7 Vegan Chocolate Snacks You Can Buy, DIY, & Overall Enjoy

by Samantha Darby

If you’ve chosen a vegan lifestyle, then you already know how committed you have to be when it comes to planning your menus and finding new favorites to eat. If you’re just becoming vegan, it may be totally overwhelming. I’ve tried going vegetarian a couple of times, but while I could nail a great veggie dinner, it was always the snack options that stumped me. You get pretty tired of cheese, you know? So I imagine finding vegan snacks is twenty times harder, especially if you’re wanting a great treat like some vegan chocolate snacks.

Desserts? That’s a whole different type of treat. You can’t help those random cravings for something chocolatey, am I right? And sometimes a cupcake or big chocolate bar is just too much. Instead, you want something you can eat by the fistfuls, or something savory with a bit of chocolate thrown in. Snacks may seem like a fairly easy thing to whip up, but if you’re trying to follow the diet of a vegan, you can find yourself in a pickle. (A chocolate pickle?) Luckily, these vegan chocolate snacks can satisfy your sweet tooth while maintaining your food lifestyle. With a mixture of snacks you can buy in the store and snacks you can whip up at home, you’re sure to find a new favorite.
