I am a vegetarian. A committed vegetarian. I have often thought of going "all the way" and embracing vegan-ism. One of the only things that has held me back is that I hadn't ever found a vegan chocolate that I truly loved. Not one. Sure, there were some that were not bad but who wants a chocolate that's not bad? I want spectacular. It seemed to me that excellent chocolate and living vegan were wholly incompatible.
That was until I received a box of Missionary Chocolates to sample.
Their truffles are incredible ... as in ridiculously (are you sure these are vegan??) incredible. Perfect mouth feel, gorgeous presentation and deeeeeelicious. My favourite was the vanilla salted caramel but all of their flavour combinations are inspired.
Missionary Chocolates is operated by a dynamic duo of two sisters and every chocolate is hand-crafted. Not only are they vegan, but the truffles are gluten-free too! The first email I read from them had me smitten: "Truffles without heavy cream? Is this possible? Do we even want it to be possible?" Exactly! But not only is it possible - they are quite possibly one of the best truffles I have ever tasted ... not just vegan truffles ... any truffles.
Maybe that's because they've found the perfect way to use organic coconut cream as their base and then pair that with 55% fair-trade Guittard chocolate.
Their mom is a vegan, gluten-intolerant chocoholic so they started making the truffles for her. And now for us too. I kind of feel like I owe their mama a gift for mother's day out of appreciation for being the muse behind these spectacular chocolates.
Missionary's truffles can be bought at many stores throughout the USA and you can also order them online.
And this is what a happy chocoholic (who has finally gone all the way) looks like.

Great blog! I'm currently on a quest for the best chocolate bar in the world! Do you have a favorite I could include at my next party? My friends and I evaluate 10 chocolate bars at every party. Only the "winner" moves along for future evaluations.

That's really a great invention! Vegan chocolate. Our family is vegan, and I didn't know there was any such thing.
I'm not sure what they can put in it to make it taste good, but they look really nice!

Chocolate is still a high-calorie, high-fat food. Most of the studies done used no more than 100 grams, or about 3.5 ounces, of dark chocolate a day to get the benefits.

Missionary chocolates for everyone. They sure are a real alternative to present chocolates. Me too would like to taste them.

How interesting to have tasted a very decadent vegan chocolate. Truffles are always nice to give as a present (even to self!).
Since you mentioned that you are a vegan, why don't you try making your own chocolate treats? You can modify the recipes in this blog to come up with vegan chocolates. -->
