Organica: Vegan Dark Chocolate Bars

The golden coconut bar is really good. I found the dark chocolate but doesn't taste that dark; it's quite thin layer of chocolate and the coconut centre is quite sweet inside. The texture is nice as well. I think it could do with more chocolate around the outside,  maybe use a vegan milk chocolate and for the bar to be bigger. 4/5

In the hazelnut nougat bar the dark chocolate is more noticeable. There are no solid nut pieces  just two layers inside. One is like the nut layer kind of similar to a nut butter and the other is a pale yellow nougat layer. I would be more of a fan of it if it had nuts because it would make the texture a bit more diverse. It's still nice, but like the coconut bar its bit small and i would prefer the chocolate to be less dark. 3/5

Rice Dream: Hazelnut Almond Milk

Original Rice Dream isn't really for me, it's ok and I prefer it in tea/coffee to soya, but it's kind of watery and flavourless. But their hazelnut almond milk is good stuff. Probably not for everyone, by that anyone who doesn't like the taste of nuts. I think the flavour is just right, not too strong or bitter, it's creamy and refreshing. I can happily have a glass (kind of like a mild milkshake), or it makes a great addition to cereal and hot drinks. Once I found a bit of something in it, but i think it was just a nut skin or some kind of something. But don't let put you off, it's a nice fairly sweet drink with flavour.
It also lasts a long time - I had one open for over two weeks before it curdled in my coffee so bonus points for shelf life.
5/5

EcoMil: Hazelnut Milk

I've tried this milk on it's own, with cereal and in coffee. On it's own it's a bit strange, the hazelnut taste is nice, but it's one of those drinks where you're left more thirsty after you've drank some. There's also a mild flavour in there that reminds me of tcp. But don't let that put you off. It's quite nice with cereal, as long as the cereal is a flavoursome one and preferably sweet. In coffee it was ok, I certainly prefer this milk to soya milk, it's just that I'd rather have something else; something sweeter; something creamy. 3/5
