How do vegans eat chocolate?

Insert chocolate morsel into mouth. Let it melt a bit, then chew slowly. Mmmm!
Chocolate is vegan, but many times milk is added to it. For this reason, vegans buy dark chocolate, but they read labels first. Many dark chocolates have milk added anyway, which I can't understand. If a person clearly isn't looking for milk chocolate, why stick it into the dark???? I swear, animal products are added into the stupidest places.
Joseph Schmidt Belgian dark chocolate is really good, as is Valrhona. Whole Foods Market sells a nice variety of chocolates, many with no dairy at all.
They buy dark chocolate.
Well dark chocolate doesn't contain milk, and a lot of chocolate flavored things don't have milk either, like Oreos or Cocoa puffs. There are also a lot of 'milk' chocolate bars made specifically for vegans.
Dark chocolate, though some brands contain small amounts of milk and butterfat.
There are hundreds of vegan chocolate bars though. Most taste quite milky (not everyone likes the bitter taste of dark chocolate, though some brands are quite good).
There are vegan 'milk chocolate' bars that taste like Galaxy chocolate, there are even white chocolate bars, vegan bounties, vegan snickers (Peanut Chews), vegan chocolates with raspberry fillings, vegan chocolate/caramels, vegan 'honeycomb' (fake!), chocolate dipped papaya and mango pieces.
In the UK, there is a company called Kinnerton who make vegan chocolate lollipops and Bart Simpson vegan easter eggs. Plus the company Green and Blacks sells tonnes of tasty vegan chocolate. Both of these are carried by major supermarkets. In each main supermarket, I would say I have a vegan choice of anything up to about 30 vegan chocolate options. A health food shop or online retailer will carry more of a range.

To the lady above, unless Oreos have changed their recipe, I'm pretty sure that Oreos in the UK have a milk ingredient.
With their mouths. Real chocolate has no milk. Only cheap imitation chocolate has other ingredients added. Milk chocolate was invented because it was cheap compared to the real stuff. It's also the reason it became so popular -- loaded with sugars, fake flavours, etc. and cheap.
Vegan chocolate.
slowly, and they even enjoy it.
most vegans eat dark chocolate. Green and Blacks is great.
