Christina One of the sweets that cannot be missed during Christmas time for Spaniards is Turrón. And well I am from Spain and no matter where hubby and I live I’ll always miss it. So, this year I decided to make my very own homemade Vegan Crunchy Milk Chocolate Spanish Turrón and it’s to die for delicious! You need to try it! So crunchy and good, made with homemade vegan milk chocolate. Accompany this delicious turrón de chocolate by another one of our newest creations, our Homemade Vegan Chai Spiced Baileys. This combo is a dream!
Turrón is the Spanish candy most commonly associated with Christmas in Spain. It’s not easy to find outside of Spain and basically impossible to find it vegan anywhere. We have seen it in some shops in Spain, but sadly extremely overpriced. Our version is so much more affordable and so easy and delicious that you won’t feel the need to buy store-bought ever again!
This easy Vegan Crunchy Milk Chocolate Spanish Turrón takes less than 15 minutes and is made with only 5 ingredients: chocolate, cacao butter, coconut milk powder, vegan unsalted butter block, and puffed rice cereal. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 500 g semi-sweet vegan baking chocolate

Instructions
- In a double boiler, melt the chocolate, cacao butter, and butter or coconut oil.

Hi!
I’m Latino, so I’m pretty well acquainted with turrón. In fact, I miss it loads.
I really want to try this recipe, however, I’m not sure if I should halve it or not (I live alove)— how long do you gather this would last in the fridge? Could it be frozen for later?
Thank you!!
Hi Nick! 🙂
We are only 2 people here and the turrón lasted in the fridge for 2 weeks! We have never frozen it so I’m not sure about that. We honestly had to stop ourselves from eating it all at once! You could also try and make only half the recipe, yes!
Hope you’ll like it. Have a nice day!
Awesome!
I’ll definitely be trying this.
Thank you!!
Have a great week!
Amazing! Have you tried it yet? 🙂
Have a great week too!
Oh my gosh, this was so delicious! I will be making this over and over again!
This recipe was so easy to make but felt so fancy when we were enjoying it! Really tasty dessert!
