You could try to mix chocolate powder with soy milk and sugar for a hot chocolate drink - I know, it's not the same but it might help.

My sister is a vegan and buys milk free chocolates and hot chocolate at Wild Oats. I'm sure that a lot of natural stores will have a small selection. And some may consider stocking some if asked.
Will ask her what she buys now when I talk to her this weekend.
I thought the chocolate syrups didn't have milk in them?
Just started eating vegetarian and slowly on my way to a vegan diet. (For health)

I really liked Chocolate Silk soy milk. And remember that there are some fabulous chocolate recipes on this board. Look them up and dig in.....I'm not a big chocolate addict but I do like some now and then. I'm more a sugar anything and starch fan.

Hi sophie
I dont know if it was you I said to about this before but I'm the same love my chocolate, hate dark chocolate which tastes like your chewing on cocoa powder! The best thing I have found is waitrose plain chocolate, its not bitter and it has that smooth creamy texture of milk chocolate, believe me I understand your reluctance, and believe me when I say I have tried them all and honestly this is the closest thing you will get. One other thing for a real chocolatey hit is the choc fudge brownie pudding thing which was on one of the newsletters, its yummy! I only add half the flour to make it really gooey. Hope all that helps let me know how you get on, oh and one last thing stay away from carob its disgusting urgh, cant believe the people in the shop let me buy it and put it in my mouth!!!

I agree, Silk Chocolate Soy milk is the BEST!! Also, if you can find it, try Tofutti Chocolate "Ice Cream". It's really good too!

Another one that I've had in the past if you cant get the waitrose one is Ritter sport plain chocolate, thats pretty good too and you can order ir off the internet, failing that you could order the waitrose one and have them deliver it or if very desperate make one trip there and buy a load to keep you going a while!!!

chocolate soy milk (someone mentioned Silk I think, which is great)
luna bars - most are made with cocoa powder and soy milk so it tastes like a chocolate covered granola bar but it's totally safe!
ADBs! (antidepressant brownies - search the recipe archive) - these are suuuuuch good brownies and totally safe. they definitely do the trick for that-time-of-the-month chocolate crises!
also on the recipe board Casey (atomic rose) has a recipe for chocolate cake for one (you make it in a coffee mug in the microwave) which is super easy and heavenly. it uses safe chocolate cake mixes and safe chocolate jello pudding if I remember correctly (which are both other options for chocolate fixes! )
also remember that all solid chocolate - even the dariy free kind - is a trigger. but cocoa powder is safe! and there's lots you can do with that.
HTH!

Green & Blacks has a chocolate drink powder that has no milk in it. Also, 100% cocoa powder has noting extra in it(mixes better in hot liquids. Makes good hot rice or soy chocolate.
Look for fair trade brands.

I bought some starbucks hot cocoa mix and it doesn't have any milk ingredients in it either. Just cocoa, sugar and vanillin. Mixed with vanilla soy milk it was wonderful!
