Theo Chocolate, an award-winning bean-to-bar chocolate maker, has launched its new creation: Theo Peanut Butter Cups.

The cups are the first Fair Trade certified product of its kind in North America. Available in both dark and milk chocolate options, they have a distinctive heart shape inspired by the care put into each product and the joy each bite will bring. Every package includes two peanut butter cups — perfect for sharing.

The product is made with 100 percent organic and IMO Fair for Life certified Congolese cocoa and special dark roast peanut butter made with domestically sourced organic peanuts from small-batch roaster CB’s Nuts.

“Creating a Fair Trade certified peanut butter cup with no soy and no palm oil has been a longtime passion for Theo, and those designations are essential to the overall quality and integrity of the product,” says Joe Whinney, Theo founder and ceo. “We decided to use a heart shape as a representation of the human connection between the farmers who cultivate high-quality ingredients and our customers who get to enjoy the finished product.”

Ingredients: (Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups) Cocoa butter, peanut butter (roasted peanuts), cane sugar, cocoa beans, powdered sugar (cane sugar, cornstarch), milk powder, peanut flour, salt, rosemary extract (vegetable oil, rosemary extract), ground vanilla bean

S.R.P.: $2.39
