Green & Black's makes hot chocolate. I've been buying their chocolate bars as my second favorite dessert for the past year or so. They make organic, fair trade chocolate that's darker & a lot less noxiously sweet/salty than the average mass-produced candy bar (if you're local, you can get them both at Ukrop's and Ellwood Thompson). Yummy and good for the world!

I liked regular hot cocoa until I started eating good chocolate; now that mix-with-water cocoa is just foul. This stuff rocks! And it's excellent in almond milk.

Green & Black's is very lovely indeed! But they've recently been bought out by Cadbury-Schweppes for about £20m, and there are worries that the multinational corporate rubbish won't rub too comfotably with the whole Fair trade thing. Very sad indeed. I hate the way soooo many ethical manufacturers get bought out and then stop being fair trade untested on animals/vegan etc. Bah poo and so on!

Bah! That is so depressing - ethical companies do tend to get de-ethical-ized when they're bought out. And I only just discovered their cocoa, too. Guess I'd better drink lots of it right now while it's still yummy and good for the world.
