Vegan White Chocolate Bars

Many commercial white chocolate bars contain dairy and bad oils, but if you make your own at home, you can do so with quality ingredients and I think they taste even better!  These ones happen to be vegan, and you can customize them with other flavors if you like!  They would be perfect for upcoming Valentine’s Day!
