Endangered Species Chocolate

Product Review

 

 

   I consider myself a chocoholic; I love chocolate more than any guy I’ve ever met. While there have been a few women I have known who share my love for chocolate, none have exceeded it.
   I am a connoisseur, not stuck to one brand, or one type.  I indulge in many varieties as my mood suits me. Light chocolate, dark chocolate, almonds, blue berries - it all depends on the day. One thing I love about Endangered Species Chocolate is the variety. All kinds of nuts and fruit can be found in their dark chocolate selection. But I must report that while there used to be just as many light chocolate varieties available, I have not been finding them at my local grocery stores lately. Usually you have 10 to 15 varieties of dark chocolate and one kind of milk chocolate bar, plain. Truth be told, I like their dark chocolate better, anyway. For milk chocolate, I prefer other brands, though I really do miss the Endangered Species Peanut Butter Brittle milk chocolate bar with the picture of an elephant on it.
   If you’re not familiar with Endangered Species Chocolate, it’s time to learn what

they’re all about. They have an image of an animal in need of our help on every bar. Endangered Species Chocolate donates 10% of net profits to help support species, habitat and humanity. It’s very clear that Endangered Species Chocolate is passionate about conservation.
   The company is also passionate about worker’s rights. Endangered Species is no longer fair trade certified, though they say they are still 100% ethically traded. Money that formerly was spent on fair trade certification is now used to support farmers at the Concado Co-op, where the company sources their cocoa.
   In keeping with their practices of sustainability, their facility is LEED® registered and meets all the requirements of LEED® certification by the U.S. Green Building Rating Council. And that’s not all on the green side of things. Be sure to check out their website and read how committed they are to green practices.
   Endangered Species organic chocolate is not as easy to find as their regular variety, but well worth it if you do. The bars are smaller and more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Knowing the kind of company this is, I certainly don’t mind paying more for any of their products.
