Is there anything better than a DIY pasta bar?! We are huge advocates for the build-your-own meals format.

Continually. Persistently. Relentlessly.
We can all use a little perspective. Especially today. And tomorrow. And the next day. As an entrepreneur looking at other businesses, it’s easy to see what flourishes above ground, but it’s hard to see what’s under the surface. No matter how easy someone else makes it look, or how successful someone may appear to be, chances are, they are facing the same kind of challenges as you are, or once did.
You aren’t successful because of luck ... you are successful because of what you do ... repeatedly and consistently. .
Be curious. Dig deeper. Connect the dots.
Perspective is everything.

Real Chocolate Bars

Anyone who knows us, knows we love a great chocolate bar. Our favourites are not only incredibly delicious, they’re also guilt-free, whole foods made with some of the most nutritious and ethical ingredients on the planet (no bad stuff!). And it goes without saying that these treats are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.


CHOCOSOL SINFULLY RAW VANILLA This fresh, whole food, stone ground, artisanal chocolate is made in small batches in Toronto using organic, forest garden, shade grown cacao, sourced directly from horizontal trade relationships with Indigenous communities in the Lacondon Jungle of Chiapas and the Oaxacan mountains of Southern Mexico.


Mid-Day Squares These delicious squares are made with real chocolate and pack in 14g of protein, 8g of fiber, and only 8g of real organic sugar. It’s made entirely with superfoods and all of their ingredients are raw, vegan, gluten-free and organic.



JOYA Hand-crafted from ethically-sourced, directly-traded organic cacao beans, these smooth and creamy plant-based bars are all decadence, zero refined sugars or other added junk…. and they are made by a real food champion we love! Bonus points for beautiful and compostable packaging!



LIVE ON CHOCOLATE  Inspired and made with love, by creator, Stacey Burgess. Trained as an artist, she combines her love for art and chocolate to make some of the most beautiful sweets with the best ingredients that she sources herself, and then delivers to retailers on her bike!



LAGUSTA’S LUSCIOUS This chocolate alone is worth a trip to NYC. They use organic, fair-trade, fresh and local ingredients whenever possible and strive to source our ingredients from smaller producers, farms, and artisans instead of large multi-national corporations.



HU CHOCOLATE When they couldn’t find a chocolate that fit their specs, they made their own. Stone ground dark chocolate that is organic, fair trade, paleo, and vegan. No refined sugar, no cane sugar, no sugar alcohols, no dairy, no GMO’s. Just good chocolate.



GIDDY YOYO RAW MACA This hand crafted chocolate bar is made to enhance feel good moods and emotions in the hopes of one day changing the world (changing the world through raw, vegan chocolate…now there’s something to get giddy about!).



ELEMENTS TRUFFLES These beautiful, micro-batch, additive-free chocolates, blend pure and ethically sourced ingredients with herbs & recipes inspired by Ayurveda – an ancient science of healing. And every purchase contributes towards the education of underprivileged children.



NELLY’S ORGANICS Made with ingredients sourced from whole foods with good fats, protein and fiber to help give you and sustain energy.  Sweetened with raw agave and brown rice syrup, then coated with delicious organic and fair traded dark chocolate, indulge in a ‘candy bar’ you can feel better about.



FOUR SIGMATIC MUSHROOM CHOCOLATE This delightful chocolate is made simply with organic heirloom cacao, cocoa butter, coconut sugar, vanilla bean, and himalayan salt, and their signature 10 mushroom belnd (reishi, chaga, cordyceps, enokitake, maitake, shiitake, lion’s mane, tremella, agaricus blazei, and meshima).



GREENHOUSE JUICE CO Greenhouse Juice has partnered with chocolate maker Aaron Raphael to bring to life a line of chocolate made from just two ingredients: direct trade Trinidadian cacao and certified organic cane sugar. It’s crafted in Toronto, and available exclusively at all Greenhouse Juice shops.



