Booja Booja have been making vegan truffles for years now (I don't know how long exactly, but a while). You wouldn't know they were vegan at all when you eat them. Most excitingly they have a new range of super-fresh truffles coming out that must be kept chilled and these are made using agave syrup/nectar instead of sugar. So they are incredibly good for you. Kudos to them. You can get them in all good department stores in the UK, and some smaller food retailers as well.
Zotter I was alerted to early this year by Will of the market stall in Cabbages and Frocks. I am told they have been making chocolate for years, which would explain why they have such an enormous range. It is very experimental - chocolate and bacon bits, peanut and ketchup. Not all of the flavours are quite so wacky though! One of the really interesting flavours available to taste was a white chocolate bar where instead of using milk powder the chocolatier subsitituted raspberry powder. So it was intensely raspberry-flavoured, and dairy-free to boot. Awesome. You can buy them in Harvey Nichols and some delis around London.

Hi Jennifer!
What a great blog you have!
A friend and I are writing a master thesis about gourmet chocolate this year, and we want to take a "study tour" to London to taste, experience and get some ideas about the "chocolate market" in London.
We loved your blog, and are contacting you because you might have some good references/ideas for places for us to visit?
Hope you have the time to help us. You can contact me at my blog aasetwb.blogspot.com or at mail aasetwb@hotmail.com
Thank you!
Best regards,
Camilla and Aase
