Missing the chocolates you used to love before going vegan? The Undairy Co. has launched a new dairy-free selection box packed with plant-based versions of seven nostalgic favourites, just in time for Christmas
Christmas wouldn’t be quite the same without a box of chocolates to pass around while watching festive films. But while we’re still waiting for the likes of Celebrations, Heroes and Quality Street to launch vegan versions of their iconic chocolates, there’s finally a new alternative to get excited about.
Thankfully, award-winning British chocolate brand The Undairy Co. has stepped in to fill the gap with its new ICONS Selection Box, featuring plant-based takes on some of the nation’s best-loved chocolates.
From gooey Creme Eggs and crunchy honeycomb bars to chocolate orange and hazelnut pralines, the new collection brings together seven nostalgic flavours, all recreated using the brand’s signature dairy-free chocolate.
And unlike traditional Christmas chocolate assortments, there’s no need to check the wrappers to work out which ones you can eat. Every chocolate in the box is vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.

Seven iconic chocolates, reimagined for vegans
The ICONS Selection Box features 280g of chocolates inspired by some of Britain’s best-loved sweet treats, with a mix of creamy, crunchy and gooey centres.
Fans of classic milk chocolate will find plenty to love, while those who usually make a beeline for the soft-centred, nutty or caramel-filled favourites can get their fix of familiar festive flavours.
The seven chocolates include:
- Original Creamy: A smooth, creamy vegan take on classic Dairy Milk chocolate.
- Speculoos Biscuit: A rich, spiced biscuit chocolate inspired by Biscoff truffles.
- Chocolate Orange: A citrusy chocolate inspired by the Christmas classic, Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
- Honeycomb: Crunchy honeycomb coated in creamy chocolate, reminiscent of a Cadbury Crunchie.
- Gooey Cream: A sweet, gooey-centred chocolate inspired by the much-loved Creme Egg.
- Hazelnut Praline: A nutty chocolate inspired by Quality Street’s iconic Big Purple.
- Truffle: A smooth chocolate truffle inspired by the coveted Green Triangle.
All seven varieties are made using The Undairy Co.’s Original Creamy chocolate recipe, which has won Gold twice in the Free From Food Awards’ Best Chocolate category.
On a mission to make dairy-free chocolate better
The Undairy Co. was founded by Chris Chappill, who began making his own chocolate after developing a dairy intolerance and struggling to find an alternative that delivered the same creamy taste and texture as traditional milk chocolate.
Determined to create something that didn’t feel like a compromise, he set about developing his own recipes using traditional chocolate-making techniques.
The brand continues to develop its chocolate from scratch, with each batch taking around five days to go from production to a finished, tempered and wrapped bar.
With the ICONS Selection Box, The Undairy Co. hopes to bring that same creamy chocolate experience to the familiar flavours many people grew up enjoying, but may have missed since giving up dairy.
Where to buy The Undairy Co. ICONS Selection Box
Fancy getting your hands on a box? The Undairy Co.’s ICONS Selection Box is priced at £18.95 for 280g of vegan chocolate and is available to pre-order now, just in time to stock up for Christmas.
The chocolates are being made and dispatched in batches on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner you order, the sooner you can expect your delivery. Orders placed in mid-October, for example, are expected to arrive towards the end of the month.
The brand says that even orders placed in December should arrive in plenty of time for Christmas, provided there are still production slots available. However, pre-orders will close once all slots have been filled, so it’s worth getting in early if you’re hoping to secure a box.
You can pre-order the IcCONS Selection Box directly from The Undairy Co.’s website.
