I can't recommend Tony's Chocolonely enough since they are the only chocolate maker [ I know of ] that actively tries to act against exploitation of cocoa farmers by paying a higher price per kilo. There is a John Oliver Episode on them :)

    They are great, here in my hometown (Nottingham, UK) we have a little place called Louisa's, and as far as I'm aware, she's the only vegan chocolate maker in the UK. She does direct trade with small family farms so that everyone gets paid fairly (direct trade > fair trade), she also knows a lot about the cocoa plant and so will visit her farmers to help them grow better beans and ensure these farms are run in an ethical fashion.

    Her chocolate is absolutely divine too, if you can, order from her.

    Warning, it's pricey, but hopefully you'll understand why!

    My only gripe is that it's impossible to break off two equal pieces, which makes sharing needlessly difficult.
