Looking for a healthy alternative to Christmas candy, or for a last-minute stocking stuffer? We’ve got you covered.

Yachana Jungle Chocolates from One World Projects are made of 100% cacao, sun-dried and sweetened only with a hint of Amazon cane syrup. Because these all-natural cacao nibs have none of the added ingredients, such as sugar or milk, found in regular chocolates, they make a healthy addition to ice cream, yogurt, trail mix, cereal, baked goods and lunches, in addition to being Vegan, Atkins and South Beach-friendly.

Handmade in Ecuador by Yachana Gourmet, a socially-conscious chocolatier that believes the future of the rainforest depends on the well-being of its inhabitants. Yachana Gourmet’s farmers pick chocolate beans from carefully selected cocoa trees, then ferment and dry the beans in special solar dryers. Next they're roasted to perfection and de-husked, producing little bits of pure chocolate, then dipped into Amazon cane syrup. Yachana Gourmet pays farmers 200% to 300% above the local market price for their cacao, which is available in four flavors (Brazil Nut & Coffee, Pineapple, Macadamia Nut, and Raisin & Coconut) at World of Good or www.oneworldprojects.com.

Because Yachana Gourmet buys directly from rural producers and family farmers, the company has helped create an economic alternative to illicit crop production and has even been recognized by the Ecuadorian government as “a viable alternative to the industries involved in the growing and trafficking of cocaine.” Yachana Gourmet has created a fair trade market where none existed before, another reason One World Projects is thrilled help this partner expand its market, and socially-progressive mission, in the United States.

Yachana Jungle Chocolate carries the certification of the Fair Trade Federation and all aspects of its production adhere to fair trade principles. Sold as sets of four 2 oz. boxes. $12.95 per set.