ADDICTIVE WELLNESS This raw, heirloom, artisinal chocolate brings together the best of South American superfoods, Ayurvedic and Taoist tonic superherbs with holistic health science. They’re free from sugar, gluten, GMOs, soy, dairy, and nuts.



YES CACAO Functional chocolate powered by botanicals. Instead of using refined sugar, processed emulsifiers, and conventional preservatives, they use chocolate as a delivery system for organic herbs, teas, flowers, and superfoods.



ZIMT PEPPERMINT NIB’D Combining their passion for raw food and ethical living, Zimt offers delicious raw chocolate with tons of different nutritious & delicious organic ingredients, all wrapped up in beautifully designed post consumer, compostable packaging. We love mint chocolate in general, and this one contains just 4 simple, healthy ingredients: cacao nibs, coconut sugar, cacao butter, and peppermint essential oil.



LOVING EARTH These organic chocolate makers are dedicated to sourcing and manufacturing the highest quality organic, fairly traded and wild crafted functional foods and raw chocolate.



ZAZUBEAN NUDIE EXTRA DARK  This 80% Panama dark chocolate is sweetened just right with coconut sugar. It’s low glycemic, and great for the dark chocolate lovers.



EATING EVOLVED PRIMAL CHOCOLATE  These bars are sweetened with coconut sugar, and are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, refined sugar free, paleo, and vegan- impressive, right? They’re also certified organic, rainforest alliance, and fair-trade.


 
SACRED CHOCOLATE MYLK  With a high coconut content, this dairy-free “Mylk” chocolate is sweet and creamy just like milk chocolate. It is sweetened with maple and coconut, and contains the whole cacao bean with the skin/husk still attached for superior nutrition.



VITA ORGANIC FOODS This satisfying mini chocolate bites are three core ingredients (raw organic cacao paste, raw organic cacao butter, and raw organic palm sugar), and three core values (We’re that simple. We’re that clean. We’re that whole.) And they’re that delicious!



BELVAS ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE Not only does this chocolate meet our high standards for clean, fair-trade ingredients, but Belvas was also nominated to be the “greenest micro-enterprise in Europe” by the European Commission (EMAS Award)!



RAWMIO CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE Although technically called a cake, it’s more like one of the best chocolate bars we’ve ever tasted in the shape of a small cake, which you could cut and serve, or if you’re like us, just break off or bite into. Only certified organic, vegan, raw, and gluten-free ingredients like stone-ground cacao, coconut flakes, cashews, currents, and low-glycemic coconut crystals make this any chocolate lover’s dream.



MADECASSE HEIRLOOM COCOA This direct trade chocolate and vanilla brand was founded by two former Peace Corps Volunteers with a passion for Madagascar and a vision to strengthen its economy through sustainable chocolate and vanilla.



HEAVENLY ORGANICS CHOCOLATE MINT PATTIES These delightful treats are made with only 3 ingredients: raw organic honey, organic unsweetened chocolate, and natural peppermint extract! Simple and incredibly satisfying.



CACOCO DRINKING CHOCOLATE Rather than the standard processed cocoa powder, cane sugar, and milk, this is all organic superfood herbs and spices added to to our fair trade chocolate blends for an amazing vitality elixir with anti-oxidants, minerals, and essential fatty acids.



LAKANTO MONK FRUIT CHOCOLATE BAR These vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free chocolate bars are handcrafted from Arriba Nacional cacao beans, and are sugar-free! It’s sweetened with Lakanto, a proprietary mixture of the high-purity Monk Fruit extract and Erythritol, which is an all-natural, zero calorie, zero glycemic sweetener with the sweet taste of sugar.



ZIBADEL CHOCOLATE MANUKA HONEY We’re such big fans of the benefits + purity of manuka honey (we even make candles out of it!), but the way to our hearts is to cover something we love with something else we love – chocolate!



RIGHTEOUSLY RAW CHOCOLATE COVERED MACAROONS  (Not really a chocolate bar, but deserves to be on this list). These bite sized treats are made with amazing superfoods, including their award winning raw cacao and raw sun-dried coconut.
