The holidays have arrived, which ushers in the debut of many limited-edition holiday flavors of our favorite snacks. To make your search easier, I’ve compiled 5 top quality gingerbread flavored treats that you’ll want to add to your stocking immediately. The spiced cherry on top? They’re all making a positive impact on the world through their chosen social initiatives!

1. Gingerbread Dark Chocolate Bar by Askinosie Chocolate

This seasonal bar is made with smooth Tanzania dark chocolate, infused with a unique blend of five spices and a bit of unrefined organic cane sugar for a velvety chocolate bar with hints of ginger, nutmeg, and warm cinnamon. Tied with a ribbon and topped with a pearlescent gift tag, this limited edition bar is an easy and delicious gift.

One spoonful and you’ll swear you’ve just had a gingerbread cookie from Grandma’s house. This nut and seed butter contains the perfect balance of cinnamon, ginger, a touch of cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. Coconut sugar adds a touch of sweetness but only adds 4g of sugar per serving, making this spread the perfect holiday snack.
