Description
Vegan Caramel Chocolate Bar With a Chewy, Gooey Centre
Loco Love Classic Chewy Caramel is the simplest flavour in the range and a good place to start. A lusciously chewy, gooey caramel centre is wrapped in dark chocolate and lifted with real vanilla bean. It is a vegan caramel chocolate bar made without dairy or refined sugar, sold as a carton of ten 35g bars.
What Is Inside the Bar
Most caramel gets its richness from butter and cream. This one uses coconut milk, brown rice syrup and coconut blossom sugar instead, with organic cacao paste and cacao butter in the chocolate. It also includes plant-based collagen (2.8%), which is listed on the label as broccoli juice extract and carrot juice extract, along with safflower petals, vanilla bean and Australian sea salt. Most ingredients are organic.

Flavour and Texture
If you like a soft, chewy caramel rather than a crunchy or nutty bar, this is the one. The caramel is gooey and soft, the dark chocolate adds a bittersweet edge, and the vanilla keeps it smooth. There are no nuts in the recipe, which makes it the plainest option in the Loco Love range.
How It Fits Into Your Routine
Each bar is individually wrapped, so a carton is easy to spread across a few weeks. Keep one at your desk for a mid-afternoon break, pack one for a hike or road trip, or enjoy one after dinner as a planned sweet treat. A carton also makes a thoughtful gift for friends who eat dairy free.
If you want to try other flavours, the Salted Caramel Shortbread bar adds a crumbly gluten-free shortbread layer, while the Peanut Butter Caramel bar adds crunchy peanut butter. Looking for more plant-based sweets? Our guide to vegan lollies at Coles and Woolworths is a useful read.
Who It May Suit
This bar may suit people who avoid dairy or refined sugar and want a classic caramel flavour. It is still a treat, so check the nutrition panel in the product images and speak with your healthcare professional if you follow a medical diet.
Allergen Information
