If you're vegan, dairy-free or just really into oat milk, listen up, as Lindt have launched an amazing range that you will love.
Yep. The creators behind THOSE Lindt truffles (we scoff at least 30,420 every Christmas) have launched vegan chocolate barswhich we love!
ALL WE WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS LINDT. 🎵
These yummy chocolate bars are available in three delicious flavours: classic chocolate, hazelnut and salted caramel.
We hate to say it, but vegan chocolate can taste... interesting, however you can trust that the iconic chocolate brand will deliver the goods.
The chocolate bars are made with oat milk, making them free from both dairy and lactose, and no animal products will be used. They're a fabulous pick for any vegan (or otherwise!) but if you want more options, check out our list of the best vegan choccies below!

In other food news, Nandos has launched a limited-edition spice and it's bloody glorious.
Coconut and Lemon sits alongside Mango and Lime at the mild point on the spectrum, but delivers a distinctly summery hit thanks to the creamy coconut which instantly makes us think of sipping pina coladas on a beach somewhere.
Sounds divine.
