Chocolate is one of the most popular and beloved foods in the world. But for many people, chocolate can also be a source of frustration, discomfort, or even danger. That’s because many chocolate products contain allergens, such as milk, nuts, soy, gluten, or eggs, that can trigger adverse reactions in some consumers. But what if we told you that there is a way to enjoy chocolate without worrying about allergens? Well, there is a solution to this problem – ‘free from chocolate’.

Have you already tried other brands of free from chocolate? Have you found that some of them are also free-from flavour or satisfaction? What if we told you that there is chocolate that is free from the top 14 allergens and refined sugar… but NOT free from taste?! In fact, what if we told you that this chocolate has EVEN MORE flavour than commercial, mass produced chocolate?

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it’s not. It’s our chocolate, and we are proud to share it with you.

What is Free From Chocolate?

Free From Chocolate is a type of chocolate that caters to various dietary restrictions and lifestyle choices by excluding specific ingredients. It encompasses a wide range of categories, such as dairy-free, vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, allergen-free, palm oil-free, and organic chocolate. By offering bars that are free from in all of the above categories, Mr Popple’s Chocolate ensures that everyone can enjoy the delightful taste of chocolate while adhering to their personal dietary needs or preferences.

Here’s a comprehensive look at all of the different ways that Mr Popple’s Chocolate is “Free-From”:

1. Dairy-Free Chocolate

Dairy-free chocolate is made without any milk products, making it suitable for vegans, those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance, and individuals following a dairy-free diet. These chocolate bars often use alternative milk sources like almond, rice, oat, or coconut milk to achieve a creamy texture.

2. Vegan Chocolate

Vegan chocolate is made without any animal products, including dairy and sometimes even honey. It caters to those following a vegan lifestyle, ensuring that all ingredients are plant-based.

3. Sugar-Free Chocolate

Sugar-free chocolate is designed for those looking to reduce their sugar intake, including diabetics and individuals following low-carb or ketogenic diets.

4. Gluten-Free Chocolate

Gluten-free chocolate is made without any gluten-containing ingredients, suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

5. Nut-Free Chocolate

Nut-free chocolate is produced without any nuts, catering to individuals with nut allergies or schools with nut-free policies. Nut-free chocolate is made in facilities that do not process nuts to avoid cross-contamination. Please note that, whilst our facility is kept nut free, some of our ingredients suppliers facilities are not guaranteed nut free.

6. Soy-Free Chocolate

Soy-free chocolate is made without soy lecithin, a common emulsifier in chocolate production. It caters to individuals with soy allergies or those avoiding soy for dietary reasons.

7. Allergen-Free Chocolate

Cereals containing gluten
Crustaceans
Eggs

Nuts
Celery
Mustard
Sesame seeds
Sulphur dioxide and sulphites

8. Palm Oil Free Chocolate

Palm oil-free chocolate is a sustainable choice that helps protect rainforests and biodiversity. It offers the same rich taste as regular chocolate, but with an added benefit of being environmentally friendly.

9. Organic Chocolate

While not a “free-from” category in the traditional sense, organic chocolate is made from ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers – i.e. it is free from poison! This makes it ideal for anyone looking for environmentally friendly and potentially healthier chocolate options.

10. Guilt Free Chocolate

Not only do we make chocolate that is free from all the nasties above, but we make it with the healthiest ingredients possible – yes, chocolate that is actually good for you (believe it or not!)

Free-From all of the Bad Stuff, but not Free-From Quality or Taste

Mr Popple’s Chocolate bars are a testament to quality and taste, crafted with the finest cacao beans sourced from ethical plantations. These beans are the heart of our chocolate, providing a robust foundation for the other natural ingredients we carefully select. We blend in gluten-free oat and rice milks in our “mylk” chocolate bars, which lend a creamy texture without the need for dairy. The subtle sweetness comes from yacon syrup (in the dark bars) and coconut blossom sugar (in the other bars), – these alternatives to refined sugar not only taste wonderful but also offer a healthier choice. The inclusion of real, ground organic vanilla pods in our Creamy Mylk bar elevates the flavour profile, infusing each bar with a warm, aromatic essence that’s unmistakably gourmet.

Our commitment to vegan, organic, and fair trade practices ensures that every bar supports a sustainable ecosystem, benefits farmers with fair compensation, and respects animal welfare. This holistic approach to chocolate making results in a product that’s not just good for you but also good for the planet.

Customers often remark that our dairy-free milk chocolate bars have a “cleaner” taste compared to traditional milk chocolate. This clarity of flavour is no accident; it’s the result of our dedication to purity and quality in every step of the process. By choosing our chocolate, you’re not only treating your taste buds but also aligning with values that make a positive impact on the world. So, indulge in a bar today and taste the difference that conscientious crafting makes.

But How can Free From Chocolate be More Delicious than Regular Chocolate?

For several reasons! First of all, our chocolate bars are made from raw criollo cacao, a heritage variety which gives the bars a richer and more intense flavour. Cacao is the main ingredient of chocolate, and the better quality the cacao, the more chocolatey the taste.

Secondly, our chocolate does not use any artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives, which can affect the quality and taste of the chocolate. We only only natural ingredients that complement the cacao and create a harmonious balance of flavours.

Thirdly, our mylk chocolate bars have a creamier taste than regular chocolate, thanks to the use of gluten-free rice milk and gluten free oat milk instead of dairy. These plant-based alternatives add a subtle sweetness and a velvety mouthfeel to the chocolate. The chocolate is lactose free and gluten free, making it more digestible and less likely to cause bloating or indigestion.
