Divine Chocolate
A delectable Fairtrade Christmas countdown! Each window of Divine Chocolate’s Advent Calendar reveals a new way to say “Merry Christmas” in 24 languages – and a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth milk chocolate heart! 5% of sales from this Advent Calendar will go towards empowerment initiatives for the women cocoa farmers of Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana. A hot holiday commodity, these advent calendars are flying off the shelf this year. But not to worry, Divine Chocolate has many other holiday treats for you to enjoy, including Holiday Chocolate Bars and Drinking Chocolates.
