Our Crowdfunding Campaign
Update: We are currently experiencing a delay in production. Our best estimate is that production will begin in July and the first round of pre-orders will begin to ship in August. However, please note that there is still the possibility of further delay as we work to overcome obstacles.
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and patience! It's because of you that we're bringing these delicious chocolates into the world. Nobody has ever veganized these products before now and we're learning through experience just how difficult it is, but we are SO close to securing our production timeline. We can almost taste the delicious vegan mylk chocolate waiting for us on the other side! Take care in the meantime, and keep an eye out for more updates soon by subscribing to our newsletter at the bottom of this page and following us on social media (@trupotreats on all platforms).
Who is Trupo Treats?
We're a small vegan milk chocolate company currently operating out of New York, NY! Our journey started last July when we launched a Kickstarter for our Vegan Rice Crunch bar. After the success of that campaign, we sold our Vegan Rice Crunch bars for the past 9 months. This crowdfunding campaign marks the launch of our new and improved Vegan Rice Crunch bar plus 3 new Vegan Mylk Chocolate bars, taking inspiration from the iconic milk chocolate brands you already know.
Trupo Treats is owned by 22-year-old twins Brian and Charlie Trupo, AKA the Veggie Brothers. Brian just graduated in December 2020 with a Master’s of Science in Entrepreneurship from the University of Florida (go gators) and runs Trupo Treats full time now in New York City. Charlie is currently completing his Bachelor's degree of Environmental Science in Scotland.
We stand out from the other companies because of our ethos. Our goal is to create the most ethical, sustainable, and delicious chocolate possible. We are the chocolate company for the people, animals, and planet!
Our Mission
FOR THE PEOPLE
Our chocolate is fairly traded using direct trade cacao from Mother Jungle Herbs, a Food Empowerment Project recommended supplier that sources cacao from a collective of 70 Peruvian families. This ensures that our chocolate is free from the exploitation of humans and animals. Trupo Treats is also officially on the Food Empowerment Project recommended list.
FOR THE ANIMALS
Our chocolate is vegan, which means that it's free of animal suffering. We donate at least 10% of annual profits to animal sanctuaries across the United States, and we'll even be donating 25% of profits to our partner animal sanctuaries during most of this campaign (more info at bottom). In our 9 months of operation, we have donated over $5,500 to our sanctuary partners.
FOR THE PLANET
Our chocolate wrappers will be compostable. We are doing everything in our power to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

This classic vegan milk chocolate bar is all sweetness and simplicity. Crafted from the same fairly-traded cocoa as Trupo Treats’ other vegan milk chocolates, biting into this bar is pure bliss.
