The designs of the Sweet Solution ethical chocolate bars by Tony’s Chocolonely are eye-catching and they may even seem quite familiar, as they were intentionally designed to bring attention to the issue of illegal chocolate labor in the chocolate industry. Inside boldly colored wrappers, the brand packs nougat pyramids, wafer strips, nutty crunch circles and caramel cookie strips to continue the fight for slave-free chocolate.
Tony’s Chocolonely is on a mission to make slave-free chocolate the norm and bringing fairness to the chocolate supply chain. As Tony’s Chocolonely identifies, there's " a group of chocolate giants that profit from keeping the cocoa purchasing price as low as possible. For the farmers, this creates a poverty trap that leads to illegal child labor and modern slavery."
