Jacques Torres Almondine chocolate. I received a box of 12 chocolates as a gift; at least I was able to eat one of them (the other ~vegan flavor was not included in the assortment):

Hello Katherine,

The only two bon bon flavors that can possibly be considered vegan are the Pistachio Marzipan (pistachios, sugar, chocolate) and Almondine (almonds, sugar, chocolate – decoration made from cocoa butter and food coloring). However, please note that because we make products on shared machinery (same machine for enrobing milk and dark chocolate) there may be traces of dairy in these two flavors.

Hope this helps,
