Organic chocolate - another piece of hemp?
The Philosophical
Chocolate as a Gesamtkunstwerk? This is how manufacturer BioArt sees it. Art outside: lovingly designed packaging; and inside: hand-made chocolate made from fine raw materials and fair trade. For example, "bittersweet pepper brittle", "whole milk strawberry" or "whole milk pumpkin seed". The trick: These ingredients sit on the table, it tastes particularly intense. 70 grams about 2.99 euros; in the specialized trade or under www.bioart.at
The supple
How does it fit: chocolate with olive oil? It fits. And gives a great melt. The Arriba cocoa from Ecuador lays smooth on the tongue and palate, without the olive oil would be intrusive somehow. "Olivo", 70% cocoa, fair trade, from Vivani; 100 gram board about 1.99 euros; in the specialized trade or under www.bioschokolade.de
Chocolate with hemp - does not sound like a love match. Mistake: Crunchy roasted hemp seed in bitter or milk chocolate is crunchy good. The healthy in the (noiseless) food hemp: Its oil contains 90 percent of unsaturated fatty acids in an optimal ratio for the body. It also provides essential amino acids, B vitamins (for the brain and nerves), minerals ... That requires more.

The sporty
What kind of a debris troop has manufacturer Zotter come up with? In terms of taste, the fictitious national team is in a great mood. For example, "Arni Umbomber" with nougat filling, "Norbert Hammer" with delicious butter caramel or "Supawutz Y. Rent" with smart lemon polenta. Direct hit, you can only say that. "We lose for you" is the name of the kicker edition for the European Championship; as single panel (from 2,98 Euro), set of 5 and 11 (from 16.60 and 37.60 Euro); 70 grams each, hand-made chocolate, fair trade cocoa and cane sugar.

The environmentally conscious
Do good and finally talk about it. For a long time, Ritter Sport in Nicaragua has supported smallholder farmers in organic cocoa cultivation. And at home, the solar system, combined heat and power plant and green electricity supply low-carbon energy for production. With so much sustainability, a bio-Schoki was literally in the air. Here it is: rectangular, practical, good, in four varieties (almonds, grape cashew, whole milk, fine tart). 65 gram board about 99 cents; in the food trade. Information: www.ritter-sport.de
The invigorating
Another bit of green tea? You're welcome, if it's packed so nicely - in white chocolate. Looks cool and tastes tart-sweet. In the treat is Japanese Matcha tea, as a powder and in the form of small pieces of leaf, on which one chews for a while after the rest has melted. Never mind, after all, the best of tea is in it: catechins, vitamins, caffeine. A board is as spirited as two to three cups of tea. "Green Kiss" by Keiko, 30 gram board about 1.95 euros; in the specialized trade or under www.keikotee.de
