With chocolate bunnies, sugary chicks, and cream-filled eggs galore, Easter is a candy lover's dream, right up there with Valentine’s Day and Halloween. But, unlike those other holidays, no romantic entanglements or clever costumes are required to chow down on these cute critter-inspired confections.
Whether you’re trying to dial back your dairy consumption and dabble in plant-based alternatives, or are a years (or even decades!) long vegan, there are many opportunities this Easter to indulge in kinder, animal-free alternatives to traditional chocolate and candy classics.
This Easter, we put together an Easter Chocolate Bundle that features our classic Mylk and signature Chocolate Crunch bars, YumEarth Bunny Gummies, Jelly Bean Snack Packs, and a vegan fudge brownie from Greyston Bakery. Accompanied by a trio of recycled plastic Easter eggs, these cheerful chocolatey kits quickly flew off our virtual shelves and sold out!
But if you’re anything like us and always crushing on delicious dairy-free chocolate, you’re on the hunt for even more Easter treats. So, feed your sweet tooth and hop over to these eight additional vegan Easter bunny-approved candies and chocolates.
We think you’re going to need a bigger basket!

I agree Hanukkah gelt would be great! I love all the products I have tried so far. I just wish you could get them stocked in stores locally as the cost plus shipping makes it’s something I can only buy once in a while. You guys should go on Shark Tank! At Wholefoods, Kroger, basically retail, you guys would make a killing, and could bring the price down for us so we could eat more of your delicious candy!
Hi, it is great that you are promoting vegan Easter chocolates, but Chanukah gelt is a huge part of the 8 day Celebration of Chanukah for the Jewish people, and there is not a vegan mylk chocolate coin to be found… dark chocolate is parve, meaning dairy free, but there are often unhealthy additives… can you make vegan Chanukah gelt?
