I’ve done the work for you so you can just go out and get them.
A beautiful array of Easter eggs in Tesco’s seasonal aisle. But which ones are vegan?
These are the mainstream ones and Tesco own brand, since I did my checking in Tesco – and I’ve included any that are either vegan or are not vegan but look like they might be – with a picture of the ingredients list showing you why they aren’t vegan. The more you know. Enjoy the easter egg porn. xx
The first of several surprise vegan eggs are the Lindt Dark Chocolate Bunnies, with the brown collar on the bell. They may contain milk. I’m good with that, because the more of these get bought instead of milk chocolate, the more of these will get made until no-one makes milk choc any more.Another surprise, perhaps less surprising but an improvement on previous years, Green and Black’s are offering a mint dark chocolate egg which is another May Contain Milk.Green and Blacks did two dairy free eggs this year. This one is not mint flavoured. Again, it may contain milk. The more “may contains” get bought, the sooner they’ll have to make them in a separate factory.These beauties were the biggest shocker. The ingredients are under a peelable label but I decided to be very antisocial and I peeled that label, to discover these delightful mint chocolate After Eight bunnies were dairy free and vegan (unlike their eggs)! So I bought 4. Their RRP is £2 but they were on half price today.Another picture of these lovely vegan bunny Easter treats.
Those were all the vegan ones I found (with the exception of the Free From ones which I’m sure you already know about).
And the following eggs are DEFINITELY NOT VEGAN (but looked like they might be). To avoid irritation, don’t buy these next ones if you’re after dairy free.
Unlike the bunnies above, these eggs are NOT vegan.Oops! Didn’t realise the ingredients were unreadable in the previous picture. Click to enlarge.These beautifully designed dark chocolate eggs are sadly not vegan because they were decorated with white chocolate.Another non vegan Easter egg which was decorated in white and milk chocolate. Why???Sorry! Didn’t realise the ingredients were unreadable in the previous picture. Click to enlarge.The egg is fine, the dark chocolate crisps are fine, but the milk ones are not.I didn’t realise the ingredients were unreadable in the previous picture (or the last two). Click to enlarge.What the actual hell?? This one from Tesco was vegan last year (I had one) and this year it’s not! Whut??More readable ingredients. Click to enlarge.
These last ones are definitely not vegan and you’d never think for a minute that they were, but they’re just lovely to look at, complete Easter egg porn, so I thought I’d share them with you. Who knows, maybe one day they’ll make them so I can eat them.
I know, it’s fairly simple, it’s Ferrero Rocher in a box. But they made it bunny shaped and that makes me want to have it.This beautiful Easter egg coop is filled with milk chocolate, but it’s a delightful idea, and you could DIY this at home with some dairy free treats or even non-edible presents.This is a 1kg Lindt milk chocolate Easter bunny. Just… wow.For perspective, so you can see just how enormous this Lindt milk chocolate Easter bunny is. Underneath are normal sized Easter eggs.My personal favourite, the Lindt Easter soft cuddly gold bunny, complete with three tiny milk chocolate bunnies hiding in her tummy. I think it’s educational. I’d like it even better if the little ones came in dairy free dark chocolate. So very snuggly…
UPDATE (SUNDAY EVENING): I CHECKED IN THORNTON’S (like, their actual full shop with the cafe and the full range) AND NOT ONE SINGLE ONE OF THEIR EGGS OR EASTER CHOCOLATE TREATS ARE VEGAN. NONE OF THEM.
