Leap for joy

Chocolate with a social conscience

Gazelle Candies is an environmentally aware firm that expresses its social conscience in the form of all-natural premium chocolate treats. Bite-sized Gazelle rounds come in four irresistible flavors: raspberry dark, hazelnut milk, java dark, and buttercrunch dark (made with almonds and brazil nuts). Their stunningly bright foil wrappings -- fuchsia, blue, violet, and copper -- are made from recycled paper printed with vegetable-based inks. A refillable wooden gift box of 48 rounds costs about $20; a chocolate bar is $2.99. Available at Cardullo's and Barsamian's in Cambridge, and at some Borders Bookstores, Paper Stores, and Bread & Circus markets. Call (508) 443-1991 or fax (508) 443-5571 to order by mail. -- Nancy Kalajian
