Flaunt It! Monday: CoCo-Zen

Good Monday Morning! It’s way too early, had to get the hubby out the door by 5am.  It’s supposed to be 81 degrees today, kids we’re playing in about 5 inches of snow last week! Crazy! Oh well…

togive-2tierchorgHow about we start the week with some choclate? Coco-Zen : Experience Oneness with Choclate, sells Fair Trade Chocolate Truffles and body treats.  I have yet to meet a choclate I don’t like, so when I found Joyce on Twitter, I just had to ask if she wanted to sponsor Flaunt It! Monday. I was so giddy when she agreed!!

A little about these Fair Trade Chocolates before I dig in (from the site):

Our truffles are made only from organic and Fair Trade Certified™ chocolate. By choosing Fair Trade, you are directly supporting a better life for farmers and their families through fair prices, direct trade, community development, and environmental stewardship.

Chocolate that erases the guilt of eating by helping the environment. That ROCKS!

So, Joyce sent the orange and Chai 2 tier tin and the Truffles-to-Go signature sampler. I must mention the packaging these came in.  The box that arrived was completely recycled even down to the shredded cardboard for filling.  The tins the chocolates come in are very attractive and completely reusable.

These chocolates are very unique. They are not very sweet, the flavors really come through perfectly. I feel so grown up to even say these are very sophisticated truffles.  My favorite was the Chocolate Chai Spice, even over the Mint Bliss and I’m normally all about the chocolate mint anything! My kids were not impressed, but that’s a good thing, Troy and I got to appreciate them in their entirety.  Yes, my husband loved them as well, I threatened to make him write this review if he didn’t leave me any to try!

My slogan is “growing small business green” and Coco-Zen fit the mold perfectly.  Companies often use chocolates as corporate gifts – for both customers or clients as well as employees and choosing to go with Fair Trade & organic chocolates is a great way to show their “eco-ness” in gift giving.

Want to start you Monday with some chocolate? One of my readers will win a $25 gift certificate to spend on any of the great products Coco-Zen has to offer.  Do as many of the below as you wish and leave a separate comment for each one.

    Everyone one I know loves chocolate – especially sinfully rich dark chocolate – which you have so perfectly named “Dark Chocolate NIRVANA”… So the “Truffles-To-Go: Casepack would be grand for gift giving (and it’s always good to gift oneself from time to time!

    But the best part is learning about a wonderful company like Coco-Zen. It is so important to support business that are environmentally aware and socially conscious.

    Coco-Zen intrigues me. I am a definite chocolate fanatic and your review is right on – the packaging and chocolate offered are so “grown up” and sophisticated looking! It is wonderful knowing that this company has a conscious and only uses Organic and Fair Trade chocolate.

    The website has many delicious sounding flavors that would be fun to try. There are flavors that I know I would love, such as the Chocolate Mint Bliss, Dark Chocolate Nirvana and Almond Nut Butter as well as flavors that I have never considered but would be interested in sampling, such as the Chocolate Chai Spice. I would say that the one that sounds like my go-to favorite would be the Chocolate Mint Bliss and I would be in heaven getting to try one of these delectable treats! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity and good luck to all!
