We love chocolate here at Delicious Living, but that’s not just because it tastes so sweet (or bittersweet) or because it’s loaded with antioxidants that may help boost brain and heart health. Many of our favorite companies are also dedicated to producing organic and fair trade chocolates, giving you all the more reason to indulge in one of these editors’ top picks.

Made from organic Caribbean cocoa trees, Chocolove offers two varieties of organic bars (Organic Dark Chocolate Bar 73 percent cocoa and Organic Dark Chocolate Bar 61 percent cocoa) in addition to its tasty classic collection, including our latest favorite—almond and sea salt. Plus, you can customize your bar with a love letter for your sweetie.
Looking to lighten things up? Try Green & Black’s white chocolate bar made with cocoa butter and a blend of milk and Bourbon vanilla. The company also launched a new variety made with caramelized organic peanuts.
This ultra-dark bar will impress even the most sever chocoholics with the complexities of cocoa. Equally delicious and socially conscious, the company’s other bars come from Ghana (84 percent) and Madagascar (74 percent).
