2022 Update! Holiday deadlines quickly approach when it comes to ordering gifts online. So, I’m getting the jump on my best dairy-free Valentine chocolate round-up now. Make sure to order soon if you want your sweet gift to arrive in time. Of course, you’ll still be able to purchase from these vegan-friendly chocolatiers (over 25 of them!) well beyond Valentine’s Day. But why not make someone’s February special?
The Best Dairy-Free Valentine Chocolate To Give and To Receive
This primary round-up includes options available in the United States, and many of them are sold in Canadian stores. Some of these chocolatiers also ship direct to Canadian customers. For dairy-free Valentine chocolate options in the United Kingdom, see the separate list near the end of this post.

Fames Chocolates
This Brooklyn chocolatier has been around since 1948, but somehow they didn’t hit our radar until last year. They are reportedly a completely kosher pareve and milk-free company, but double check for your own needs when placing an order. They do use other top allergens to make their dairy-free gifts, which range from Assorted Chocolate Gift Boxes to Unique Chocolate-Covered Assortments.

No Whey Chocolate
Hearts and roses are a year-round theme with this completely dairy-free, top allergen-free chocolatier. But, their “milk” and white chocolate hearts and holiday-themed truffle boxes are in full force for this beloved season. The head chocolatier, Yochy, usually introduces some new dairy-free Valentine chocolate items every year. But this year, we were happy to see several return items, like those very chic chocolate heels and the two-toned heart lollipops.

Gnosis Chocolate
Gnosis is the oldest, most beloved, raw vegan chocolatier, and I’m happy to announce that they have a wonderful line of Valentine gifts. In addition to stunning truffle boxes, they have a 14 Days of Love Advent Countdown Valentine’s Day Calendar. Gnosis chocolates are certified vegan and organic, and made on their own equipment without dairy, soy, or gluten.

Purdy’s
Oh yes, their vegan line continues to deliver – in both the U.S. and Canada. Purdy’s dairy-free Valentine’s Day chocolate assortment includes heart boxes of those amazing Georgia Browns and Hawaiian Black Salt Caramels. They’re also producing vegan mylk chocolate cupids and some love-themed dark chocolate treats.

Endangered Species
They haven’t begun making truffles (yet!), but Endangered Species has released a special Valentine’s Day box of bars, complete with pretty hearts and deep, dark chocolate, dairy-free flavors. It even includes one of their oatmilk varieties!

For: Dairy-Free*, Gluten-Free, Vegan
Divine Treasures
This Connecticut based chocolatier has been getting a bit more whimsical. Their classic truffle boxes have been replaced with more creative Valentine’s Day shapes and delights. They claim to be diabetic-friendly, I believe because their products are vegan and they use natural, low-glycemic sweeteners. But check with them to be sure – they have great allergen labeling but limited ingredient information.

Amanda’s Own
Kid-friendly chocolates in loving shapes, all made with care in their dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, soy-free, and tree nut-free facility. In recent years, Beth, Amanda’s mom and the company founder, has upped their game with pretty conversation hearts, new molds, special food allergy-friendly teal packages, and even long-stem rose chocolates.

Sjaak’s
Year’s ago, this “traditional” chocolatier went completely vegan, and never looked back. I put traditional in quotes, because Sjaak’s has always gone far beyond the norm with creative flavors and cute designs made with organic, fair trade chocolate. And this year, they have an epic Valentine’s Day collection with all types of dairy-free filled chocolate hearts, chocolate bars, and truffles.

Raaka
This fine chocolatier specializes in gourmet chocolate bars, and their entire line is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and organic. They offer milky varieties made with coconut milk and oat milk, and have special flavors for the holidays, like Valentine’s Day. This year, they’re offering rose cardamom, strawberry swirl, and some ther delights.

Chocolate Emporium
This on again, off again dairy-free chocolatier seems to be back for good, but their collection keeps evolving. You can count on them for beautiful classic heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, but they also have some unique offerings. This year, we’re enamored by their lovely chocolate pop collection with white chocolate peppermint hearts, chocolate roses, and more. As a heads up, this year Chocolate Emporium is not producing a peanut-free, tree nut-free line, like they have in the past.

