As the saying goes ‘anything you can do, I can do vegan’, and that’s certainly true when it comes to tasty, plant-based treats.
A list of the UK’s best vegan sweet treats has been compiled by animal rights charity PETA.
According to PETA Director Elisa Allen: “From ice-cream parlours to doughnut shops, all our winners make it possible to indulge your sweet tooth while also being sweet to animals.
“As all the compassionate eateries on PETA’s list prove, choosing vegan treats today is a piece of cake.”
