Could candy serve as a positive force in the world? Sure, why not? One look at the website for Good Karmal shows a candy company different from the rest. Instead of flashy graphics designed to grab your attention, the site opts for the serene and the simple. Oh, and they only sell one product: caramel, but not just any caramel. Theirs is hand-made and individually wrapped with an inspirational quote. Not only that, but they donate 10% of sales to environmental charities like the National Arbor Day Foundation and The Nature Conservancy.
These candies are apparently popular among the celebrity elite, and even made the list of Oprah’s Favorite Things. Pretty high marks for something that tickles the sweet tooth. Befitting their gourmet status, Good Karmal’s caramels aren’t cheap: nine pieces costs $22.50. But they’re packed in an elaborate, woven keepsake box, and a portion of that money does go to charity.
Eat candy, save the environment. I can definitely get behind that idea!
