Eat chocolate and save the planet!

I decided that my husband and daughter should be involved in the review of this delicious chocolate from Terrapass. They were both practically begging! Ok Taylor was mostly begging and Bobby went along with it.

We had the opportunity to review the milk and dark chocolate from Terrapass. I am an absolute chocolate fanatic if you will. Anyone can easily make me smile with a just about anything chocolate. Its definetly my downfall in the world of dieting. Both bars of chocolate came in recyclable paper that had simple tips on them to help reduce your carbon footprint. Lots of the tips are things that you probably do anyway without even knowing it helps the envirornment. One of my favorites was tip #5 - Don't take it away. Cutting down on take away meals and coffees reduces wasteful packaging and you might even meet someone in the coffee shop! So true and made me giggle a bit! Once we broke into the chocolate I found that I absolutely LOVED the milk chociolate from Terrapass. It has a smooth, creamy taste that reminds me of some of the higher end chocolates I've had before. Taylor agrees with this because she told me "more candy please!!!" as soon as she had one piece in her mouth. I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate so I put Bobby in charge of testing that bar. He said that it has a very rich decadent flavor. All 3 of us throughly enjoyed the chocolate and it was gone in less then 5 minutes.



Now, I'm sure you're all wondering how eating this chocolate can help save the planet. Did you know that 133 lbs of carbon dioxide is the average American's daily carbon impact on the planet? The Climate change chocolate we reviewed comes with 133 lbs of verified TerraPass carbon offsets. It's a perfect balance! Thanks Terrpass!

The idea of a carbon offset is to compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions of a company or person by investing in a project that reduces emissions from the atmosphere.

I don't think you can go wrong with the purchase of this chocolate, its delicious and helps our envirorment. Check out Terrapass and learn about all the other ways you can offset your carbon footprint.

*Thanks my lovely ladies at Extraordinary Mothers and the great people at Terrapass for the opportunity to participate in this Mega review
