Living vegan means avoiding products with animal ingredients. In addition to clothing and cosmetics, the way of life mainly includes food. Because Easter is just around the corner, here are ten vegan chocolate treats for the Easter basket to give away or snack on yourself.
Avoiding animal ingredients is a conscious decision. Vegan people want to reduce animal suffering and protect the environment by not supporting the consumption of milk, meat or honey. While it was often difficult to find vegan alternatives to the classics in recent years, things are looking better in 2022. There are even vegan creations for Easter that are in no way inferior to the conventional version with milk. They are not boring or monotonous, on the contrary, the selection is getting larger and more diverse every year. Ten ideas for inspiration.

Conventional chocolate usually relies on the addition of milk. Vegan products use plant-based alternatives, popular among them: almond, rice, or oat milk. If it is fruit gums or liquorice, the vegan version must not contain any gelatine, nor should the snack be coated with beeswax. Instead, vegetable apple pectin is usually used as a gelling agent.
