A Healthy Sweet Treat

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. Click here to read more

Eating chocolate can be good for the animals

Daily Greenz #67

Foodendangeredspecieschocolatebar The
next time your mother wags her finger at you for eating too much chocolate, you
can tell her that every bite is helping to save endangered species. The Endangered Species Chocolate Company has
now made it
possible for you to be a do-gooder just by sitting on your couch
and indulging your sweet tooth. Their
100% ethically-traded cocoa not only sustains family-run farms in Nigeria and ensures fair wages for the farmers, but 10% of profits are donated to protect the endangered species featured on the wrapper.

Beyond
the Samaritan appeal, their distinctive chocolate is European in style,
offering a dense, buttery,

fruity flavor not found in your average Hershey
bar. And by dense, we’re talking 75%
cocoa content in their dark chocolate bars, packing a wallop in every bite. Bars are available for $1.89 and holiday gift
packs go for $5.25 and up at chocolatebar.com .
