Most big supermarkets sell it, seen it in Asda and Morrisons. Aldi do their own 85% dark chocolate and it's delicious and much cheaper than G & B.

edit, it's called Moser Roth and comes in 5 individual bars at around 4g of carbs each bar.

When I fell off the wagon yesterday afternoon, I landed bang in the middle of a box of Moser Roth truffles! Three carbs per truffle.... Delicious! Half a box soon disappeared with little effect on my BG. 6.2 before bed. Yum.

I use G&B cocoa for baking. Its the best cocoa Ive ever tried. Chocolate is good too. Once i bought G&B dark chocolate with cherries and it was delicious (but they dont sell it in many shops). I like also Menier and Tesco 74%, both much cheaper than G&B. Always check the carb content, around 30g per 100g chocolate is alright

It's the Devil's temptation. Resist it and return to the path of diabetic righteousness.

Happy New Year everyone!
I used G&B 85% chocolate to cover Brazil nuts, almonds and small pieces of dried apricot to make a mixed box of chops for my first Christmas as a diabetic. The tempering process was a bit laborious but not difficult, and they look and taste great. Spanglegem.

Oh my mouth is watering.....before I knew I was prediabetic I never had much of a sweet tooth but now there are times I could kill for something a bit sweet or chocolatey
