All Cadbury's chocolate bars under 250 calories?!

[noblehead]

Hi. 85% Green and Blacks is the most rounded 85% chocolate I've tried; not bitter at all

It is nice, but Aldi's Moser Roth is just as delicious if not better and much cheaper than G & B's.

Moser Roth is very nice

90% is the best (lindt) and l would like to try some more of the 100% chocolate l tried in Chester, think l could get into that as well

Just read this about all cadbury's chocolate bars being under 250 calories each. It's interesting as I do think it's a good idea - but does that mean that people will soon not know what a proper portion size is and need that instructed to them? I do worry about the future generations!!

i know chocolate is very nice, it is what is in it that is harmful, the amount of fats suger etc, this alone is the main cause to how people get hooked and addicted to it, hidden ingredients not on the lable that makes peopke want more of it, and that is just chocolate and i think there are lots more hidden ingredients in other foods to affecting peoples health, there are people who can eat less and still gain high levels of weight and can even excercise and struggle, others can eat and never gain weight easy, depending on how a person's body is to another, i think there is not enough promotion on healthy food to eat most is junk food on tv, and even shelved nerar shop tills to attract people to buy, so the wrongs are not just about who buys it,it is those being allowed to sell the junk and how they get to promote it more to lure people in to eat it and they will know it is harmful yet they just want fast cash to make from it, a lot of unhealthy food should be banned, governments know it is harmful and have the power to stop this yet give it the go ahead, and the epidemics of ill healths are showing more and more,people can have a choice what they eat choose to eat it or walk away, yet when you walk in the streets and more shops are getting in to selling unhealthy food more than healthy it is like they are lured in or forced to buy it even if they do not really want it,it is damaging everyone even the kids,i think it is a concern how much it is getting out of control, food labels are not always something you can trust, genetic modified food is another concern when all fresh fruit and veg is altered and what reasons are not all ways truthful or clear. this is a lot to do with why people are struggling to keep healthy and fit. the food industry sadly is slowly killing people off and causing harm to peoples bodies with illnesses that emerge from those products.

There is a propaganda within the food industry of what is nutrient and because of easier food production and bigger profits!
The horse has bolted and the government has a vested interest in big business and not particularly in the health of the majority of the population.The horror stories you read are down to the change to 'the healthy diet' many years ago. When it is neither healthy or a diet!

I will always say that we are now in an epidemic, without the government and the NHS not allowed to change the circumstances!
If it was the plague, it would be different! More people have died in the last forties years of diabetic complications than the plague did in the Middle Ages.

Profit before health. A Tory doctrine!

Back to chocolate! I'm not doing without my little treat, my specialist and dietician have agreed to it!
I would love to try the 100%. Any shops sell it on the cheap?

You could try Holland & Barrett, can't say I've seen 100% chocolate in the likes of Aldi & Lidl, most is only up to 90%.

I'll tell the wife when she goes shopping, my local co-op only do small bars of 85%!

Wish it was Father's Day again!

Not exactly cheap, but I don't think you could scoff a lot of it so it would probably last a long time.

I love 100% chocolate and I used to hate any dark chocolate.
I usually get it from Hotel Chocolat, but it's not overly cheap.
I think it's £3.99 for a very small bar however that lasts ages when your only having a small amount.
They also give you it cheaper if you buy 3 or more.
You can buy from them online if you don't have a shop nearby and you can sometimes get free delivery.

I used to buy raw chocolate chunks (irregular lumps of the basic unprocessed paste) from eBay. If you searched for 'raw cacao paste' you might find it, or something similar.

At the time, I wasn't into it, but it was for my brother in law - and he loved it.

I love 85% and 90%. There is a 95% and 99 or 100% but I've never had it.
A colleague of mine love it too and she has tried the 99/100% but said she wasn't keen because it was too chalky. I just stick my finger in my tin of Bournville cocoa ;-). Delicious!!

Much the same for all chocolate bars, remember Yorkie Bars, one of the taglines was you couldn't eat the whole bar in one go, they are around half the size they once were

Modern "big sized" Mars bars are smaller than the standard one of my youth !

Yeah true Dave, you can tell by the carb values.

 

[bobandpat]

I don't like any of the dark chocolates to eat, it has to be milk chocolate for me to eat it.

I do use 85% for a fabulous chocolate mousse recipe I have. Only 17.5gm carbs per portion too. I buy the chocolate when we're in France though, it's much nicer than any that I've bought in th UK.

85% choccy keeps me sane. I actually tried the raw coca bean in dominican republic last year. You could buy it from the local farmers, i wont say what it looked like and if i had took some home, i might have got arrested for drug smuggling, but the tiny bit i tried was yuck at first, then they give you a smigden of brown sugar eat the 2 together and it tastes like chocolate. was fascinating. (wasnt on insulin then).

Oh and the pure ground coffee from the same farmers little coffee bean patch was gorgeous, its the only coffee i could drink without milk. so no extra nastiness added to make it go further. I bought some dominican coffee from the supermarket that i could legally bring home, that was still lovely. Just need another holiday now to have a look at their proper chocolate and see what that tastes like.
