Equal Exchange Chocolate Caramel Crunch with Sea Salt (55% Cacao) – by Marie Morache

If you are looking to indulge your sweet tooth and your craving for salty things, this is the bar for you! One of Equal Exchange’s new chocolate bars, it gives a robust and delightful flavor. With every bite there is a wonderful crunch and then the mixture of caramel and sea salt hits your palate. It is a complex chocolate bar – at times you taste just the salt, other times just the caramel, and at times both. These distinct flavors pair well together amidst the swirl of a slightly earthy tasting chocolate to create a well balanced chocolate bar.

Equally enjoyable in this bar is the organic, fair trade practices of the company. Started in 1986 Equal Exchange had the vision of honesty and fairness in trading practices with farmers and consumers being closer to the food they eat, and the farmers who grow their food. Starting with fairly traded specialty coffee, they have since grown to include tea, cocoa, chocolate bars, almonds, bananas, sugar and olive oil. Their story is inspiring. You will enjoy the wonderful chocolate bar, and have confidence knowing where your food came from and the integrity that went into it arriving at your home.
