Vegans.. help me!!!?!
Answers: I was just recently a lacto-vegetarian which means i dont eat any meat, fish or eggs the only thing i eat from animal is milk from a cow beucase i thought it never hurt cows to be milked but it said on a site i just saw that some cows hurt when being milked, so i have quit drinking milk or eating dairy products now, so i am a vegan now. are there any choclates from cadburys which use soy milk not milk from a cow and are there any choclates that use soy milk not milk from cows, please help. any vegans out there to give me some recipies?? thankss.
Good for you for giving up dairy! You should learn more about how the dairy industry actually operates, because there is a lot of cruelty that occurs, and not just when cows are milked. Their whole lives are filled with suffering, so the more you learn about this, the better you will feel about your decision...
I saw that someone already gave you some good recipes. You could also check out some of your local health food stores...usually you can find some vegan dark chocolate there (just be careful because not all dark chocolate is vegan). Also, you can order vegan chocolate on the internet if you can't find it in a store near you...I like the website www.veganessentials.com. They have a whole section of their site where you can order many vegan chocolate products.
Good luck! Feel free to e-mail me with any questions!
Well they are gonna have to be milked anyways and they go into a machine when they need to be milked.

makes four small 3"x5" loaves or 24 muffin babkas
for the dough:
? cup warm water
1 ? tsp. active dry yeast
? cup sugar
3 ? cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. kosher salt
? cup plain nondairy milk
4 TB plain mashed potatoes
8 TB nonhydrogenated margarine, at room temperature
for the chocolate filling:
one 12 oz. package vegan chocolate chips, ground in a food processor until finely chopped
? tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
4 TB nonhydrogenated margarine, at room temperature
for the streusel topping:
3 TB all-purpose flour
3 TB sugar
? tsp. cinnamon
2 TB nonhydrogenated margarine
If making small loaves, spray four 3"x5" loaf pans with nonstick spray. If making individual muffin-sized babka, line 24 muffin cups with paper liners and (important!) spray the muffin papers with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Whisk the warm water and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Measure out the sugar and sprinkle a pinch of it into the water. Allow the yeast to proof for five minutes.
Meanwhile, sift the flour and salt together, and in another bowl mix the nondairy milk and mashed potatoes together (no lumps).
Add all the sugar, flour mixture, and milk mixture to the yeast and mix on low speed for 3 minutes using the dough hook attachment. Turn the mixer speed up a notch and add the margarine a tablespoon at a time. Mix for 10 minutes. When you first add the margarine the dough will look like a mess, but hang in there and it will come back together into a smooth ball.
Form the dough into a ball and place in an oiled mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free place to rise for 2 1/2 hours.
While the dough is rising make the chocolate filling by combining all the chocolate filling ingredients and kneading them together with your hands until the margarine is completely incorporated. Make the struesel topping by combining all the struesel ingredients and working the margarine in with your fingers until well-combined and crumbly.
Scrape dough from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Press the air bubbles out and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough out into a 16"x12" rectangle. Spread evenly with the chocolate filling.
If making four small loaves, cut the dough into four squares and roll each piece up cinnamon-roll style. Pinch the ends together to seal and place in the loaf pans.
If making muffin babka, cut the dough in half the long way and roll each rectangle up the long way. Cut each roll into twelve equal pieces and place each piece in a prepared muffin cup.
Crumble the streusel evenly on top of each muffin or loaf. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 40 to 50 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350o during this final rise.
Bake muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, loaves for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Variation: To make this dough into a lovely French brioche, add 1 tsp. vanilla to the dough. Leave off the filling and streusel, and bake in brioche molds. Baking time will depend on the size of your pans.
if dark chocolate have more than 75% cocoa then they are dairy free. Lyntt have some like these. but cows have to be milked anyway or they get sick and are in pain, so i wouldnt worry about it
i'm ready to help. you become a vegetarian and taking milk only and on later stage, you left drinking of milk on some reasons stated. About the chocolates, certinly milk mixed even cow milk too.you should not mean each and every cow was hurt when being milked. we are also pure vegetarians for decades. we are taking milk, thereby curd, ghee etc., you can take milk and dairy products. All pure vegetarians do this.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like any of Cadbury's chocolate is vegan except for their Bournville Cocoa, according to Cadbury's website. One option you have is eating dark chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa. If you want a milk chocolate replacement, I know of one brand that uses soy milk. It's called Terra Nostra, and they make a "milk chocolate" with rice milk. Its available from VeganEssentials at www.veganessentials.com . I've never tried it personally, so I can't vouce for it's flavor, but its worth a shot if you don't like dark chocolate.
As someone whose father lives next door to a dairy farming I can fully attest to the cruelty involved, it is not simply about them hurting when they are milked. The issue is about a continuous forced cycle of pregnancies to stimulate milk with the calf being removed each time they are born to the utter distress of both mother and calf. Males are killed within hours or sent for veal. Daughters sold to other farm (so they don’t attach to the mothers) or prevented from suckling by keeping them separate or putting clips with spikes on their noses to prevent them sucking. Then it’s an early death for mom in the slaughter house when milk production falls are dries up due to the stress of it all – they don’t get retired unless some compassionate sanctuary people step in (support vegan sanctuaries). I see this sorry cycle every year.
See this website in dairy here – it will give you all the info

There are vegan chocolates around that taste milky because they use things like rice milk instead. Contact the national vegan organisations; they will give the info on brands and where to get them
