Product Information

They even have a special certification, Tony’s Open Chain, that other companies can participate in to show they’re following the 5-step philosophy and making a difference. Plenty of smaller companies are already onboard. If you’re looking for more of that lovely taste in a 6.35 oz portion size, look no further than the Dark Almond Sea Salt 51% bar. The aroma is rich and buttery, with just a hint of Christmas spices in the mix. Nutmeg and cinnamon sit at the forefront. Here, Tony’s pairs their dark chocolate, with its rich but not-too-bitter 51% cocoa content, with simple almonds and sea salt flakes. It’s complex and sophisticated, but the smooth flavor and subtle bitterness also make it a great introduction to high-quality dark chocolate.

Tony’s Chocolonely is working with the goal of applying these principles to their business, and making them transparent and accessible to the industry overall. Love it or hate it, Christmas is fast approaching. Since August I've been writing about Christmas chocolates, detailing what supermarkets and grocers are rolling out for the festive season.Tony's Chocolonely has recently toured the UK and has just launched its first advent calendar. It reminded me that I had bought a bar earlier in the year and squirrelled it away to review at a later date. That time was now, and that bar was a bright yellow wrapped helping of almond and honey nougat 32% milk chocolate. Yes, Tony’s makes chocolate bars, but they got into the business in an attempt to change the industry via leading by example. What he found was that the cocoa farmers in West Africa, who van de Keuken says provide the major chocolate and candy companies with around 60% of the world’s cocoa, have been subjected to horrific conditions. He found farmers living in poverty, not getting a fair trade for their product, and found that unpaid child labour was being used. Tony's Chocolonely 32% Milk Chocolate Gingerbread Bar Review The milk chocolate bar next to its orange wrapper Both bars sounded tasty to me but do the flavours live up to expectations? Should you be ditching those same-old chocolate tubs you always buy in favour of these chocolate bars this Christmas? Should you just get the one or are they both "game changers"?

In his investigation, van de Keuken says he saw little being done to improve conditions for farmers and their families, and that the industry was in a vicious cycle of using unethical practices to keep prices low and profits high. Sugar, dried whole milk, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, gingerbread (8.33%) (sugar, wheat flour, butter, whole egg, ginger, invert sugar syrup, ginger powder, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, salt, rising agent (sodium carbonate)), emulsifier (soya lecithin). Cocoa solids: 32% minimum. Bite into this and you'll be greeted with a rich, creamy, caramel and butterscotch notes from the cocoa, complimented by a spiced biscuit crunch. The gingerbread biscuit pieces are firm and crunchy, as add a nice contrast to the sweet, smooth milk chocolate. As you crunch the gingerbread it releases warming flavours of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger, which work really well with this 32% milk chocolate. A closer look at the gingerbread biscuit pieces inside this milk chocolate bar Little of the flavour of the dark chocolate successfully competes against the peppermint, but while it may not impart much flavour, it does add richness and body to the overall profile. The aftertaste is dominated by the peppermint, with faint chocolatey undertones. It still uses Fairtrade cocoa and sugar, but doesn’t contain any milk, so it’s suitable for vegans (though Tony’s does caution it may contain traces of eggs and milk from the production process).This cookie is set by Addthis.

Chop the Tony's Chocolonely milk chocolate gingerbread bar into really small pieces. Place in a medium saucepan with the milk. Heat on medium/high until the chocolate has melted and dissolved. Add the brewed coffee.Just like the candy cane bar, the snap is clean and crisp, but portioning this bar once again requires thumbs of steel. Proudly displaying my broken chocolate bar While van de Keuken is no longer running the show from the company headquarters in Pazzanistraat, Netherlands, the dedicated team currently behind Tony’s has continued to work at their goal of making all chocolate slave-free and Fairtrade. I bought two bars. The blue clad bar is the 51% Dark Chocolate Mint Candy Cane Chocolate Bar, while the orange one is the Gingerbread 32% Milk Chocolate Bar. It all began in the early 2000s, when investigative journalist Teun van de Keuken was looking into the process of chocolate production for the Dutch TV show Keuringsdienst van Waarde.

Helping those farmers have access to resources to improve their production, both in terms of ethical efficiency and environmental impact

This Tony’s Chocolonely Milk Chocolate Gingerbread Bar is a festive chocolate bar with a difference – find a Fairtrade chocolate Christmas tree hidden in the bar and break it out! With a small hole at the top of the chocolate tree you can even thread through some ribbon and make an extra special chocolate tree decoration - if you can wait that long to eat it! While some folks will fight over the caramel center, some know the real MVP of the assortment is dark chocolate, with that rich, bitter cocoa flavor that makes anything it’s paired with sing. In a mixer with paddle attachment, beat the cooled brown butter with the sugar until fluffy and light. Once your butter has changed from yellow to golden brown, remove from the pan and cool down over a bowl of ice.
