Vegan Hank is a gentle soul who has always seen the world a bit differently. From the moment he came home from the humane society, he’s had a soft spot for his friend Mousie, a plucky little mouse who looks just like his favorite toy. Mousie has always been a friend to Hank, so when Mousie shared some truths about life beyond their cozy home, Hank’s perspective shifted forever.
One day, Mousie gathered his courage and shared a serious truth with Hank. “You know, Hank,” he squeaked, “out there in the world, it’s… it’s not always easy for mice. Lots of cats see us as, well, lunch.”
Hank’s eyes widened in surprise. It had never crossed his mind that mice might be seen as food. To him, mice were friends—small, squeaky buddies with twitchy noses and kind hearts. He couldn’t imagine anything different. “But Mousie,” Hank said, “I’d never dream of eating you! I only want to share treats with you!”
Mousie’s words made Hank think long and hard about his choices. If mice like his friend faced dangers he’d never considered, maybe he could do something about it. So, he rolled up his paws and began experimenting, testing one recipe after another in a quest to create the perfect vegan milk chocolate. There were plenty of trials—and plenty of flops. Some batches turned out too gritty, others too sweet, and a few ended up as hard as his favorite toy. But Hank was determined, and after countless attempts, he finally cracked the code.
The secret lay in creamy gluten-free oat milk, blended with a hint of raisin for a warm, subtle sweetness that called back to his love of oatmeal cookies. The result was a smooth, velvety chocolate bar that tasted just like the classic milk chocolate he adored but with a compassionate twist.
Now, with his vegan oat milk chocolate bar perfected, Hank shares his message of peace and friendship. With every creamy, raisin-kissed bite, he hopes to show that a “cat eat mouse” world isn’t the only way. After all, if a cat and a mouse could be best friends, why couldn’t everyone?
