Get ready to snack your way through a world of flavour, crunch and pure plant-based joy.

And we’ve had some yummy support from our nutritionist, Emily Foster.
From the bold heat of Kelly Loves Wasabi Coated Green Peas to the irresistible indulgence of Tony’s Chocolonely Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt – perfect for when only chocolate will do. So, whether you’re snacking on the go, settling in for a cosy evening or simply exploring new vegan favourites, these handpicked delights are worth your time.
Tony’s Chocolonely Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt bar is the one you’ll want to reach for. It’s a little bit luxurious, a little bit bold and completely delicious – everything dark chocolate should be. With rich, velvety dark chocolate that melts in the mouth, crunchy roasted almonds that add the perfect bite and just a touch of sea salt to bring it all together, this bar is a masterclass in balance.
But Tony’s isn’t just about colourful packaging and their iconic, uneven squares. Made with Fairtrade-certified ingredients, no palm oil and fully vegan-friendly, Tony’s Chocolonely is evidence that doing good can taste amazing too.1,2 You can take this bar anywhere – it’s made to roll with your day. Break off a piece with your midday espresso. Slow things down with a chunk or two and a cup of tea. Or indulge at the end of the day with a glass of red and one last bite.
If you love a snack that’s crunchy and a little bit different, Emily’s Sweet Chilli Seaweed Crisps are about to become your new favourite go-to. These moreish crisps are made from real seaweed, hand-harvested from the deep blue seas of South Korea, then delicately coated in a fine layer of crispy tapioca for that irresistible crunch. They’re a natural source of fibre and only 98 calories per pack.
Emily’s seaweed crisps aren’t just for snacking straight from the bag (though we wouldn’t blame you if you did). Try sprinkling them over salads, soups or rice dishes for a hit of crunch and flavour. And it’s not just your taste buds that win. As part of 1% for the Planet, Emily donates 1% of sales to environmental charities, so every crunch helps do a little good for the world too. 3
Rich, crunchy and full of character, these Dark Chocolate Brazil Nuts are deliciously satisfying. Coated in smooth, 70% dark chocolate that melts beautifully on your tongue, giving way to the creamy crunch of whole Brazil nuts inside. These moreish bites aren’t just tasty; they’ve got a little extra something too. Our dark chocolate Brazil nuts are made with friendly bacteria (Bacillus Coagulans) too. They’re a clever way to snack while still feeling like a proper treat.
Perfect for those mid-afternoon cravings, these chocolate-coated Brazil nuts make a brilliant post-lunch sweet treat at your desk or a handy snack to keep tucked away in your bag for busy days. Feeling fancy? Pop a few in a bowl with fresh strawberries or raspberries for a sweet and satisfying afternoon nibble.
Who says supporting your skin health can’t taste amazing? The Jade & Joy Vegan Collagen Protein Bar in Caramel Blondie proves that wellness and taste can absolutely go hand in hand. Imagine a soft, protein-packed base topped with a golden swirl of sweet caramel, all wrapped in a smooth, creamy white chocolate coating and finished with a delicate sprinkle of crispies for that perfect crunch…
Formulated with a collagen-building amino acid profile and plant-based ingredients, each bar is created with thought and love. “Containing 15g of plant protein to support muscle maintenance and 2500mg of vegan collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, it’s designed to help support your body’s natural collagen production from the inside out,” adds Emily.
Made from real, wholesome ingredients and free from gluten, dairy and anything artificial, these vegan crackers prove that simple really can be delicious. Each crunchy bite brings together sprouted green buckwheat, dried tomatoes, herbs and the plant-based protein from peas – creating a balanced, savoury flavour with a hint of natural sweetness from the tomatoes.
“Packed with plant-based protein, which supports muscle health, as well as fibre,” says Emily. “You can enjoy them alongside soups or salads for a little extra crunch, or keep a pack handy for a protein-rich, on-the-go nibble.”
Here’s a little something for when you fancy a snack that tastes as good as the crunch – The Beginnings Almond Cookies are the confirmation that simple ingredients can still taste utterly delicious.
Emily explains, “Each bite brings together the gentle nuttiness of almonds with a subtle mix of sunflower seeds, flaxseeds and chia seeds, to provide a good source of dietary fibre to help you reach your fibre goals.” Not to forget the herbs and spices – creating a delicate balance of flavour that’s both satisfying and moreish. They’re also low in sugar and completely free from gluten, dairy and eggs.
Fall in love with these fluffy little treats – Free From Fellows Mini Pink & White Vanilla Mallows are every bit as soft, sweet and squishy as you’d hope. Whether you’re toasting them over the BBQ with friends, melting them into hot chocolate on a cosy evening or nibbling a handful straight from the bag, these mallows are made for sharing – or savouring all to yourself.
These delightful vegan mallows contain natural colours and flavours and their smooth vanilla taste and classic pink-and-white look make them as charming as they are delicious.
Looking for the ultimate way to turn a quick nibble into a bold, flavour-packed moment?
These little green gems might look innocent enough, but don’t be fooled – the wasabi coating brings just the right amount of fiery heat to wake up your taste buds. It’s that perfect balance of crunch and spice that makes you reach for just one more handful (and then another). Inspired by a classic Japanese favourite, they’re a fun twist on snacking that delivers both taste and texture in every bite.
And it’s not all about the zing. “These wasabi peas are naturally rich in fibre – ideal when you need a snack that’s as nourishing as it is moreish. What’s more is that they contain no artificial flavours or palm oil,” says Emily. So, go on – kick your snack time up a gear.
If you’re the kind of person who believes chocolate should be an experience – not just a treat – then Vego Fine Hazelnut Gianduja Hot Chocolate Melts are about to become your new favourite indulgence. Drop a few into warm milk (or your favourite plant-based alternative) and watch as they slowly swirl into a silky-smooth, decadent hot chocolate that feels like a proper hug in a mug. Or, if you fancy getting creative, melt them down for baking – they’re perfect for adding a touch of nutty luxury to brownies, cookies or desserts that deserve something a little special.
Cheerful little bears that prove you don’t need sugar to enjoy something seriously tasty. Bursting with juicy lemon, apple, orange and cherry flavours, they’re every bit as fruity tasting and delicious as you’d hope.
As a little treat, these gummies hit the spot every time. They’ve got that classic chewy texture you know and love and they’re completely gluten-free, gelatine-free and suitable for both vegans and vegetarians – so everyone can join in the fun. “A great choice for those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth while reducing sugar intake. While they should still be eaten in moderation, these gummies deliver the enjoyment of a sweet treat but sugar-free,” says Emily
