A dairy-free white chocolate Easter egg with buttons. Celtic and their sister brand Choices have a monopoly on the dairy-free Easter section in Holland and Barrett stores, but it's a fine selection they offer so we're not complaining. Vegans can waltz in to a H&B and choose milk, dark or white chocolate eggs this year - is this a first? We naturally opted for the most exotic choice... the white chocolate egg:
You get the egg, which is pretty small, plus a little bag of 10 white chocolate buttons. When we say small, you might be misled by the photo, but those are regular sized buttons and this egg is only 9cm tall (that's 3.5 inches for our US readers...).
The white chocolate is a recipe that's a little different than those we've tested before. There's no soya flour or lupin flour in there, only maize flour (we assume the yellow stuff rather than cornstarch). The taste is sweet, mild, creamy and pretty good. Kids (and grown ups) with a sweet tooth will be in Easter egg heaven.
Verdict: A bit of 'all white'.
Veganoo Score: ★★★★☆

I got this egg last year for Easter and I loved it. It's a pity that Celtic don't put out more vegan white chocolate products.
