I LOVE chocolate and as I go into 2016 I have vowed to pay more attention to the ingredients I put into my body. One of the things that caught my eye about Barefoot & Chocolate spreads is their dedication to providing the very best to their customers.
Barefoot & Chocolate has three different chocolate spreads to choose from. They have Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, Dark Chocolate Almond Spread and Almond Coconut Spread. Their spreads use Fair Trade and Organic cocoa, sugar and vanilla and do not contain GMOS, artificial ingredients or hydrogenated and solvent extracted oils.
They recently sent me two of their spreads to try.
Each jar sells for $7.99 and you can purchase them on their website, amazon and select locations.
Their ingredients include:
- Organic Cane Sugar – Fair Trade certified
- Almonds
- Hazelnuts
- Palm Fruit Oil – RSPO 100% segregated Certified Sustainable Palm Fruit Oil. It is not hydrogenated or solvent extracted.
- Desiccated Coconut –They use real coconuts (not coconut flavor). Their coconut is sulfite-free. Desiccated simply means dehydrated.
- Organic Cocoa Powder – Fair Trade certified
- Organic Sunflower Oil – Expeller pressed
- Organic Milk Powder – rBGH and rBST free
- Organic Vanilla – Fair Trade certified
- Sunflower Lecithin – A natural emulsifier that we prefer as an alternative to the more widely used soy-lecithin.
- Sea Salt – French Sea Salt
In the future, they hope to use organic nuts, however, the high cost of sourcing organic nuts has prevented them from doing so.
Review:
I am not a huge fan of dark chocolate but my step daughter and grandmother LOVED the dark chocolate almond spread. Both spreads are super flavorful and creamy. The hazelnut spread has more hazelnut flavor then other hazelnut spreads I have tasted in the past but its well balanced and not overwhelming. Their spreads were a huge hit with my household and I love that they use Organic and Fair Trade ingredients.
All I can say is…………………………yummy !
