Bacon Chocolate and Sunflower Beverage

The Delivery: Rescue Chocolate Fakin’ Bacon Bar and Sunrich Naturals Sol Sunflower Beverage

Staff Pick: Fakin’ Bacon Bars

The DL: In addition to creating unique flavors, Rescue Chocolate gives 100 percent of its proceeds to animal-rescue organizations, making it a super sweet treat. Speaking of super sweet, it's Halloween weekend! Still haven’t found a costume? Our weekly web round-up Traffic Jam has just what you need. And if you’re curious about which candy is safe to pass out to vegan trick-or-treaters, look no further than The Official Guide to Vegan Halloween Candy. No matter the holiday, VegNews has you covered, so be sure to check back this November for all of your Thanksgiving needs. 

Truffles! Lots of them!

The Date: Wednesday, September 22

The Delivery: Truffles and chocolates galore.
Staff Pick: Nicobella Organics chocolate-covered nut clusters.

The DL: Um, THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER. Just look at all those truffles! Sadly, we must wait tortuously until a few other brands arrive before conducting our definitive, extra-official, very serious truffle taste-test which will appear in the January+February 2011 issue. Fortunately, Nicobella Organics knows what's up, because they also sent us their new chocolate-covered nut clusters. We are dying to dig into the Dark Chocolate Maple Pecans, which feature a touch of sea salt, and "a touch of sea salt" is the best thing you can do to chocolate. (You heard it here first!) Pair that with Elizabeth's Quinoa Salmon Salad, and you have one amazing Wednesday of food.

Every Dollar Counts

Date: Wednesday, February 24
The Delivery: Three Rescue Chocolate bars, a thought-provoking book, Nasoya's new Tofu Plus, and NuGo Nutrition energy bars
Staff Pick: On a Dollar a Day by Christopher Greenslate and Kerri Leonard

The DL: Social justice teachers, Greenslate and Leonard—both vegan—decided to start eating on one dollar a day for a month in order to help show the true cost of feeding a family in America. Looks like a fun and inspiring read!
