Although many popular varieties of dairy free ‘milky’ chocolate are often marketed to children they contain more sugar than most types of chocolate. At a time when the reduction of sugar is recommended for good health reasons, most parents are looking to reduce the amount consumed by the family and especially their children. Fortunately this is now possible. A great tasting alternative has been created.

Lots of This None of That is a scrumptious dairy free ‘milky’ chocolate bar that amazingly has reduced sugar. It is also gluten and nut free. A 30g bar of Lots of This None of That still contains less sugar than 20g of similar chocolate. Produced by Plamil, the highest ranked Ethical chocolate manufacturer, Lots of This None of That is made using renewable energy. This revolutionary new bar is the future for dairy free chocolate. The cocoa is certified under the UTZ Certified sustainability programme. Excellart VeggieVision
