Zimt's organic confections are 100% vegan, featuring raw cocoa and coconut sugar ingredients. In addition to its naturally sourced flavors, Zimt is also a charitable brand that contributes 1% of its sales to a good cause. Its chocolates adhere to raw vegan diet restrictions and feature no added preservatives.

Available in seven tasty flavors -- including Coconut Crisp, Sugar and Spice and Salt of the Earth -- these treats are locally made and are a healthy alternative to store-bought chocolates that are filled with an abundance of processed sugars.

Zimt is not only known for using raw cocoa and coconut sugar ingredients but also creates [artisan treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-chocolate-pieces) that are infused with essential oils, Himalayan salts and navy beans.
