Guess what I found in Aldi, Dark 85% cocoa chocolate with 4.6g carbohydrate in a 25g bar (5 bars per pack). I haven't tasted it yet, I wanted to ask if it counts as an occasional, low carb treat.
Carbohydrate 4.6g of which sugars 3.5g.Will have to get some to try it out remember only in moderation may I ask how much do it sugar down to

Oh @1abRat I really hope that you're pulling our legs. I promise never to mention that C word again. XI really didn't like the Aldi 85% (Moser Roth) and I love dark chocolate, I thought it was waxy tasting with no depth. The Tesco 85% stuff in the fancy packets is good and has a lovely nutty, fruity taste and so is the ASDA stuff. Green and Black's 85% is a bit more expensive but also delicious.
I can spend hours in Hotel Chocolat, they do a lot of 85%+ chocolates and I love them all!
Hmmm is it wrong that I'm now planning a trip to Hotel Chocolat in my lunch break.....after all, there might be reductions.....or free samples........droool!!!

I feel guilty now for tempting you. I don't eat much chocolate, I really dislike the gooey feeling you get in your mouth from milk chocolate. I only put the post on because I have had so much help and advice from forum members since joining in January I wanted to share something nice. If you do decide to pay a visit take a long detour to get the exercise in ha ha. XHa-ha well, it is only across the road from my lab! I can almost see the shop! Definitely worth a lunchtime constitutional, you know, to get the insulin going after my lunch....cough...

@1abRat you are an inspiration. I have been wearing a fitbit and struggle to clock 10,000 steps a day. Keep up the good work. XOh no worries here. I eat a small bit of chocolate every day, I also average 20,000 steps a day, cycle four days a week, have a BMI of 20.8 and a HbA1c of 5.4% and eat around 10-12 fruit/veg a day (mainly veg).
Chocolate can be part of a healthy, balanced diet I promise! All things in moderation as they say!
