Toney is also ethical chocolate as the aim is to make the chocolate trade more fair for chocolate farmers. That's also why it's a bit expensive and it's why it is divided the way it is. It's a symbolic representation of how unfairly the chocolate industry distributes the wealth. Next time you buy a Toney bar, try and read the text inside the wrapping paper. Their mission is stated there if I remember correctly.

Very interesting!! Always seen these bars around but didn't know that it was both delicious chocolate and trying to be somewhat ethical in the world of chocolate trade. Will have to try it sometime!

Indeed! That's what led me to try it when I actually saw some for sale, as I already was familiar with their ethics and sustainability practices. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
