Here’s a comprehensive guide to our favorite vegan chocolates for the perfect S’more! Hate dark chocolate? Love it? Food allergies? Where’s the vegan “milk” chocolate? You’ve have questions, we’ve got answers.

1. Amy’s Andy’s Dandy Candy Bars

Every Veg Head is familiar with Amy’s Kitchen. Their tofu scrambles are legendary. Did you know that they have a candy bar line? Two of the bars are VEGAN! Stack a chunk of a Dreamy candy bar on S’more and live the dang dream already.

What’s rad:

The Dreamy bar is like a 3 Musketeers and the Sunny bar is like an Almond Joy! #Smoresporn alert.
Amy’s is a family owned business with a a ton of Vegan Products.

2. Moo Free Dairy Free Chocolate

I spotted this company at the Sweets and Snacks Expo, and freaked. I tried every flavor! This company is seriously killing it in the vegan game. The caramelized hazelnut nibs bar is my new favorite chocolate for S’mores.

What’s rad:

Tastes like real milk chocolate (made with rice milk) without any funny aftertaste.
Great for adults and kids and anyone with allergies! No dairy, no wheat, no soy.
EVERY FLAVOR IS insanely DELICIOUS and pairs beautifully with Dandies Marshmallows.
You don’t have to travel to the U.K. to find them! Vegan Essentials carries them online.

This company makes delicious dark chocolates and donates a percentage of profits to endangered species organizations. Try their chocolate hazelunut spread on a s’more! It’s LEGIT.
