Dr. Bronner's, a brand that is known for its natural soap, is venturing into the creation of vegan, organic and fair trade Magic All-One Chocolate bars. David Bronner, Cosmic Engagement Officer of Dr. Bronner’s, says "When we learned that many of the 800 farmers who supply our Regenerative Organic Certified Serendipalm project in Ghana also grew cocoa, it was a perfect opportunity to grow our partnership with fair trade farmers by developing these cocoa beans and other ingredients."
Made with 70% dark chocolate from regenerative organic cocoa beans and sweetened with lower-glycemic coconut sugar, the Magic All-One Chocolate bars are being introduced in varieties like Salted Whole Almonds, Crunchy Hazelnut Butter and Smooth Coconut Praline.