Rawmio Chocolate Hearts
For your sugar conscious loved ones, these little chocolate hearts are sweetened with coconut sugar, and come in raw dark chocolate, orange chocolate, and mint chocolate. They also have a sugar-free keto chocolate heart option that’s sweetened with monk fruit and erythritol.

Rose City Chocolatier
Rose City churns out vegan chocolates with elegant style. Carefully crafted assorted chocolates or cordial cherries arrive in one of their gourmet boxes (you can choose from several looks). Their chocolates are made with imported Belgian dark chocolate, but be sure to select the “vegan” option. They also make dairy-based chocolates.

Mama Ganache
Formerly known as Sweet Earth Chocolates, Mama Ganache has kept the tradition of producing a line of vegan chocolate. As an added bonus, Mama Ganache uses fair trade and organic chocolate and her vegan chocolate is soy-free (made without soy lecithin!). At our time of review this year, Mama has the truffles shown below in her lovely heart-shaped boxes. Just pick your box of choice and then select the “Vegan” truffle option.

Lake Champlain Chocolates
This traditional chocolatier has expanded their vegan dark chocolate line to include more seasonal options. For Valentine’s Day, they offer dark chocolate hearts, vegan chocolate truffles, plus some other goodies.

Chocolate Inspirations
Chocolate Inspirations is an interesting hybrid confection maker – they churn out creative and fun sweets, but also cater heavily to corporate. They have a core chocolatier underpinning, but they offer a huge array of brittles, toffees, and even “peanut butter pillows” that are dairy-free, along with some pretty Valentine-specific gifts. This year they have caramel heart and peanut butter heart truffles, oreo bark, and more.

Daydream Dessert
They use “nourishing” ingredients to make indulgently-flavored truffles, like cookie dough, pecan pie, and fudge brownie. Their entire selection is dairy-free and gluten-free, while some are vegan and some are paleo. They don’t have specific Valentine chocolate, but their truffle boxes speak to all gifting holidays.

Neto Chocolatier
This small-batch Brooklyn company is dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free, vegan, and kosher parve. And their truffles are positively stunning. Their pretty treats include various boxes, chocolate-covered Oreos, chocolate lollipops, and more.

Monty Bojangles
This British chocolatier makes a vegan line of truffles that isn’t heart shaped, but it does have definite appeal for Valentine’s Day. Their tower includes cocoa berry blush, caramel haze, and cocoa nib nights.

For: Dairy-Free, Vegan
Fine & Raw Chocolate
Everything they make is dairy-free, plant-based, organic, and sweetened with coconut sugar. They offer chocolate truffles and bars throughout the year, but for Valentine’s Day they have a sweet chocolate bar set and a chocolate truffle box.

Lagusta’s Luscious
Lagusta started out years ago with her handmade vegan truffle boxes. As her popularity grew, so did her product line. Today, Lagusta offers a wide variety of truffles, bluestocking bonbons, bark, caramels, and toffees. And everything is still artisan-crafted and hand packaged. Her entire product line screams Valentine’s Day, but with some very unique variations. Let’s just say, this dairy-free Valentine chocolate collection is an experience.

Cococlectic
They don’t have a Valentine-specific box, but this is the gorgeous, high-end gift that keeps on giving. It’s a vegan, bean-to-bar chocolate subscription service. You can read more about it on my Cococlectic Review.

Ethereal Confections
This completely dairy-free and gluten-free chocolatier even has a storefront in Woodstock, IL. But, you can buy their delicious confections from anywhere in the U.S. For richness, they use coconut milk and coconut oil, rather than soy, and they offer a delightful dairy-free valentine chocolate range, from boxed truffles to filled hearts to chocolate-covered cherries with stem still in tact!

