Finding Dairy Free Chocolate

I’m a chocoholic. A BIG one. Before learning about my dairy allergy, I knew the sales people at my local Godiva chocolate store. Seriously. It was kinda sad. (Actually, I had to stop eating Godiva a few months earlier when I found out about my gluten intolerance. Godiva says that all of their chocolates may have gluten contamination, no matter what the ingredients of the particular kind of chocolate.)

Anyway. Finding a GFCF chocolate has proven very difficult. And I’m sorry, but chocolate is a MEDICAL NECESSITY for me. When I heard I was allergic to Casein, I thought, okay, well, I don’t really like to drink milk. Oh wait – I love cheese. And butter. But I could stand to do without – WAIT! CHOCOLATE! I can’t have CHOCOLATE anymore?!?!??! Noooooooooo…!

So now I’m on the hunt for GFCF chocolate – which means dark chocolate – which is fine by me ’cause it’s my favorite anyway. But it seems like every kind of dark chocolate I try is cross contaminated. It may be because it’s made in the same factory – and sometimes even on the same lines – as the milk chocolate. But I need to find some chocolate. Especially with Easter coming up….!

I’ll post back when I find some. (Note: I did find some! Check it out here)
