Emmy's Chocolate Macaroons, Superfood Cereal Cacao Crunch, and Cashewtopia Chocolate "Ice Cream"

I took another trip to Organic Avenue and stocked up on some vegan things:

Here is some foreshadowing: this was a successful trip.

The superfood cereal was great.  It was basically just very chocolatey granola.  I poured the giant bag down my throat in one afternoon.

The macaroons were really good too.  Not quite as good as the Hail Merry ones, but given that I don't love macaroons and that I really enjoyed these, that says a lot.

Lastly, the Cashewtopia-brand vegan ice cream... I'm going to say it was the best vegan chocolate ice cream I've ever had.  I have a longstanding preference for sorbet over ice cream or gelato, so I always vote vegans go that route, but if you want something creamy, this was really excellent.

Bottom Line: At this point, there is absolutely no reason a vegan needs to settle for chocolate bars.  Excellent options abound.

Hail Merry Chocolate Macaroons

I previously reviewed Hail Merry's chocolate mint tart, and it was great.  Something that is less surprising to be both good and vegan is the chocolate macaroon:


Well, unless you are me, and not the biggest fan of macaroons.  Well I will say that these are some of the best macaroons I've ever head.  Period.

Bottom Line: Great if you are not a macaroon fan.  I don't know how they'd be if you are a macaroon fan, but I'm going to guess something like "transcendent."
