Each year, around March, I eagerly scan the ingredients list of every new Easter egg I spot at the supermarket. The thrill is real when I find an Easter egg made with dark chocolate! Sure, 99% of the time, “milk” pops up on the list, but I keep searching for those accidentally vegan gems. Read on for a roundup of vegan Easter treats I’ve discovered in NZ - and I’ll keep updating as I find more!
