You can almost never go wrong presenting your significant other with good chocolate on Valentine's Day. Though it may be traditional, there's no reason it has to be conventional. Green LA Girl has discovered SLO Chai Chocolate, an organic, fair trade treat you can feel good about giving to your sweetheart this February 14.

This sweet-n-spicy yummy’s brought to you by two socio-eco conscious companies based in San Luis Obispo — SLO Chai and Sweet Earth Organic Chocolates. We’re talking 65% bittersweet chocolate paired with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, star anise, and other Indian spices.

The chocolate may be 65% bittersweet, but the product itself’s all sweet, with none of the ethical bitterness associated with conventional chocolates that use illegal child labor. SLO Chai Chocolate’s fair trade and organic certified. Plus, a dollar per bag of chocos (15 pieces for $5.99) will be donated to the nonprofit Project Hope and Fairness to help pay for farming equipment for 10 cocoa-farming villages in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, and raise awareness about labor issues in the cocoa industry.

SLO Chai Chocolate’s created by serious fair trade and organic advocates. Tom of Sweet Earth Organic Chocolates not only makes the chocolates, but he also runs , and he runs Project Hope and Fairness and organizes group excursions to visit West Africa, both to educate visitors and to aid cocoa farmers. Tom’s also a professor; Le Meems at Hallelujah says he was her favorite grad school professor — and recommends Sweet Earth. And Jennifer of Earth Friendly Weddings says Sweet Earth Chocolates make great wedding favors.

Just make sure if you buy these, you tuck them away somewhere safe - from yourself. There's nothing romantic about handing your partner a half-eaten (or completely empty) box of chocolates unless you're consulting the Romance Lessons from Homer Simpson guide.
