I bought three
bars of
chocolate and
hid them in a
plastic bag
way in the
back of the
freezer so we
could do the
taste test…
when I went to
get them, all
that was left
were the
wrappers...

Chocolove
I bought three flavors - Cherries with almonds for Katie, Raspberry for Max, and for my
husband, Matthew, crystallized ginger--by the time the groceries were unpacked, they
were almost gone! I got a taste of each, they were truly marvelous.
Michigan cherries and roasted California almonds in Belgian Dark Chocolate (my

Green and Black’s Organic--Dark 70%
Julie’s favorite, this is plain, smooth, really dark chocolate. Perfect for low-carb dieting
where you’re looking for high cocoa content and a decent amount of fiber.

240 cal, 16g fat, 19g carb, 3g fiber, 4g protein. Available at every health food store I’ve
been in lately.
Endangered Species Chocolate Company. (the ones with the animals on the wrapper.)
“This is the best!” my daughter, Katie, says. “It helps the animals when you buy it. Each
different animal package has a different flavor--like espresso or raspberry or almond. I
like the dark and white chocolate swirl bar. That’s Panda.”
Lindt Excellence – 70% Extra Fine Dark Chocolate
Really good dark chocolate that snaps off when you bite it.

Yamate Chocolatier, Dark, Sugar Free
Serving size: 1/2 3 oz. bar
190 cal, 18g fat, 19g carb, 5g fiber, 3g protein
You won’t believe it’s sugar-free and, in fact, it’s not. This not- too-sweet, lower-carb
chocolate contains Maltilol a “sugar alcohol” a popular new way of sweetening without
affecting blood sugar. But those carbs count and so do the calories. I buy mine whenever
I find it, irregularly, at Whole Foods Market.
