Comments on: Chocolate and Child Slavery – Say NO This Holiday Season https://www.urbanearthworm.org/2012/10/16/chocolate-child-slavery/ Thu, 13 Feb 2020 14:45:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4.15 By: Urban Earthworm https://www.urbanearthworm.org/2012/10/16/chocolate-child-slavery/#comment-4116 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 14:59:59 +0000 http://www.urbanearthworm.org/?p=589#comment-4116 In reply to April.

I was cannot say for sure one way or the other, but given the fact that their website contains ZERO information about where and how their chocolate is sourced and the fact that it is quite cheap, I personally would avoid it. Most companies who use ethical sourcing practices are proud of it and make it well known and easy to ascertain.

I believe you can use any white chocolate as a meltable/moldable and add whatever color you want. Divine is a Fair Trade brand that has white chocolate. http://www.divinechocolate.com/us/

They are sold in almost every craft and party store for people to make their own candies.
Thanks!

It sucks that even from that list, Dagoba is owned by Hershey’s and Green and Black is owned by Kraft. Hershey’s may end up being certified Fair Trade, but it seems like only the sugar will be fair trade? That survey is awesome. It’s good to know there are options though!
