I was just wondering if this really is okay for us vegan's: QQ La Praline dark almond cluster

According to their description yes.

I don't see why it would be an issue for vegans; For many of us, as long as something is vegan, it's fine. Some might be concerned about health though, but that's another issue.

I prefer to buy 100% dark chocolate, no sugar or other stuff. I don't eat it plain though.

I only really use chocolate in hot chocolate with soy milk, or drizzle a chocolate sauce on pancakes when I have them.

Before you give your feedback, I want to give mine. These chocolates are absolutely disgusting. Tastes like shit.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:

2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

I agree with you as long as this is vegan.

Isn't this healthy? I mean they use organic products. HMMM

What's the taste when it is plain?

Organic doesn't mean much in terms of health AFAIK and buying organic can be problematic for vegans, since organic farming can use manure or bone meal; Better to try buying veganic instead. :D

I personally quite like the brand iChoc as far as vegan chocolate bars go which aren’t just dark-chocolate. They have both “milk” chocolate versions and white chocolate versions which I like a lot. iirc how they make it is instead of using milk they use a blend of nuts and iirc rice powder or something of that like. It’s probably really unhealthy though as it’s full of sugar and fat from both the cocoa and nuts, and the nuts they use I imagine are like most nuts which are lacking in omega-3s though I’m uncertain of that. Still, as long as it’s treated as a “treat”, and not had all that often I’m guessing it wouldn’t be that bad.

I do really wish though that there’d be some vegan assorted chocolate brands with chocolates with caramels, creamy pastes, nuts, and such within the chocolates. Years and years ago before going vegan I really liked the non-vegan brand Russel Stover for these types of assorted chocolates, so I’m hoping a good vegan equivalent could be viable on the market soon.

On the subject of chocolate, I just like plain cocoa powder. Easy to make hot chocolates, goes good in tea and smoothies (oatmeal even if you do it right), as well as a useful ingredient for many things. Nutritious too.
