Co-Op Fair Trade 85% chocolate.

You can buy the 100%stuff on Amazon - I use the Bakers version. Quite expensive though...

Isn't 100% just, erm, cocoa? 🙂

If you ground it down, yes. But if you want to melt it, cocoa as we buy it wont work well and you need the higher fat content in the bars.

My limit is 85% but l use the 90% if baking or raw cocao powder from H&B when their sale is on.

This must be a popular product as my Local Shop had none the other day, and I got the last 3 bars today in the Town Centre Branch!
My non Diabetic son has been eating this!

I bought some of the 70% the other day as it was reduced to £1 - shouldn't have! It tastes sooooooo different! 😱 And not in a good way! 😱 🙂

I did not see that one but then I was not really looking!

I bought some 75% from Aldi as they had no 85%. I was surprised how sweet it tasted.

I looked at the carbs and the 70% has 1g sugar more per square, ewww! 😱 Cough, spit! Still can't cope with 90% though 🙂

I can't seem to get the 85% in my local Aldi any more. I tried the 75%, yuk! Far, far too sweet, weird, who would have thought we would be saying that! :-D

Made a chocloate cake for the girls in work as its my birthday. Used 90% chocolate (Lindt) - so had to try abit, to check it was ok - it was lovely. (And the cake too, which was lo-carb - not no carb, chocolate and a little bit of sugar, but that was it, ground almonds not flour, made a slice less than 10g. Several people asking for the recipe!)
