Soap legend Dr. Bronner's makes chocolate now and it's actually great.
Not only were the Dr. Bronner’s chocolate bars I brought home that day delicious, I’m pleasantly surprised by the ingredients and sourcing practices. Each bar is made with 70% dark chocolate derived from fair trade organic cocoa and cocoa butter, sweetened with low-glycemic fair trade organic coconut sugar, and flavored with fair trade organic bourbon vanilla beans. Any coconut used is also fair trade organic, and all nuts are organic.
It all goes back to the soap, the brand told me. When CEO David Bronner learned that many of the 800 farmers who supply the company’s specially grown organic and fair tradein Ghana also grew cocoa, it presented the perfect opportunity. Suddenly, the company had a path to affordable, fair trade, organic, and supremely delicious chocolate.
Similarly to the soaps, the chocolate’s sustainability and fair trade practices are described on the label. Aside from abiding by fair trade principles—which means that Dr. Bronner’s is paying farmers a set minimum price for their cocoa instead of the fluctuating prices dictated by the market—the company also helps their suppliers practice dynamic agroforestry, which integrates complementary plants alongside the cocoa to create biodiversity and boost yields organically.
These days Dr. Bronner’s Magic All-One Chocolate bars are the ones my husband and I turn to most often. Almost every afternoon I swirl the smooth and rich chocolate around my mouth, relishing the pure cocoa flavors that melt on my tongue. At the end of the day, it’s a sweet deal all around.
