Vegan Chocolate Hearts
Going dairy-free doesn’t mean you have to give up chocolate! And making homemade vegan chocolate is much easier than you think. All you need is a handful of simple ingredients and a few spare minutes.
While we’ve gone for heart-shaped moulds, you can use this chocolate to make other holiday treats for Easter, Christmas and Halloween.