Coracao
This paleo-friendly, vegan-friendly chocolatier offers their ‘You Are Loved’ Collection of chocolates. These 100% organic truffle assortments are sweetened with low-glycemic coconut sugar. They don’t provide allergen information on their website, so we’re not sure if their products are made on shared lines. Contact them directly to inquire if you have severe allergy concerns.

Amore di Mona
For the low-glycemic, vegan, healthy, or allergic loved one in your life, I highly recommend this wonderful line of confections. Even though I indulge in “ordinary” dairy-free chocolate, I adored Amore di Mona and yearned for more of their buttery, low-glycemic pure chocolate bar (just 4 grams of sugar in 1.25 ounces!). Plus, this brand is allergen-safe, including peanut-free, tree nut-free, soy-free, and dairy-free (obviously!). And they now have special dairy-free Valentine chocolate boxes just for the season.

Sweet Pete’s
This is another “traditional” chocolatier that also has a line of dairy-free offerings. For Valentine’s Day they always have some vegan goodies. This year, that includes boxes of vegan truffles and assorted gift baskets. Many of their goodies are manufactured in a gluten-free facility, but be sure to ask about potential cross-contamination for top allergens, including dairy, if a concern for you. Some items seemed to have “may contain” warnings while others did not.

Lulu’s Chocolate
Lulu’s shares the love year round but Valentine’s Day is when this “everyday” raw chocolatier shines! Their logo is a heart and it carries over into all of their gift-worthy bars, truffles, and specialty chocolates. Plus, they use coconut sugar to sweeten for lower GI chocolate that we like to think is more “heart healthy”. As for allergens, Lulu says, “We do process tree nuts but never process dairy, soy or gluten.”

Creek House Handcrafted Find Chocolates
This is a small, traditional chocolatier that is slowly being overtaken with an organic vegan truffle line. Most of their products and raves are for the dairy-free selection! They offer pretty vegan truffle boxes like the one pictured below all year.

Oh Nuts!
This isn’t a dairy-free company, but they do have a big line of certified kosher parve, dairy-free chocolate products. For Valentine’s Day, we love the chocolate message hearts and the boisterous non-dairy truffle box. They also offer a few parve sugar-free truffle options! Please note that some of their truffles contain egg white, so they aren’t strictly vegan. But their message hearts and other parve solid chocolate appear to be plant-based.

Miami Beach Chocolates
Hearts and teddy bears are the Valentine’s Day themes at this kosher chocolatier. They do make both milk and parve chocolates, so be sure to order the parve (dairy-free) ones. They offer a great selection of edible heart boxes in addition to some chocolate bundles.

Honorable Mention: Delicacies Lollipops
I know, it isn’t chocolate, but these pretty organic hearts deserve mention. Delicacies makes gourmet organic and vegan lollipops, in small batches, to order. They come in flavors like brilliant Cherry, romantic Champagne, and fragrant Cinnamon Saffron, and you can order any flavor in their sweet heart shape. They arrive individually packaged in a pretty box for the perfect sweet gift. This is a Canadian company, but they ship throughout North America.

* We have good reason to believe that this chocolatier processes their dairy-free products in a facility or on a line where dairy might be present. But always contact the manufacturer when a severe or sensitive food allergy is the concern to discuss their processes and allergen protocols. There are no guarantees when it comes to potential cross contamination with a food allergen!
Dairy-Free Valentine Chocolate Gifts in the U.K.
Those listed above are mostly for North America (yes, many are available to Canadians!), but the dairy-free chocolate options are expanding in the U.K., too. The following chocolatiers offer dairy-free valentine chocolate delights:
- Montezuma’s Chocolate – This is a traditional chocolatier, but they offer vegan chocolates too!
- D&D Chocolates – They specialize in dairy-free and gluten-free chocolate confections and carob treats.
- Moo Free Chocolates – I have also seen this dairy-free brand available from some online retailers in North America. It is a popular line.
- Booja Booja – Truly gourmet truffles for an elegant gift.
- Animal Aid – Another online retailer, but all of the chocolates they carry are suitable for vegans.
Important Notes
Be Allergen Aware: If your special diet needs are particular, please read this article carefully and inquire with the manufacturer prior to purchasing. I have included notes on what “free-from” needs the chocolatiers cater to (including soy-free and nut-free!), and if we’ve read that they use shared equipment in production (see the star note above). However, products, ingredients and processes may change at any time. Always double check with the manufacturer before purchasing or consuming any food whenever there is a food allergy concern.
On Gluten: The above chocolates that are noted as “gluten-free” are made without gluten or wheat, according to their ingredient lists. But, cross-contamination with gluten could be a potential for some of these companies; always double check with the manufacturer on their production processes if cross-contaminaion issues are a concern for you.
Taste: We have not sampled all of the chocolates below. For our thoughts on the ones that we have trialed, see our dairy-free chocolate reviews.

