Has anyone tried Montezuma's British chocolate? It is very dark 'ABSOLUTE BLACK', try the one that is WITH ORANGE & COCOA NIBS.

It is £2.50 in Sainsbury's for a 100g bar but I get no raised levels or spikes due to very low carb and sugar content.

Per 100g - Fat 54g, Carbs 8g, Sugar 0.3g and Per 25g - Fat 13g, Carbs 2g, Sugar <0.1g

Cheers
 
Hi @JohnJ :)

Would you like me to move this to the Food section for you where it will be mo easily found by other members?

The OP has included the nutritional info in their post @kaylz91

Both flavours of the Montezuma's chocolate sound really nice, still say for value & quality you can't beat the brands in Aldi & Lidl (Moser Roth & J.D Gross).
 
I usually stock up with LIDL's J.D.Gross Ecuador 70% Dark Chocolate With Caramel. I think it's £1.89 for a 125 gm bar.
It's higher carb content though than the Montezuma's, at 41 gms of carbs per 100 gms, 5.1 gms per 12.5 gm square.

Yes but I wasn't meaning just these flavours I stated I would love to try the brand x
 
Chocologic dark chocolate is around 18g carbs per 100g and tastes a lot sweeter than normal dark chocolate. You can get this in Tesco and Morrisons and it also comes in a buttons version.

I like the fact that I can eat a whole bag of chocolate and it only has 14g carbs. Not that this is a regular thing

The Montezuma orange is 26 percent sugar - way over what I allow myself, I stick to those under 20, under 15 percent if I can find it.

I know it's a bit high, but I only have a couple of squares when I get some.
 
Here's an image of the back with nutritional info..

I was treating myself to 2 squares of 90% Lindt dark. Which was a surprising 14g carb per 100. Considering a small dairy milk is approx 30 odd per 35g bar. But 8 per 100 on the 100% is an amazing find @JohnJ

Will be keeping my eye out for this.

The hotel chocolate 90% stuff is amazing. But expensive. But lasts for ages as a little is enough.
 
For anyone interested, Lindt has a very nice 90 percent bar. At 90 percent you certainly can't eat the whole thing. I usually have 2 squares. That's enough. The price is reasonable in my local stores too.

Take care everyone.
