Tony's Chocolonely's and Ben & Jerry's are two companies that are known for their social justice advocacy and now they are teaming up to end modern slavery and child labor in the chocolate industry.
As part of this shared mission, the companies are introducing new treats for next year. Launching in January 2023, Chocolatey Love A-Fair is a new flavor from Ben & Jerry's based on Tony's popular milk caramel sea salt bar. There's also Tony's Chocolate Love A-Fair, two new Tony's bars inspired by Ben & Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream flavors.
The cocoa beans used in these decadent chocolate treats are sourced through Tony's Open Chain and going forward, Ben & Jerry's will begin converting its ice cream portfolio to Tony's Open Chain.
