Review: Vego Whole Hazelnut Chocolate Bar

I recently ordered a taster pack from Vegusto full of some of their different no-moo cheeses and meats just to get a taste of what their products are like (post to come, don't worry!) - but I couldn't leave it there. In true online shopping style I just had to scrutinise every category on their online store before deciding on what to finalise. I'd heard aaaamazing things about the Vego hazelnut bars and had full faith in my peers. So I ordered five big ones... Go hard or go home right?!

I never normally jump straight into anything, especially not committing to five of something I didn't even know that I'd like. But can I just gloat here and say that it was the best jump I made as far as dairy free chocolate goes? Because I'm smug and full of wonderful junk food!

The bars come in 150g or 65g individually wrapped (obvs opt for the bigger ones, trust me). And each huge chunk tastes like a creamy, smooth Nutella that literally melts in the mouth. It's unlike some vegan chocolates which doesn't seem to melt at all and leaves that horrible powdery aftertaste. You could honestly pass this onto a non-vegan and they wouldn't know the difference. Not that you'd even want to share given how heavenly the taste is and how *ahem* pricey they are. It's always frustrating to know that if you were willing to consume dairy, or any animal products, you'd pay less and have a wider range. But scratch below the surface, shop around and you'll definitely be better off.

Vego bars aren't too easy to get ahold of here in the UK, at least not without hefty shipping fees. I'd recommend getting them at Vegusto right now because they're running an offer at buy 4 get 1 free in both the smaller and larger bars. Trust me, you won't want to stop at just the one. I made a pledge to myself to stick to one square as it turns out it's fairly sickly, but not even 24 hours later and I'm craving it. Vego, what have you done to me?!

Verdict: 5/5 - absolutely amazing and you should all 100% try if you haven't already. I mean it. Buy some now *dribbles*
