Love it or hate it, Christmas is fast approaching. Since August I've been writing about Christmas chocolates, detailing what supermarkets and grocers are rolling out for the festive season. In a mixer with paddle attachment, beat the cooled brown butter with the sugar until fluffy and light. It still uses Fairtrade cocoa and sugar, but doesn’t contain any milk, so it’s suitable for vegans (though Tony’s does caution it may contain traces of eggs and milk from the production process).

The company was founded in 2005 by 3 journalists from the Dutch TV show ‘Keuringsdienst van Waarde’ after they discovered that the world’s largest chocolate manufacturers were buying cocoa from plantations that used illegal child labor and modern slavery. Ingredients: sugar, dried whole milk, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, 8.33% gingerbread (sugar, wheat flour, butter, whole egg, ginger, invert sugar syrup, ginger powder, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, salt, rising agent (sodium carbonate)), emulsifier (soya lecithin) Tony’s Chocolonely is an impact company that makes chocolate. Putting social impact before profit — Tony's Chocolonely's vision is to make chocolate 100% exploitation free. Not just their own chocolate, but all chocolate worldwide. If you’re looking for more of that lovely taste in a 6.35 oz portion size, look no further than the Dark Almond Sea Salt 51% bar.The company’s philosophy, which has guided their business since inception, is broken up into 5 major components: Cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, 6.67% candy cane (sugar, corn syrup, colouring agent (anthocyanins), aroma (natural peppermint oil)), emulsifier (soya lecithin). Cocoa solids: 51% minimum. Yes, Tony’s makes chocolate bars, but they got into the business in an attempt to change the industry via leading by example. Whether it’s a winter holiday, a declaration of love in February, or a spring celebration with lots of bunnies and eggs, there are instances when some of us like to feel all fancy and buy a big variety box of chocolates.

Both bars sounded tasty to me but do the flavours live up to expectations? Should you be ditching those same-old chocolate tubs you always buy in favour of these chocolate bars this Christmas? Should you just get the one or are they both "game changers"?Once your butter has changed from yellow to golden brown, remove from the pan and cool down over a bowl of ice. Enjoy this special Christmas treat with a clear conscience, this Fair Trade chocolate provides a living wage to cocoa farmers in its cooperatives and insures no illegal child slavery exists on its farms. 100% slave free.
