Make your own nostalgic vegan chocolate bars – we’ve got 11 delicious ideas to try

Many of us will have grown up tucking into Snickers and Mars bars, and whilst we have more vegan chocolate on offer to us than ever before, sometimes we miss the tastes and textures of our old favourites.

Thankfully many of the most popular nostalgic chocolate bars you’ll find in shops across the UK are simple to recreate at home using a vegan recipe.

Whether you’re a caramel fan or go nuts for nutty bars, here are some delicious recipes for homemade vegan chocolate bars you can make at home.

1. Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Bars

2. Vegan Crunchie Bar

Despite the name, honeycomb is not made from either honeycomb or honey. The classic Cadbury Crunchie bar gets a vegan makeover in this 5-ingredient recipe that tastes just like the original.