Divine Treasures in CT notes diabetic friendly because they also have sugar free chocolates
Great list! Just to let you know, the Enjoy Life variety bag usually contains one flavor that isn’t vegan because it contains honey (rice milk crunch).
You mentioned that Chocolate Emporium’s business was on again, off again. If I were to guess correctly, they will soon be off again because of their outrageous shipping prices! The prices on the chocolate is reasonable – for example, a 13 pc. box of chocolate is $18.50 BUT shipping is $29.50!! That is shipping within the US. I live in Florida! Then, on top of that, they have a $20 minimum order, so if your order is under $20, they charge a $7 fee. So that $18.50 box of chocolate comes to $53.66 with shipping, tax and minimum fees!! Are they kidding? Sorry- I am not purchasing from this company and I don’t know who would when there are other great companies out there like you have listed in this article. I ordered from No Whey Chocolates, as I have before. Very happy with their chocolate and their shipping fees are $9. Much more reasonable!
Vegan Treats is another great company. They have a “fatally yours” valentine chocolate box that is definitely different from the rest! They also have amazing cakes, cookies, and cinnamon rolls! Their Vegan version of baked goods are even better than the regular stuff!

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this Tiffany.
Thanks Alisa for including Amanda’s Own Confections! I feel honored that you selected one of our products for the opening picture! We must be doing something right!!!
You are always doing things right Beth! And I love this year’s packaging!
Thanks so much! That means a great deal coming from the guru of dairy-free!
Wow, what a list!! I have been opening tabs to each link lol and I have a headache 🙁 so much out there and this is great news to us vegheads … anyways I just want to find a place near me in the Los Angeles area where I can pick up and go. Any thoughts?
Hi Leonor, so sorry for my delay! I believe a couple of these companies are in the LA area and do have storefronts! Otherwise, I would hit up Whole Foods as they often carry some of these brands at holiday times.
So many delicious options! I like dark chocolate and I’m not a milk chocolate fan so luckily it works in my favor except when it comes to specialty chocolates. Thank you for the options!
Fabulous! I hope you find a couple treats for yourself and your family Sarah.
Divine Treasures, OMG are the best chocolates – winning awards as best in CT – This is a must -it is truly the best.
Thanks for sharing your favorite one Donna!
Hi Alisa! Thank you so much for including Allison’s Gourmet in your Valentine’s Day Chocolate gift guide!! xoxo

What great options! Natural Candy Store is a good place too for candies and decorating supplies like sprinkles and natural food coloring. 🙂
Divine Treasures in Manchester, Connecticut offers online shipping of their chocolates. All of their chocolate is vegan and gluten-free. I absolutely love every chocolate that I have gotten there- very unique flavor combinations and shapes. I really like the Egyptian Jewel, which is a pyramid shaped chocolate truffle made with dark ganache, roasted cardamon, nutmeg, and orange peel. http://divinetreasureschocolates.com/
Thanks! I was just thinking the other day that it is a bummer I can not pick from the normal candy box 🙂
Hi is there any chance of a sample please.im gluten and dairy free.
I don’t stock and sell these chocolatiers myself Karen. You’ll have to contact the companies directly to request samples. There are links to all of their websites right in the post!
