1. Moo Free Organic Sour Cherry Egg
One of the most longstanding free-from brands is Moo-known for their dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan chocolates. A nice twist on the usual flavours, this organic sour cherry vegan egg makes a lovely change and still manages to taste creamy despite not containing milk.

It really does taste like eating fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate.
