Has anyone tried it? Is it like non-vegan white chocolate?
I use to be totally addicted to white chocolate before I went vegan , so I was excited to see they now have white chocolate products, especially covered almonds, mmmmmm!
I’m not in the US though and shipping usually makes things expensive so I don’t want to order if it’s no good!

Oh man. I want some!!!

I loved white chocolate so much. I don't know why there isn't a vegan white chocolate until now? I think all they'd have to do is substitute cow's milk for soy milk.

yeah, thinking about it white chocolate is probably mostly fat anyway, so the milk shouldn't make too much of a difference!

I think I will wait until they have marshmallows back in stock and order those too :drool:

I tried it.

It is.. addictive. And just as good as I remember white chocolate to be.

I got the rice crisps and the plain chips. Plain chips = Awesome possibilities. Now I can have white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, white chocolate covered pretzels... mmmm..

Since the website doesn't list the ingredients, do happen to have a bag of white chips handy where you tell us the list of ingredients? I have to watch our sugar intake like a hawk and would love to know what's in the white chocolate.

Thanks!

How much does it cost?

Chocolate is so ridiculously inexpensive in the grocery stores here... and I so love white chocolate and milk chocolate. Bummer on me I don´t like dark chocolate, since it´s normally vegan.

Does anyone know how it melts? The vegan baker for our wedding cake was supposed to do a vegan white chocolate ganache over the cake but really dropped the ball and ran out of time to experiment with it. I think someone could really make a nice business for themselves making things with vegan white chocolate. It seems really hard to find.

Oh man...don't get me started on white chocolate. I start eating that and I'll want to start eating sweets non-stop again! I'm not the type of person who can quit after one or two pieces! :sick:

vegan white chocolate melts just fine

white chocolate isnt chocolate, btw
it gets its flavor from cocoa butter

its not very pricey at 3.99 a bag

I just bought one bag of the white choco crispy candies and the non-pareils. They were OK. I most likely will not buy them again. The vanillin (synthetic vanilla) taste was very strong and vanillin sucks. The crispy rice in the candy was a bit chewy, not very crispy. The price was far too high for the product. I think I'll make my own vegan white choco using Chef Deb's recipe, cheaper and better ingredients.

Not according to the packages I received, the listing on the web site, or the taste in my mouth. Waxy and chemical. Chef Deb's the way to go.
