Allll over Instagram I keep seeing these Doisy and Dam vegan dark chocolate drops (aka vegan smarties!!!! vegan m&ms!!!!!) and crunchy dark chocolate balls (aka vegan maltesers) so I had to give them a try!
I found these in Holland and Barretts, for 99p for a little bag. Doisy and Dam seems to be a nice, vegan company with good ethics, is corp B certified and is palm oil free. The only thing I don't like is the plastic packaging, that has no recycling info on it, it's no different to many other brands packaging, but I wish it was better.
I love the D&Ds, dark chocolate drops. They're are soooo good! The chocolate is dark and rich and the coating is crunchy and sweet. They're a dark chocolate, vegan version of m&ms or smarties. The drops in my packet were all chipped, which wasn't very aesthetically pleasing, but didn't make much of a difference otherwise. I want to get more of these and decorate some cakes with them, when I was a kid cakes were always deocrated with simple white icing and smarties and I miss that!
Unfortuately the Ballers weren't to my taste. Both myself, and non-vegan-husband put these in our mouths and said 'no!', which is never a good sign. The chocolate is really bitter and the middle is very hard and crunchy and tastes weird, not malty and melty like a malteaser, which is what I was expecting. Ack. Plus you only get 10 in a packet, which would be quite disappointing, if you actually liked them.
Have you tried these? What did you think?
