I would suggest the Hotel Chocolat Supermilk range - its over 70% cocoa but if you dont like bitter chocolate its as close to a "normal" milk chocolate as I think you'll find. I know we're all different but I don't spike on this.......in moderation. Good luck and enjoy!Not had chocolate since diagnosis, have always found dark chocolate too bitter. Perhaps time to try it again. We all deserve a treat now and again x
Listed Ingredients, per 100g:What does "100% cocoa" mean, is it just a block of cocoa with no other ingredients?
oooh nom nom, sounds a great way to spread that cocoa buzz, def going to try your variation, thanks!I use hotel chocolate 100% buttons
Nice with raspberries, Greek yogurt and a few walnuts.
Yes. It used to be in Sainsbury's.I've ditched Lindt 90% as I've discovered UK manufactured Montezuma's Absolute Black,100% Cocoa. Unlike Lindt 99% which tastes disgusting, the Montezuma is great, with <0.5% sugar content. It's expensive, at £2.60/100g but there's no need to eat a lot of it as it provides an enormous Cocoa hit! Waitrose is the only store that I've seen it in. Has anyone else tried this?
I only used to have milk chocolate and found dark too bitter; but, after avoiding things with obvious sugar content for so long, I quite enjoy it now.Not had chocolate since diagnosis, have always found dark chocolate too bitter. Perhaps time to try it again. We all deserve a treat now and again x
Don't worry. It will soon be flogged off to somebody.Listed Ingredients, per 100g:
Fat 54g [Sats 33g]
C/H 8g [Sugars<0.5g]
Protein 12g
Fibre [??] 17g
Na+ 0.02g
God knows where the fibre comes in - it doesn't taste like old rope.
Anyway, I think it tastes as good as Lindt 90%, has insignificant sugar & in #Brexit Britain, is UK manufactured!

Just FYI about the postage - you can get 2 bars for £6 or 6 bars for £15.45 on Amazon with free delivery (presume that cost is somehow worked into the slightly higher price).I just looked up Montezuma Chocolate's website and see that they do 2 other varieties of their 100% Dark chocolate. One has almonds and the other cocoa nibs with orange oil. Reviewers on the website give them all rave reviews.
I don't think Waitrose stocks anything other than the plain 100% dark. Montezuma will mail chocolate to you but adding £5 p&p to a £10.36 order for 4 bars seems a bit extravagant. I think I'll wait and see.
I've tried the Montezuma 100% choc block, which I got from Sainsbury's, the only place locally that I found it in stock. Biggest problem I had with it was trying to break the ruddy stuff; in the end I had to resort to my smallest tack hammer & a wooden chopping board on the garage floor!!
Your post just brought back a memory, my father use to like the Scottish Tablet Toffee where you'd get a little hammer in the packaging, the stuff was impossible to break and when it did it would break into a thousand bits
