You admire the chocolate bar in your hand, mulling over the years of memories it inspires. You love everything about this bar, from its infallible solidity to the sleek silver letters spelling out H-E-R-S-H-E-Y-S across its wrapper. In your eyes, a company that creates such wonderful products can do no wrong. But you might think differently if you knew what went into the making of your chocolate bar.

For most first world countries chocolate is seen as an accessible treat, however in third world countries, the production of cocoa creates social issues that must be eliminated.
