YAY! In this article, Mars (makers of M&Ms, Milky Way, etc.) says, “it will continue to use 100 percent cocoa butter in its U.S. chocolate products, bucking an industry campaign to allow cheaper vegetable oils to be substituted.” Woo Hoo! Now if we could just get them to use fair trade chocolate too – I’d pay extra for a fair trade version of a Milky Way Midnight – you betcha!
