I bought a really great bar of dark chocolate the other day. It was one of those days when everything was going wrong for me…so my solution was chocolate. I went to Walgreens and found it on the very bottom shelf of the candy aisle. The good stuff is always hard to find, right? Anyways, it turns out that this Dark Chocolate with Deep Forest Mint chocolate bar from Endangered Species is my new best friend. It has a 72% cocoa content and the perfect amount of mint that just makes it refreshing instead of overbearing.
Half of the bar is 210 calories, but I only had a quarter because it’s rich enough that you don’t want to scarf it down.
Here’s some other cool facts about this chocolate: it’s ethically traded which means that workers are given “fair wages and humane working conditions.” The wrapper is printed on recycled 30% post-consumer FSC certified paper. The chocolate is also kosher, vegan, and gluten-free. I really recommend it when you need a treat.

I went right to Walgreens and got this bar after reading your article, and it was yummy, and I love that 10% of the proceeds help save the environment by going to great causes…I will buy these for gifts for my sister-in-laws and girlfriends! What a great treat!
I’m so glad you like it Kelley! Thanks for reading my blog.
