I love socially-conscious vendors. People who are in it for more than just a profit, thank you! I’m not going to give up my two squares of after-dinner dark chocolate, so I want to support these chocolatiers with a cause!
With a motto of “the sweetest way to save a life,” Rescue Chocolate (out of Brooklyn, yo!) donates 100% of its net profits to animal rescue groups around the country.
All bars are:
- Organic & Fairly-traded
- Vegan
- Kosher
I haven’t tried these chocolates yet, but their bars called “The Fix,” which is made of 66% cocoa and “Pick Me! Pepper” (mmm… spicy!) are on my list to try next.
Check ‘em out here!
Endangered Species Chocolate (out of Indianapolis, IN) was born out of a desire to make an impact on the growing number of plant and animal species that are disappearing from Earth.
Their darkest chocolate bar boasts an 88% cocoa content (can you handle it?)
All bars:
- Use Rainforest Alliance Certified™ Cocoa
- Non-GMO Verified
- Gluten-Free
- Vegan
- Kosher
- Fairly-traded
10% of the net profits go to support species conservation & habitat preservation.
Seattle-based Theo is proud to be the first Organic, Fair Trade, Fair for Life certified Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Factory in North America.
Their chocolates are:

In Seattle? Go visit them! I’ll bet they give out free samples 🙂 I’m hoping to try their new Congo bars (Pili Pili Chili, please!)
$1 from each box sold will benefit Eastern Congo Initiative’s work with farmers, mothers, and families in eastern Congo.
If you know of other socially-conscious chocolatiers, please share them with me below!
