I happened to see John Oliver's episode on chocolate about six months back, and decided to stop eating dark chocolate cold turkey. I'm really missing it, so I decided to go looking for Ethical Alternatives. I found the www.slavefreechocolate.org site. They specifically mention that Tony's Chocolonely is not on the list. Does anyone have any other sources of info?

๐Ÿซ๐ŸŒฑHomemade Vegan Chocolate Bark recipe:

โ‡จ INGREDIENTS (makes 35-40 pieces)

๐ŸŒฑ 150g/5.3oz cacao butter
๐ŸŒฑ 60g/2.1oz cocoa powder
๐ŸŒฑ 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
๐ŸŒฑ 20g/0.7oz (1/3 cup) soy protein crisps
๐ŸŒฑ 30g/1oz (1/4 cup) goji berries
๐ŸŒฑ 60g/2.1oz (1/3 cup) sultanas or golden raisins
๐ŸŒฑ 1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
๐ŸŒฑ Optional: 1-2 drops of rose water

โ†’ Maple-roasted cashews & pepitas
๐ŸŒฑ 70g/2.5oz (1/2 cup) raw cashews (use sunflower seeds for nut-free version)
๐ŸŒฑ 50g/1.8oz (1/3 cup) pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
๐ŸŒฑ 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

โ‡จ INSTRUCTIONS
1. Maple-roasted cashews & pepitas: Preheat oven to 180C/350F and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Break the cashews into halves or leave whole. Spread the cashews and pepitas on the lined baking tray and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool while the chocolate is prepared.
3. Prepare the chocolate: Line a tray with baking paper. Using a double boiler, melt the cacao butter. If the cacao butter pieces are large, chop them into smaller pieces so that they melt faster. Once melted, remove from the heat.
4. Stir in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, cashews, pepitas, soy crisps, goji berries, sultanas, melted coconut oil and optional rose water.
5. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the lined tray and spread evenly.
6. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
7. Once ready, break the bark into small pieces and enjoy.

I'm into craft chocolate in a big way, so people often come to me for recommendations. Someone emailed today asking for suggestions for gifts for their team at work.
I figure I went to the effort of writing this list, I might as well share it.
