It’s hard to find a reason not to indulge in this Organic and Fair Trade Nib Brittle Dark Chocolate Bar from Theo Chocolate. Dieters can rejoice that dark chocolate has been given the green light as a super food with super health benefits. Studies have shown it can help lower blood pressure, increase free-radical fighting antioxidant levels (thank you flavanols),  improve skin texture and boost it’s resistance to UV rays.

And greenies get to feel good about Theo Chocolate’s confections, too. This bar from the 3400 Phinney collection has a 65% cacao content and contains organic roasted cocoa nibs in sweet and crunchy brittle. Sounds delicious, right? Even more important, it’s made from organic Fair Trade certified cocoa beans from Central America. Choosing organic chocolate is a great idea because you can enjoy your sweet treat knowing that pesticides weren’t used to grow the cocoa beans. Besides pesticides, the other problem surrounding the chocolate industry is poor labor conditions. Slavery, child abuse and otherwise cruel labor conditions have been reported throughout African cocoa farms. So indulging in Fair Trade Certified chocolates guarantees that your chocolate is being produced under fair labor conditions. All health and eco benefits aside, the packaging is nothing short of adorable and makes it the perfect treat if you’re looking for green gifts. Go ahead, indulge!
