Chocolate for the Chocolate Lovers

Chocolate is made from the fermented, roasted, and ground seeds taken from the pod of the tropical cacao tree. The tree is native to lowland tropical South America but is now cultivated throughout the tropics. The seeds have an intense bitter taste, and must be fermented to develop the chocolate flavor. The resulting products are known as "chocolate" or, in some parts of the world, cocoa.

Our advice is simple — if you plan to make a gift of chocolate, get two. Sure, maybe you can resist the temptation of sampling that luscious gift of chocolate — we sure can't. If you crave chocolate... get two!

A gift of the Aztecs — who considered it the food of the gods — there's more than a few of us who revere the flavor of chocolate still today. From Fair Trade Certified® cocoa to guilt-free coffee flavors, to select, single-origin chocolates, you'll find something to satisfy your every craving.

Tanzania Chocolate Sauce	Fair Trade Organic Better World Cocoa
Like coffee, the finest chocolate can be traced back to a specific origin or growing region. This divinely dark chocolate sauce is made with Tanzanian Select Origin Dark Chocolate, which has 75% cocoa content. Paler imitations are often made with cocoa powder and corn syrup instead of chocolate. This superior sauce is the real deal: rich, full-bodied and sweetly satisfying. And its from our friends at Lake Champlain Chocolate. Net weight 12oz	In addition to possessing a great deal of knowledge about chocolate, Lake Champlain Chocolates holds a world view very much like our own. When we worked with them to create our Fair Trade organic cocoa, we knew we were in for a treat. Sourced from the Dominican Republic, this powder produces cocoa that is incredibly rich and delicious—just add one heaping tablespoon to 8 ounces of warm milk.
Chocolate Lava Cake Mix	Chocolate Raspberry Truffle
The King Arthur Flour Company reigns supreme at making baking easy. When we tried this chocolate lava cake mix, it took three ingredients and five minutes to make. After 14 minutes in the oven, we had an oozing chocolate treat worthy of a full-page photo in a fancy cooking magazine. Enjoy a "restaurant" dessert at your home tonight! We just recommend putting a piece aside for yourself before the word gets out.	A smooth, medium-bodied coffee with the flavor of fresh raspberries and rich chocolate. From trifle to truffles, there's something deeply satisfying about the pairing of deep, dark chocolate and raspberries.
