Vosges' Tree Mylk Chocolate bar comes from the Pure Plant collection and it offers a sweet way for plant-based consumers to satisfy a sweet tooth without indulging in dairy. The product is made from a base of cocoa butter and unsweetened chocolate, plus coconut sugar, hazelnut paste, peanut flour and a few other ingredients to create a rich flavor and consistency. The bar boasts the look of dark chocolate and offers a creamy formula that taps into the popularity of alternative milks. According to the brand, the chocolate bar has "strong notes of coffee, without the coffee," as well as a woodsy, molasses flavor.
The Tree Mylk Chocolate bar sets itself apart as a 100% vegan bar from the Pure Plant collection, as the others like Raw Honey Cacao Pod with Coconut are dairy-free yet contain honey.
