For many people, the most difficult transitional item to replace in a vegan diet is cheese.\u00a0 Thankfully, the market is chock full of many substitutes.\u00a0 However, perhaps one of the most noticeably absent, yet-to-be-artfully-replaced-as-a-vegan-version sweet food items is white chocolate!\u00a0 Oh where oh where can it be?<\/p>\n
