Continuing to try out vegan chocolate

vegan chocolate
Last month, we were saying we couldn't find another Supermarket Vegan branded chocolate apart from Sweet William.
This month  Vegan Kit Kat hit our shores and lo and behold in our little Four Square store on the corner, we found a vegan brand called Pico.
Heres what we thought of them.

Nestle Vegan Kit Kat, made in the UK.
41.5g bar of 4 wafer fingers
67% vegan chocolate
Sugars per 20.8g serving size is 7.1g

The aroma is cocoa.  It does taste like dark chocolate and Kitkat wafers.  Nice flavor and not too sweet.  The aftertaste is a slight dark chocolate bitterness with a slight sweetness.  
This tastes like a Kitkat, which is a lot to do with the wafer as much as the chocolate.
It was fine we thought, just like what a Kitkat would taste like to us.

Pico Salted Caramel - Vegan and Organic 80g block
Made in Switzerland
Sugars in 20g serving size is 10.2g
Cocoa Solids 52%
Caramel bits 10%
Bought at Four Square for $5.99

The aroma is dark chocolate and there is a slight melt in the mouth.
It has a distinctive dark chocolate taste with salt. The cacao beans are sourced from Ecuador, the Dominion Republic and Peru.  It reminded us a little of the Green and Blacks slightly fruity, tangy chocolate.  We wondered if the beans were from the same area.
We don't really taste the caramel.
The aftertaste is chocolate with a hint of salt.

We liked it.  This is a nice vegan chocolate.

These were both dark chocolates.  With a  certain cocoa percentage , a lot of darks would also be dairy free.
We are still on the hunt for a nice vegan milk chocolate.  If you have any recommendations let us know.
