DARK MYLK – Plant-Based, Dairy Free Vegan Dark Milk Chocolate Bar

A dark chocolate that eats like milk chocolate

Dark Mylk is our answer to a simple question: can you have the depth of real dark chocolate with the comforting creaminess of milk chocolate, and no dairy at all? At 61% raw Peruvian cacao, it’s softer and rounder than our higher bars, the milky-dark middle ground that wins over people who think they don’t like dark chocolate.

How we make it creamy, without any milk

There’s no dairy here, and no nut milk either. The creaminess comes from gentle plant ingredients working together: gluten-free oat flour and gluten-free rice flour, which lend a smooth, mellow, clean body, and a little lucuma, the creamy Peruvian fruit with soft notes of caramel and maple. Together they give the bar its melt-in-the-mouth feel, the “mylk” in Dark Mylk.

Built on raw, unroasted Peruvian Criollo cacao

Like all our bars, this starts with raw Criollo cacao we never roast, stone-ground below 42°C to keep both the delicate flavour and the natural compounds high heat flattens. When the Oxford Brookes Centre for Nutrition and Health tested five UK dark chocolate brands, ours came out top for polyphenols and antioxidant capacity. We didn’t add anything special to win that, we simply didn’t roast the good bits out.

Sweetened with coconut blossom sugar

Rather than refined cane sugar, we use unrefined coconut blossom sugar, tapped from the flower of the coconut palm, for a gentle, golden, almost caramel sweetness that suits this bar’s mellow character. There’s no cane sugar and no palm oil anywhere in it.

Dark Mylk FAQs

What is “dark mylk” chocolate? It’s a dark chocolate made as creamy as milk chocolate, but with no dairy at all. At 61% cacao it sits between our milk-style and darker bars, rich and chocolatey, yet smooth and mellow.

What makes it creamy if there’s no milk? Gluten-free oat mylk, gluten-free rice mylk and a little lucuma fruit. Together they give a smooth, creamy texture without any dairy or nut milk.

What does it taste like? Rounded, milky-dark chocolate with a golden, caramel-like sweetness from coconut blossom sugar and a soft, creamy finish. Easy-going rather than intense.

Is it a good bar for someone new to dark chocolate? Absolutely, it’s our gateway bar. If 70%+ feels too much, Dark Mylk is the gentle way in.

Is it gluten-free, even with oat flour? Yes. We use certified gluten-free oat flour and gluten-free rice flour, so the bar is suitable for a gluten-free diet.

Is it vegan and dairy-free? Yes to both. It’s entirely plant-based, with no dairy and no animal-derived ingredients.

Is it nut-free? It’s made in a strictly nut-free facility, and every ingredient comes from suppliers who don’t handle or sell nuts. As a small-batch maker we don’t carry out end-product testing, so we stop short of an absolute legal guarantee, but nuts are never present in this product or our facility. If you have a severe allergy, please get in touch.

How should I store it, and how long does it keep? Keep it somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. It stays at its best for around 12 months. We don’t recommend refrigerating or freezing it, as that can affect the texture.

What’s the packaging made of? Plastic-free and home-compostable: a Natureflex inner film made from wood pulp, and an FSC-certified card outer printed with vegetable inks.

Is the cacao ethically sourced? Yes. It’s grown by a cooperative in the Peruvian Amazon using sustainable agroforestry, fairly traded, and wrapped in plastic-free, fully compostable packaging.

What sizes does it come in? It’s available as a 35g or 75g bar.
