It's 50g a full bar so only 4g of carbs.
Now it is a bit more bitter than the 90% version but does the trick.
I've become partial to a square or 2.

I tried a small square of the Ghiradelli 92% Dark Chocolate - can't handle the bitterness. Think I need to start with the lowest percentage and work my way up.

I tried some Sainsbury's Ugandan 90% and that was a bit bitter for my liking as well. As a newcomer to dark chocolate through necessity, I guess it is something that you can get a taste for in time!

My husband brought some home a couple of weeks ago -very fancy internal packaging, perhaps to make up for the fact that the squares are very small. I'm used to the 95%. The initial taste was a bit overwhelming, a couple of squares were enough, but I suspect it would be all too easy to get used to the flavour. (Chalky and bitter, yes, but oh so chocolately, also.)

I’m a 95% bar from Lidl’s girl. One square a day. Yum! And not too dear.

I eat that, I use a chunk to scoop out a bit of peanut butter. It gets a little messy, as long as I don’t wipe my hands on my shirt, I’m good

I saw the lindt the other day but at £2.99 for 50g it stayed firmly on the shelf.
Lidl for me at£1.50 or so for 100g
