Whether you’re looking for treats to delight kids on an Easter hunt, decorating Easter nests or cakes, or just want to indulge in the spirit of the season, vegan mini eggs are the perfect bite-sized treat.
Small enough to hide easily, but bursting with flavour, and – best of all – free from dairy, our egg-citing picks are perfect for a kind, nostalgic Easter.
Here’s where to buy vegan mini eggs in the UK.

How to Use Vegan Mini Eggs
When it comes to vegan chocolate, more is more, but while giant vegan Easter eggs are wonderful, the beauty of mini eggs is that they also make adorable additions to Easter baking.
Add colour to your brunch table with this mini-egg-topped doughnut recipe from Sweet Freedom, or enlist the kids to craft some adorable chocolate nests.
Why Choose Dairy Free?
Mother cows don’t make milk so that we can have dairy chocolate; they make milk for the same reason we do – to nourish and bond with their babies!
For us to take their milk, cows on dairy farms are repeatedly and forcibly impregnated. Like us, they carry their babies for 9 months, but, for us to steal cows’ milk, calves are removed from their mothers shortly after birth, leaving their mums to bellow in anguish.
If the calf is female, she will likely follow in her mum’s sad footsteps. If male, he will likely be slaughtered for veal. When their milk production drops, cows used for dairy are slaughtered.
Choosing vegan Easter eggs means taking a delicious stance against cruelty and oppression.
