Other than all those above - and yes I found the Lidl one this week- is Cavalier Belgian chocolatier 85% with Stevia. It is difficult to find but delicious . Carbs 18.7g per 100g but that includes polyols 8.7g. Now why has no one mentioned Aldi's 85% which is always on sale. Can't give you the...

Very true . Maybe I should put a timer on to check!! I only eat a little root veg and only raw!!
