Free Stuff Friday: Chocolate Time! February 15, 2008

I never thought I'd find a vegan version of Nutella (which I used to eat religiously before I went vegan) but then I found Chocoreale on VeganEssentials. I was so happy!

I never thought I would ever find icecream sandwhiches. One day I was in my local Krogers looking around in the veggie section and saw somehting new so I look at it and alas was little Tofutti icecream sandwhcihes! I immediately purchased them and then my mom drove us home. They were kinda melted when by time I got home but that didn't stop me from eating one as soon as I got inside! They are so delicious and I recommend them to everybody!

My partner and I thought we'd never find vegan fish fingers until one day we spotted Redwood's fish-style fingers in our local supermarket! We were amazed because we'd never seen them in health food shops so seeing them sitting on an ordinary supermarket shelf was surprising.

Cream cheese. Oh god. I was dreading not being able to have a nice slice of yummy cheese cake EVER again. My mom always makes it on holidays, a big tradition. I was horrified, until I ordered Skinny Bitch in the Kitch with my street team points. =D I'm so happy I can have my 'Cheezecake' and eat it too!

I never thought I'd find vegan cupcakes. Back when I was vegetarian I always ate them, but once I went vegan I have always crave the product. They're sooo good, I have to keep reminding myself the cupcakes are vegan : }

I wasn't so sure i'd find butter or maragine, all the maragine i had found had whey powder or gelatin in it. But then i found the brand earth balance! its a whole lot better then butter and i recomend it, and my whole family has been using it instead of butter ever since we found it! its cheaper then relugar butter to!

I never thought I would find vegan all purpose glue.

Vegan Whip!!! It's so great! I would've never thought they could actually make vegan whip cream, but they can. Now I can sweeten my fruits with a little puffy cloud of heaven (Okay, maybe a little dramatic, but it is really good haha) I recommend it to all that miss that delicacy...
Thanks PETA2

i thought that i would never find chocolate but i finally found it and marshmallows i made smores and i haven't hade smores in ever they were so good

I never knew that being vegan means not eating meat or have to do anything with animals, except for helping them. (*Cuase i'm just stupid like that) But now i know cuase a few of my friends are vegetarians and are about to go vegan. (oh, and peta.)
And thats AWESOME!!!!

I never thought I'd find a vegan cookie. Well I maybe thought that I would. But oreos? who knew! :| I used to always eat them before I even went veg but I was so pleased to find out they were actually vegan. Now I choose them over any kind of cookie! Now all I think they have to do is change their slogan to "Oreo, SOY milks' favorite cookie" =]

There's a non-vegan brand of iced tea that I was addicted to for a while and was upset when I went vegan and learned that it's not... then I found out the diet version is. Huzzah!

There's too many great vegan goodies out there that I never expected to see. The best example might be a fake egg made out of tofu! It comes in a "shell" and the "whites" of the "egg" are made of tofu. I'm not sure what the "yolk" is. I wouldn't try hard-boiling these things but they are good with toast and soy sausage patties.

HMMMMMM Yummy Chocolate Spread to go on Pancakes (Well us brittish call pancakes you call crepes)

When I first went vegan, I thought I'd never enjoy macaroni and cheese again...and I haven't. But I've found something just as good - better, since it's cruelty free - Mac and Chreese! It's easy, quick, and oh-so-good! Even my omni friends love it!

I found vegan pudding!!!I found it at Olivers and it was soo soo exciting. I bought it and it tests better then regular pudding!

I never knew Oreo's were vegan...they make me happy :D

Once I was at Wal-Mart and it was a few monthes after I had gone vegan. It was in December and all of the Christmas stuff was around and I was getting my soymilk when I said to myself, "I will never get to have eggnog again." Sad right? Well, during our next trip to Wally World, I was yet again getting my soymilk when I found SILK SOYNOG!!! It was like a blessing! Now, Christmas is good again! :)

I never ever thought I'd find a recipe for a vegan "Jell-O," or "gelatin" minus all of the icky hooves and bones and cruelty. But I found the recipe online and it's amazing (and cruelty-free)!

(If you're curious, check it out, here!)

My favorite Christmas treat used to be chocolate covered cherries. I never thought that I would be able to find vegan ones. Then one day when I was at the Christmas Tree Shop I decided to check the ingredients on some chocolate covered cherries and they were vegan! Cella's dark chocolate covered cherries are awesome! The Christmas Tree Shop is my secret place for cheap, yummy vegan foods. Sometimes they have vegan cookies, hummus dip, rice mixes and candies that are accidentally vegan.

I didn't expect to find vegan cotton candy.But I did at veganstore.com.

I never thought I'd find vegan peanut butter cups, then I found this page. ^^

One thing that i never thought i would find vegan is a subsitute for beef jerky, but shopping on line one day i came across "soy Jerky". I didnt think that it would good, but it was great and cruilty free!

Like dude i never thought i would fine a vegan chocolate but than i did i went to www.peta2.com and look at this thingy in the blog here is vegan chocolate lol.

A really yummy vegan butter cream cake. It's on the expensive side, but a local hippie cafe here in Kansas City makes it, along with a variety of other vegan sweets: http://www.edenalley.com/

I never thought I would find decent vegan chocolate.

The most surprising one I've ever encountered is either vegan haggis or vegan caviar--not exactly things I enjoy eating, but amusing nevertheless.

I never in a million years thougth I would find Vegan white chocolate. I used to tease my friends I was a chocolate snob because I only like white chocolate. I never thought I would find a vegan version - one day while looking on Pangea's webpage they had white chocolate - and yes it is vegan! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!=^..^=

I never thought that there was a vegan ice cream! I'm not vegan, but I try not to eat that much dairy, it's just a little hard to be a vegan in my household, so I try to be as good as one as possible for me! Well, I found out that there IS a vegan ice cream! One day, I went to a health food store, and saw it right there! One of the brands is Temptation Vegan ice cream! It's even made by vegans, so its even more delicious and animal cruelty free! Those of you who don't know, you can just find it in a lot of health food markets! You should go out and try it! It'll be yummy in your tummy, and wont hurt those who provide non-vegan ice cream! [[The cows and goats!]]

Vegan ramen noodles... I think it tastes better without the cruelty.

I never thought I would find cute vegan shoes, but Chinese Laundry carries some really nice ones on their website.

When I first became vegan all the chocolate I could find was dark chocolate that was really bitter. I was really disappointed, not that I don't like dark chocolate but its just not the same as milk chocolate which I LOVE!!! After a lot of searching and taste testing, I found a brand that makes "light" chocolate and its wonderful!!!
Sorry I can't remember the name of the brand right now, incase anyone else is missing milk chocolate. I really like reading what everyone else was surprised to find, I found some things on here that I've been missing! Thanks guys:)
This is a great contest idea.

I never thought I would have milk chocolate again.

Duh!--Ricemilk chocolate!

Well, I just now found out how to make vegan jello thanks to Gabrielle! THANK YOU! That is a biggie for me. Before that I was going to say chocolates.
