There are a lot of things that need to be done to reduce the impact of the chocolate industry; eliminate slave labour, cut out genetically modified ingredients, ensure the chocolate is fair-trade and organic. Charles Chocolates Factory Store & Chocolate Bar has come up with another way to eliminate the impact of Valentine’s Day chocolates on the environment – edible chocolate boxes.
Each year, more than $414 million is spent on chocolate candy sales in the USA during the week around Valentine’s Day, according to the Nielsen Company. All those heart shaped boxes create a lot of waste that often ends up in the local dump.
The concept behind the edible chocolate boxes is simple, but sweet: enjoy the chocolates inside, and then savour the box. The chocolates do not contain artificial ingredients and are handmade. Many contain organic or local ingredients and some chocolates are egg-free.
Charles Chocolates Factory Store & Chocolate Bar has a chocolate bar in San Francisco where you can sip hot chocolate while watching the chocolates being made or take a free tour of their production facilities.
Edible chocolate boxes can be ordered online. However, there will be packaging from the shipping process.
