Tony’s Chocolonely earns strong reviews for rich, creamy chocolate and inventive flavors like Milk Caramel Sea Salt, Pretzel Toffee, and White Raspberry Popping Candy, while its fair-trade, anti-slavery mission resonates. Reviews also flag drawbacks: bars are very thick with irregular break lines that are hard to portion, some dark varieties run too sweet or chalky, and concerns appear about heavy metals in certain dark bars.

  • Tony's Chocolonely is an exemplary model of what a chocolate bar should be, both in taste and ethics. The bold flavors and creamy texture of the chocolate create an indulgence that is simply delectable. The chunky, uneven pieces add an element of fun, making the experience of eating it even more delightful. What makes Tony's stand out is its commendable commitment to using 100% slavery-free cocoa, highlighting the brand's dedication to social responsibility. While Tony’s Chocolonely is on the pricier side, and some may desire a more refined texture, the exceptional taste and the ethical stand make it worth every penny. A solid 4 stars for a treat that not only satisfies your taste buds but also your conscience.

  • Does not taste like high-quality chocolate. I do love the mission of this brand, though, but the taste is just not there.

  • I love almost every flavor by Tony’s and it’s a great value for the price! I am however disappointed that their dark chocolate tastes more like a baking chocolate than a snacking one.

  • First experience with this brand was over a decade ago in Amsterdam. So lovely that they’ve expanded to the US and are expanding to educate the public on how chocolate is produced. Great cause, wonderful chocolate. If you can snag a seasonal or limited edition flavour, all the better!

  • I love Tony’s! The Salted Carmel is my favorite flavor. The multipack of mini bars is a wonderful housewarming gift for a host. The chocolate is rich and flavorful every time. The quality paired with nostalgic branding make this my one of my go-to candy bars.

  • The chocolate is good! It’s chocolate but it’s pretty expensive and nothing is that standout.

  • I love Tony's fun flavors but the one thing that I wish they had was more fun DARK chocolate flavors since I typically don't like milk chocolate as much.

  • THIS IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE. Not only does it taste incredible, but the company was founded to combat exploitation in the cocoa farming industry. Tony's has several flavors in their regular line up and also produces limited edition / seasonal flavors throughout the year. Highly recommend their caramel, hazelnut, and holiday peppermint bars!

  • Love every single bar I try of this. Thick chocolate, with lots of taste. Love the ethos behind it also.

  • Our favorite chocolate brand, and super reasonable prices compared to other similar chocolate brands. All the flavors are delicious. We may have an addiction.

  • Tony’s is the best. Love their brand values and intentionality behind their product. Also love their option to customize wrappers for fun events - did this for a birthday event and it was a hit! Super streamlined too

  • I love this chocolate! My first time tasting this chocolate was in the Netherlands and now, each time I see one of these I buy one because they are so delicious.

  • This chocolate is expensive however it is 100% worth it. I love their mission statement and how they do business.

  • I love how large and chunky the bars are, as well as the break of the chocolate. Love all the flavors as well, and the mission.

  • Super high quality and the flavors are great. Only complaint is they don't break very cleanly, so can be messy if not done with care. Definitely worth the extra cost.

  • Who doesn’t like a slab of chocolate which is not just delish but also ethically sourced and comes in so many variations?! It’s our family favourite.

  • listen. put down that hershey's bar right the hell now, and pick this up instead. the packaging is cuter, the flavors are better, but best of all, you can be confident that you aren't eating the product of child labor. i may be mildly allergic to chocolate, but when i want to brave the back-of-mouth burn and throat swelling for a little treat, this is the only option - and i promise i'm not biased because i happen to be a 'tony' as well (although i think they SHOULD give me a discount because of that)

  • Tony's chocolonely is iconic. Their mission to make chocolate fair, sustainable, and delicious makes them better than so many chocolate brands. Their flavor options are amazing and the packaging is 100% recyclable. LOVE LOVE LOVE & trust this brand.

  • The shapes, the shapes! I was thrown by the quirky shapes of this bar, though they were fun. I mean, looking into their reaison d'etre - slave-free chocolate industry-wide - how can anyone not 100% support that?! But I had the milk hazelnut bar, and found it was ok, but not great. The shapes almost made up for that though... almost...
