OUR STORY

Starting out as a humble chocolate company nestled in the Oregon’s Rogue Valley in 1993, Endangered Species Chocolate was created to spread awareness and make an impact on the growing number of plant and animal species disappearing from the Earth. 

We began with a line of twelve all-natural chocolate bars that sold well in small natural food stores across the northwest. Today, we are one of the leaders in natural and organic chocolate manufacturing. 

With more than 30 all-natural and organic products, our chocolates can now be found in large and small natural and conventional grocers throughout the U.S.A. and Canada. Based now in Indianapolis, Indiana, we remain privately-owned and operated and are inspired to expand on the original ideals that started this company.

Inside the wrapper of the candy bar, there's an article about an endangered species. This wrapper tells about the Leopard and the Jaguar.

Look at those rows of beautifully crafted, rich, dense, dark, bittersweet chocolate, full of antioxidants.

* 88% cocoa.
* 100% ethically traded -- cacao is purchased from small family-owned properties.
* Certified gluten free.
* Made in the USA.

Ingredients = bittersweet chocolate (chocolate liquor, unbleached water-filtered beet sugar, soy lecithin, vanilla).

Each square of chiseled dark chocolate is a delight. It feels good to know that part of the money I spent on this candy is going to help make the world a better place.
