Cadbury to launch vegan Dairy Milk alternative called Plant Bar

Product will be made using almond paste and cost double the price of a standard Dairy Milk chocolate bar

It is Dairy Milk but without the dairy. A plant-based version of Cadbury's classic bar is to go on sale in the UK next month as part of a drive by major food companies to expand their vegan ranges.

The company, which used to make much of the glass and a half" of milk in every bar, is using almond paste in the Cadbury Plant Bar, which has taken two years to develop. It said the new recipe provides a similar taste and texture to milk ingredients while offering a hint of nuttiness".
