LILY'S Intensely Dark Extra Dark Chocolate Style No Sugar Added, Sweets Bars, 2.8 oz (12 Count)

The chocolates are delicious. But careless packaging destroyed the contents.

dark, bitter, 92% cacao. Its dark chocolate, I eat it for the health benefits of the cacao. It takes a bit to get used to how strong it is but once you do it's a good snack. I'm diabetic and it doesn't affect my glucose negatively the only sweetener in this is stevia but has no effect on how it tastes really since the cacao is so strong. 4 pieces is about 30 grams (1 serving) but you don't have to eat it plain, shave it over some berries and yogurt or crumble it. Get creative with it

These were OK. Smaller than I expected and the taste wasn’t that great. I’ve pretty much tried every brand of dark-extremely dark chocolate and I kind of had high hopes for these. The price was a little high for the size of them too.

Best dark chocolate I’ve ever had

It's hard to find 92% chocolate! This is sweetened with stevia/erythritol so no added sugars (although those sweeteners may still be controversial). No adverse taste reactions at all for me from those two sweeteners here. The lead and cadmium content is much lower than other chocolates, too. Made with vanilla extract but I always taste a bit of coconut. Just delicious! BUT some on-line delving has revealed that this chocolate has dangerously high levels of cadmium and lead, a known problem with American dark chocolate. I am SO disappointed! The item is non-returnable, so beware.

Update: Below I was complaining about erythritol. Now Consumer Reports came out with an analysis that shows that Lily's is one of the few that exceed CA safe levels for both lead and cadmium. These can wreak havoc to one's health, though it's not clear to people as the damage is incremental and imperceptible. Such a shame because I LOVED this chocolate. Turning to Ghirardelli's that has very little sugar in the one strip I have per day. But I would much prefer stevia. I love the stevia as it allows me to eat the chocolate without much guilt, but for some reason they have erythritol. This only adds volume, so not sure why it's there. When I contacted them about the recent health concerns they showed no interest at all, giving bland response about how they check everything. Yes, years ago when the started the product. They need to stay up to date. Plus, to repeat, it has no purpose. Otherwise this is a good chocolate. Recommended.

In the past years if I consumed milk chocolate I would get pimples on my face. But since I have been taking Lily’s Intensely Dark, Extra Dark Chocolate, it has lowered my blood pressure significantly, and I no longer get pimples on my face.

Healthy morning snacks, bitter and not sweet!
