For the Chocolate Fiend
Money on Honey ($7.95+)
Instead of the normal last-minute holiday chocolates, why not try something a little more natural? Money on Honey is an all-natural line of caramels made of pure wildflower honey and devoid of the unhealthy corn syrups, of which caramels are typically made of. Michelle Crochet began making these caramels with honey sourced from local farmers markets in 2010. One of the greatest benefits of purchasing this chocolate is that a portion of all sales will be donated to Project Apis M., a non-profit organization whose mission is to fund and direct research to enhance the health and vitality of honeybee colonies and improve crop production.
