After we plundered our niece’s Halloween loot, we thought we’d reached the limit of chocolate decadence. But then we discovered a new level of indulgence. And we don’t feel even a little bit guilty about it.

There’s a skip in our step since we discovered that UK’s Green & Black’s organic chocolate bars ($3.89 each) are finally being sold in Montreal. We happily taste-tested ten treats, including the rich dark, creamy milk, and buttery white bars, and fell head-over-heels for the Dark Chocolate Mint (think, an elevated After Eight) and the delicious milk chocolate and butterscotch combination that would make a Skor bar green with envy. We loved that the Maya Gold, a dark chocolate bar flavoured with orange and spices, is the first ever product to be awarded the Fair Trade Mark. In fact, Green & Black Organic is working to achieve Fair Trade Certification for all its chocolatey treats.

We hadn’t realized that our chocolate addiction could save the world….—Jennifer Nachshen
