Made in small batches, they are safe from the cross-contamination concerns that often arise with mass-produced products.

TerraSource Gourmet Chocolates www.terrasourcechocolates.com
based in Wisconsin, creates hand-crafted vegan dark chocolates featuring local, organic and fair trade ingredients. Two unusual flavors in chocolate are Aronia and Seaberry, fruits grown just south of Madison. Aronia has three times the anti-oxidant benefit of blueberries, and Seaberry has seven times the vitamin C content of lemons. Two-piece favor boxes are embedded with Wisconsin grown-and-harvest native prairie seeds, so the box can be planted to grow a prairie garden after the chocolates are consumed.
