Score: 82/100

Created using orange oil, the zesty aroma of this chocolate is powerful and instantly recognisable. It’s creamy in texture with cocoa notes and a hint of salt, while small honeycomb pieces add crunch and bursts of caramel sweetness.

Score: 82/100

A gorgeously creamy hazelnut chocolate made with sustainable ‘naked’ oats, testers found this the closest to its dairy counterpart. Melt-in-the-mouth with a well-rounded nuttiness, it’s a great choice for Nutella fans.

Score: 78/100

Rich and biscuity, this bar doesn’t have a strong cocoa aroma, but it is a blonde chocolate so that’s to be expected. It's creamy in texture, and its distinct sweetness is tempered by the crunchy almond pieces.

Score: 78/100

This chocolate’s intense sugary sweetness is balanced by cocoa and a nutty almond flavour. Creamy in texture and soft to bite into, some testers did find it a little too sugary, so this is definitely one for sweet tooths.

Score: 76/100

With notes of vanilla, this classic ‘milk’ chocolate bar also contains almond paste, giving it a slightly nutty flavour. Sweet but not too sugary, some testers did find the smooth, soft texture a touch claggy, but that’s down to personal taste.

Score: 76/100

Rich and syrupy sweet in flavour with a hint of bitterness, expect a fresh, nutty aroma from this bar with notes of cocoa. A good choice if you’re after a sweetened, dark vegan chocolate you can easily pick up on your weekly shop.

Score: 71/100

Sweet with notes of biscuit, toffee and cream, this has an instantly recognisable cookie dough flavour. Our testers enjoyed it overall, although some were a little disappointed by the lack of chocolate hit.

Score: 70/100

A blend of smooth, hazelnut paste and rich cocoa, this vegan chocolate bar from Galaxy has a sweet, nutty flavour. It’s smooth and creamy, but some testers found it too sweet – so possibly not one for more mature chocolate palates.
