Sometimes you’re looking for that rich, creamy milk chocolate taste – without the dairy.
We have created a special category for “Milk” Chocolate bars to recognize the fast-growing (and fast-improving) category of dairy-free, plant-based milk alternatives utilized to achieve the traditional dairy-milk chocolate flavor and texture.
2022 Winners: PLAYin CHOC- Organic Peruvian Cacao M.lk Chocolate, Sonoma Chocolatiers- Double Cherry Hazelnut Bar, Lulubee Artisanal Chocolates- Artisanal Chocolates Strawberry Rhubarb Bonbon, Solkiki Chocolate Maker- Cashew Milk 49
Our most heavily weighted metric. Each bar is evaluated on the depth, complexity, length, and balance of flavor.
Each bar is evaluated on both its packaged and unpackaged appearance to determine whether the bar compels tasting.
Each bar is evaluated on the texture, mouthfeel, flavor delivery, and melting properties.
Each bar is evaluated on its aromatic notes and whether the bar exudes a strong, enticing, and clear chocolate fragrance which compels and complements tasting.
