PORTLAND, Ore., U.S. — Tony’s Chocolonely, a company on a mission to make all chocolate worldwide 100% slave free, is coming in hot this summer with two new, crazy flavors. Wrapped in bright pink, the White Raspberry Popping Candy (yep, you read right) is the sweet, disco party your taste buds have always dreamed of. And in yellow wrapping, Milk Chocolate Honey Almond Nougat is a creamy, crunchy ray of sunshine that will brighten even the cloudiest of days.
The most important ingredients for chocolate are cocoa butter, cocoa mass and sugar. You make white chocolate with cocoa butter, and for milk and dark chocolate you also need cocoa mass.
The cocoa mass for Tony’s chocolate was already 100% traceable with cocoa beans that were purchased directly from their partner cooperatives in Ghana and Ivory Coast. Cocoa butter, on the other hand, was available generically with little traceability. That didn’t stop Tony’s…
In 2016, Tony’s Chocolonely and the world’s largest chocolate maker – Barry Callebaut – signed a partnership agreement. Barry Callebaut has made major changes in the chocolate factory to traceably process Tony’s cocoa butter. They installed a special cocoa butter tank and new pipes especially for Tony’s so traceable cocoa butter could be used in Tony’s chocolate making process. So now the road is finally clear for white chocolate!
New bars can be found now at New Seasons, Whole Foods, Stop and Shop, Natural Grocers and many other stores nationwide and online at Amazon and tonyschocolonely.com/us/en/chocoshop for a recommended selling price of $5.49 per bar.

Missed the Chocotruck? Stay tuned! Tony’s could be popping (pun fully intended) up near you this summer and fall.
