Are Crunchies Vegan?
October 20, 2020
A long-established favourite in the UK, Crunchies are honeycomb dipped and wrapped in a layer of milk chocolate. The question we keep getting asked is are crunchies vegan? Well the quick answer is no, but it may come as a little surprise that even though its centre is honeycomb, they don’t actually contain any honey, the non-vegan part is due to the fact that they use milk chocolate which uses cows milk and hence isn’t vegan.

There are also plenty of recipes out there for you to make and the best part is all you have to do is essentially make the centre section (which is already vegan) and then dip it in melted vegan chocolate, this can be dark chocolate or a vegan milk chocolate substitute.
