i thought i was the only one that found this.
Makes it more pure.
btw, Chocolate is not good for dogs.
Other:
Healthier than high sugar chocolates, tasty and not addictive.90-95% is healthy but too bitter for chocolate. Tastes like dirt.
Normaly milk chocolate is too unhealthy with too much sugar and other ingredients.
I prefer something around 70%.
Once you start eating 90%, feel 70% is too sweet
Yes 70% is perfect balance for me too.
If you cut out most sugars from your diet you will notice you will grow to like it; especially with a glass of red in winter!
I experienced it first hand
I think like fruit and vegetables, it's over-rated, but not to the extent of being a scam (like sunscreen is).
Sunscreen is a scam? Is skin cancer also a scam?
He is referring to my post
Tastes very similar to the chocolate laxatives that I was given when I was young. Has much the same effect also.
Love dark bitter chocolate, don't like milk chocolate which is too sweet.
Normal dark chocolate's (e.g. Old-Gold) flavour isn't strong enough.
I don't consider it healthy.Surely we must be close to the last layer of this onion?
Frankly surprised it hasn't become a "dark chocolate is a product of the dark web" conspiracy theory … yet.
Here you go another layer
Not my bag. May as well just eat cocoa powder straight.
Except cocoa powder is 100% solids, 0% fat. Big difference.
Big difference.
Not in taste, IMHO!
you want around the 70%
Most people eat way too much sugar.
I eat Lindt 95% mainly for the caffeine content (sensitive to caffeine), I also don't mind the taste. I'd probably eat 99% if it was readily available.1% better
That is crap. You want cacao powder.
Honestly i dont find it bitter anymore, other say it's trash taste whatever, I just find it tastes like chocolate with no sugar that's it.
When i first had it, it did taste quite bitter, but now honestly it just tastes normalKeto friendly
I prefer it these days, don’t really like normal milk chocolate on its own anymore
Regardless of %, so long as you suck on it and let it melt/ dissolve in your mouth, rather than chew it, it completely changes your dark-chocolate eating experience.
If you eat healthy and rarely snack on sugary stuff, it tastes amazing.
If you regularly stuff your face with sugary snacks, it tastes like dirt.
I find dark chocolate tastes best first thing in the morning with a coffee before you eat anything else.
I love dark chocolate. lindt 90-95% is my favourite. I tried their 97%….that extra 2% was the breaking point. didnt like that.
a square of it with coffee releases the nice coco flavour.
I loooooooove chocolate. Some dark chocolate can be okay and certainly eatable, but some of it is too strong and bitter for me.
We were recently given a big box of "strong" dark chocolate bunnies which no one else wanted so the kids and I melted it down as an experiment, and added milk and sweetened / condensed milk and sugar, then froze it. Just to see how it would taste. It was absolutely awful.
Aldi 80% is tasty
