    The Little Market offers countless flavorful sweets from Madagascar, Kenya, and Rwanda. In our opinion, this scrumptious dark chocolate bar—infused with the citrus tartness of clementines—is enough to sweeten anyone’s day.

    FYI: Each purchase empowers artisans and farmers who are members of Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana, the cocoa suppliers for each Divine Chocolate bar. What could be better than a gift that so generously gives back!
