I picked up a new tasty treat yesterday. I was craving chocolate, but wanted something healthy as well. Wandering through Whole Foods, my eyes fell upon a little bag of Organic Dark Chocolate Covered Cacao Nibs. Sounds redundant, I know. Isn’t cacao chocolate? That it is, my friend. The purest form of chocolate. Unprocessed and full of antioxidants and bioflavonoids. But if you’ve tried pure cacao nibs, you know they’re a bit on the bitter side. So adding a layer of sweet chocolate to the outside makes them more palatable. And by more palatable, I mean delicious!

Kopali Organics, the company that makes these decadent goodies, has a variety of similar sweets on the market: chocolate covered bananas, gogi berries, mulberries, and espresso beans. Not in the mood for chocolaty morsels? They also have dried fruits like mango, pineapple, goldenberry, and mulberry. All of these items are 100% vegan, 100% organic, sustainably harvested and fairly traded. No sugar, oil, sulfites, preservatives, or trans fats added. All natural, good for you, and good for the farm families and developing communities. Now that’s a sweet treat.
