If you aren't craving chocolate right now, you're about to be. Consider yourself warned. Now, ready to copy and paste some websites into your browser?
www.naturalcandystore.com - An absolutely wonderful online candy store located out of Concord, CA. You can order for delivery or for customer pickup. Looks FANTASTIC for Halloween. Also? Free samples with every purchase.
www.organiccandy.com - I love this website, background music and all. All candies manufactured exclusively in Canada and the US in fair wage factories, using only adult-produced, fairly traded raw materials. They even sell cotton candy. Mmmm.
www.globalexchange.org - Such a great resource. Anything you click will be informative and inspiring, but first check out the Fair Trade Store: www.globalexchangestore.org, as well as this list of 100% fair trade companies: http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/fairtrade/coffee/retailers.html
Also available at Global Exchange - Reverse Trick-or-Treating Kits to help raise awareness for fairly traded chocolate.

www.sweetearthchocolates.com - Halloween candy, truffles, wedding favors, individually wrapped chocolate candies (like peanut butter cups, oh my aching sweet tooth), baking chocolate and cocoa powder, and so much more of the most amazing looking chocolate I have ever seen.
http://www.katescaringgifts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=ROBINS_SAUCE - Chocolate syrup for your ice cream. Hershey's who?
http://www.equalexchange.coop/cocoa - Cocoa powder and different hot chocolate mixes. Winter demands hot cocoa!
http://www.divinechocolateusa.com, http://www.greenandblacks.com, http://sjaaks.com/fair_trade - Divine Chocolate, Green and Black's Organic Chocolate, and Sjaak's Organic Chocolate are somewhat well-known fair trade chocolate producers and look scrumptious. You can see videos of cocoa farmers and their families on the Divine Chocolate website.
If you want even more resources, here are two addresses of huge lists of fair trade chocolate resources.

For even more (yes, there is more!), type "Fair Trade Chocolate (or Cocoa or Baking Chocolate or Candy or...)" into your favorite search engine. And go recover from your vicarious and ethically produced sugar coma.
