Chocolate is the worlds favourite sweet and can be found in a variety of versions from milk chocolate to dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is thought to be more healthy than milk chocolate [Explain reasons here]

There are a growing number of chocolate bars appearing with the fairtrade mark. However it is worth checking to see what the percentage of fairtrade ingredients is and supporting the make of chocolate with the highest percentage. There seems to be a splits between chocolate bars that have both fairtrade cocoa and sugar and those that just have fairtrade cocoa (though this is still far better than non-fairtrade products). Obviously you will need to balance this with the chocolate you enjoy.

There is also a chocolate bars, which are organic which ensure they are not genetically-modified and are free from pesticides and artificial fertilisers. The best solution is for the chocolate bars to be both organic and have both fairtrade sugar and fairtrade cocoa.

There is at least one organic fairtrade chocolate bar which comes with a wrapper that is made from post-consumer recycled paper.
