Notes
I used Guittard extra dark chocolate chips. Not sure if those are really vegan, but I wasn't too worried about it in this case. For the maple syrup, I used a really mild tasting brand (Maple Grove) and for the milk, I used almond. These were very easy to throw together, but a food processor or blender is necessary.
