Happiness in Plants (HiP) is a new brand by chocolatier and the owner of Love Cocoa James Cadbury, and it is introducing vegan oat milk chocolate bars to the UK. HiP’s vegan-friendly chocolate bars combine a base of oat milk with single-origin cocoa, plus other ingredients to create indulgent flavors like Salted Caramel, Salty Pretzel, Smooth & Creamy and Cookies & Cream.
The vegan oat milk chocolate bars will not only offer a rich and creamy flavor but will be appealing for their plastic-free packaging. With HiP, Cadbury says: "I believe these innovative, first-to-market products will deliver great-tasting oat milk chocolate to younger consumers who are looking for compelling dairy-free/vegan alternatives."
While there are some dairy-free chocolates on the market, these ones are designed to replicate the taste of smooth milk chocolate in a completely plant-based way.
