Vegan Milk Chocolate Bundle
We've been making vegan, plant-based milk-style chocolate bars since 2013. You could say it's become a speciality for us. This bundle includes our vegan milk-style classics, Coconut Milk and Oat Milk. Coconut Milk, our O.G classic, was called called "an actual dream" by Alicia Kennedy for Edible Brooklyn. At 60%, it has that classic milk chocolate melt but the higher portion of cacao gives it an extra fruitiness that reminds us strawberries and cream. We take a similar approach with our Oat Milk, using certified gluten-free oats to create a cookie-like texture that reminds us of chocolate oatmeal cookies and homemade granola. Enjoy 2 60% Coconut Milk bars, and 2 58% Oat Milk bars in this bundle, retail value $26.
While all our bars are vegan, these are an extra special treat.
All of our chocolate is certified organic, kosher, and non-GMO, as well as vegan gluten-free, and soy-free.

Transparent Trade
We started Raaka because we knew there was a better way to make chocolate: from scratch. We use traceable, high quality, single origin, transparently sourced cacao to craft uncommonly delicious chocolate.
FAQs
What does unroasted mean?
Cacao beans are the seeds of the cacao fruit, harvested and prepared by producers at origin. Every bean has a flavor profile shaped by the soil and climate it grows in, as well as the care each producer takes in cultivating and processing it. This fruity flavor is often roasted away in favor of that classic chocolatey note. We love this fruit-forward flavor, and we make our chocolate without roasting so you can enjoy it too.
Is this chocolate vegan?
You bet. All our bars are 100% vegan. Some dark chocolates still contain milk powder, but ours do not. Instead, we make a couple vegan "milk style" bars with oats and coconut.
What does this chocolate taste like?
Every recipe we make is inspired by the unique flavors of whatever bean we’re working with. If you’re curious about a specific flavor, check out the flavor page and the reviews! If you still need help, feel free to email us.
How do you ship chocolate when it's hot outside?
Don't fret, we check the weather before mailing every order. If it's going to be hotter than 70 degrees, we use insulation and ice packs to ensure you receive your chocolate in perfect condition!
