Dark Chocolate Bar

Hand crafted 75% dark chocolate made from Muddy Paws roasted Cacao Beans using only Organic Cocoa beans, Organic Direct-Trade Maple Sugar, Organic Fair-Trade Cocoa Butter, Organic Vanilla Beans, and Sea Salt.

The beans used in this chocolate are from Reserva Zorzal in the Dominican Republic. They have set aside 70% of its 1,019 acres as “forever wild”, devoted to the wintering grounds of Bicknell’s thrush, which of course benefits biodiversity and many other species. This rare and threatened bird breeds on remote mountaintops in the Northeastern United States. Seeing or hearing one is a rare treat even for experienced birders, and its habitat in dense hemlock forests makes even getting the chance of seeing one or hearing its nasal trill the thrill of a lifetime. It winters in the DR, where it is called the Zorzal de Bicknells, in the dense cloud forest, and because its habitat is shrinking both in its wintering grounds and breeding grounds, cooperative efforts between conservation organizations in the United States and the DR are forging real progress in maintaining populations of this rare songbird.

Each bar is 45g.
