Available in dark chocolate and dark milk chocolate, these truffles are a bold and innovative addition to the popular Alter Eco organic, Fair Trade chocolate bars. The candy maker has reinvented the colorful round twist-wrap truffles seen at every grocery store checkout counter. They’ve taken these much-loved favorites and made them with organic ingredients, adding pure lauric acid-rich coconut oil, instead of palm kernel oil, to their famous Fair Trade chocolate. And, even the packaging is compostable.

Ingredients: (Black Truffles) Cane sugar, cacao beans, coconut oil, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, caramel flavor, vanilla beans.

S.R.P.: (10-pack) $7.99
