Wrap-up: Dixiebelle's chocolate challenge
Saturday, 3 October 2009
Dixiebelle's Guilt Free Chocolate Challenge is over.

I had a few slip-ups, mainly revolving around eating chocolate cake and home-made biscuit slice, then remembering that they were *chocolate*! D'oh!
Apart from that, I was pretty good. I was actually pleasantly surprised to learn that most of the chocolate I eat by habit is Fair Trade and organic.
The reason for this isn't because I'm a good girl. It's just that I prefer dark chocolate, and Dunedin is well on its way to becoming a Fair Trade city. Everywhere you go here, there is Fair Trade chocolate, and it is in every supermarket. So when you are buying chocolate, it is there right in front of you, and the choice is easy.
I also have a friend who bulk sells Fair Trade chocolate at choir (evil!), and it is very easy (too easy!) to buy from him. And the Trade Aid shop where another friend works is right on the main street - so easy to nip in there and grab a block of chockie if I feel like a nibble.
Thanks to Dixiebelle for offering this challenge! :-)

No problem! It was something I'd been needing to do for a while... just needed a little kick along, by doing a public challenge!
Hi Dixiebelle - Our whole town is buzzing with the news that Dairy Milk will be Fair Trade next year.
In case you didn't know, Dunedin has one of the major Cadbury's factories in the world. So its BIG NEWS here :-D (and possibly due to large scale local lobbying! Yay!)
