The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:

With the New England Chocolate Festival coming October 12, we have been talking a LOT about chocolate (not that that’s a bad thing!). And while people who attend the Festival will be able to taste a lot of different chocolates from a lot of different places, there is one chocolate company from Washington DC that not only tastes different but is run differently.

Divine Chocolate is a fully-established global chocolate B corporation that is co-owned by cocoa farmers (one of whom is introduced personally inside every wrapper!) and that has been cited as being not only the best in the worlds but the best for the world! A co-op of 85,000 Fairtrade chocolate farmers in Ghana receive over 40% of the B company’s distributable profits, providing them with economic stability and increased influence in the cocoa industry.


The result of this producer-owned project is a wide range of delicious 100% cocoa butter flavors that range from 85% dark to white chocolate with strawberries and also includes bars with hazelnuts, spiced cookies, raspberries, mint, toffee, mango, ginger, and orange. All Divine Chocolates are non-GMO and free of soy, palm oil, and artificial ingredients and are decorated with life-affirming symbols that the farmers have used to communicate for generations. There is even a new organic line of vegan bars with superfoods like blueberries, cocoa nibs, and turmeric. No matter which you pick, you are sure to have a Divine experience! The website even has tips on how to enjoy your chocolate more mindfully, and knowing the farmers benefit makes each experience even more fulfilling!
