to your tastes of course. Only you know what you like. You might try 325 for 20-30 minutes for a little roasty flavor.
Crack and winnow the beans - you should have about 30 oz of nibs remaining.
Grind in your Champion juicer. Go ahead and add your cocoa butter and lecithin at this time, mixed with some of the trace husk you have running back through.
Place your Cocoa liqueur and butter mixture in your Santha Wet Grinder. It is very helpful to have your solid ingredients warmed up to at least 120 F, including the Santha drum. Slowly add the sugar and soy milk powder into the melted cocoa liqueur while the Santha is running. Run the Santha until the chocolate is of the smoothness you desire. I find 12-16 hours is about right. Your tastes may vary. If you pre-grind your sugar in a small food processor or coffee grinder (about 2 minutes work), you can usually reduce refining time by 3-4 hours.
After it is out of the Santha temper and mold up your chocolate into the shape of your choice.
Place into a cool, dry place to solidify and then unmold, ususally about 24 hours later to be safe. This can be done in a refrigerator if you wish.
Let the chocolate rest for another 24 hours before eating (well, eat it earlier, but it does benefit from the rest).

Doesn't agree with you? Do you not like the taste, or does it upset your stomach, or what? If it makes you ill, you should try to find out why. You may be somewhat allergic to one of the ingredients or something. If you know what it is in Green and Black's that doesn't work for you, you'll be able to avoid it in other chocolate brands.
Tropical Source, Sjaak`s Organic, and Galler Chocolate are some vegan friendly brands. Try the website link to check them out. It's an online store, so they ship to pretty much anywhere.

It is a shame for you that this chocolate doesn't agree with you! I love it!!
booja booja chocs are fab
you can get dark fairtrade vegan choc in most big supermarkets
see the website below
No.
Maya Gold is Vegan, their other chocs aren't. Plamil is surprisingly nice (don't be deceived by the boring packaging). There's also Montezuma. If you really want a nice treat - Booja-booja is the most wonderful chocolate in the universe (but it is quite pricey - not really suitable for everyday). Quite a lot of the nicer Hotel Chocolat stuff is vegan and quite good about marking it for user-friendliness.
