Alrighty, let me introduce to you all my favorite chocolate on planet Earth...
Tony Chocolonely offers the tastiest variety of chocolate bars that are fit to feed a crowd, and wonderful for baking! And with their incredibly tasty chocolate, they are on mission to make all chocolate 100% slave free worldwide. Plus, their chocolate is made with all-natural, wholesome ingredients that will leave you speechless!
Absolutely! Tony Chocolonely follows strict Sourcing Principles to curate slave-free cocoa that is sold commercially and tastes handcrafted!
Is their modern day slavery in the chocolate industry?
Sadly, yes, there is. And that's why supporting Tony Chocolonely not only will happily feed your family and friends, but also support their mission to end modern day slavery in the chocolate industry. Right now, there is slavery on cocoa farms throughout West Africa as a result on the unequally divided cocoa chain. And with you help, Tony Chocolonely is fighting to stop the illegal child labor and modern slavery.

Finely chop either milk or dark chocolate.

Heat again for 15 seconds, then stir again. Repeat the 15-second heating process until the chocolate is almost melted but not fully melted. Keep the chocolate from heating above 90F.

“"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
Add the chocolate to a bowl and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave.
Stir the chocolate to move any chocolate on the outside towards the center.
Heat again for 15 seconds, then stir again. Repeat the 15-second heating process until the chocolate is almost melted but not fully melted. Keep the chocolate from heating above 90F.
Paint a thin layer of the melted chocolate into your silicone molds, then refrigerate for 5 minutes.
Paint a second layer of melted chocolate over the first, paying close attention to the rim of the sphere. Refrigerate for 5 more minutes.
Once firm, take your chocolate out of the molds. Fill with 2-3 small chunks of chocolate and mini marshmallows.
Pipe a very thin layer of melted chocolate around the rim, then attach the second sphere on top, pressing down gently to seal.
Wipe away any excess chocolate or simply roll in some sprinkles for a little pizzazz!
