The Ultimate Alter Eco Holiday Gift Guide

Delicious, Ethical, and Perfect for Everyone on Your List (Even the Difficult Ones)

Ah, the holidays. That magical time of year when we all pretend we’ve had our gift lists ready since September… while in reality we’ve just started the annual hunt for gifts that feel thoughtful, joyful, and meaningful. Good news: Alter Eco has your back and your stocking.

At Alter Eco, we believe gifts should taste incredible and do good for the planet. From silky-smooth truffles to bold, premium dark chocolate bars, every Alter Eco treat is made with clean ingredients, sourced through regenerative farming and fair-for-life partnerships that uplift farming communities in South America.

Whether you're stuffing stockings, charming a host, or assembling a decadent dessert board, here’s your definitive guide to Alter Eco goodies for every character in your holiday cast.

For the Food Purist: Dark Chocolate Bars

These are the bars for the friend who reads ingredient labels out loud for fun. Organic, non-GMO, gluten free, fair-for-life, B-Corp certified, the list goes on and on! These bars are rich, smooth, and ready for their dramatic close-up.

Top picks for gifting include:

• Super Blackout 90% – For the friend who believes sugar is a conspiracy.

• Brown Butter – Sweet, salty, and universally beloved.

• Quinoa Crunch – A grown-up crunch bar that politely destroys all others.

• Orange Blackout 90% – That perfect chocolate–citrus combo that says, “I am classy and I recycle.”

Perfect as stocking stuffers or bundle them into a decadent tasting flight that implies you spent way more effort putting together than you did.

PRO TIP – For the Blackout bars, pair with a Port wine to finish off your evening with a decedent treat. For the Dark bars, pair with a velvety Merlot for the perfect flight pairing.

For the Sweet Tooth: Truffles That Melt Hearts (and Mouths)

Picture the truffle of your dreams. Now imagine it with no weird preservatives, made with fair-for-life chocolate, and wrapped in a backyard-compostable wrapper (yes, even your trash can feel virtuous).

These velvety little gems make excellent hostess gifts, teacher treats, or a festive bowl filler for the holiday party you accidentally agreed to host.

Holiday-ready favorites include:

• Sea Salt Truffles – Smooth, balanced, and incapable of disappointing anyone.

• Salted Caramel Truffles – The headliner of holiday sweets, complete with its own spotlight and fan club.

• Classic Dark Truffles – Rich, timeless, and ideal for the friend who treats chocolate like a personality trait.

• Mint Crème Truffles – Creamy and nostalgic, a perfect holiday bite.

For the Explorer: Bold Flavors for Bold People

These flavors are for your adventurous friend - the one who goes hiking at dawn or says things like “I’m just going to try pickling this.” No fillers, nothing fake, just some of nature’s bold flavors packed into a clean chocolate bar that comes with a little thrill.

Standout picks:

• Sweet Ginger Truffle Thin – Warm candied spice + silky chocolate = your new winter romance.

• Passionfruit Crème Truffle Thin – Bright and creamy, a tiny burst of vacation energy.
