The chocolate bars are Lindt Excellence Bars, 70% Dark Smooth Chocolate. If you are looking for a sweet milk chocolate...this ain't it. This is a very nice dark chocolate, smooth, with a hint of berry, and a lovely "snap". I usually limit myself to 3 squares...12-13 carbs...If I remember correctly. A serving is 4 squares...19 carbs minus 3 for fiber=16 carbs= 4 per sq. I'm careful to keep it occasional. Easy for me because dark chocolate isn't my first choice, but this tames a crave so that I'm not dreaming about chocolate and immediately in trouble and out of control. To my palette, it's rich, doesn't take much. The DD had me share her bar before even discussing the benefits of the bar with me...Nothing works if you hate the taste! 😃
If a product says low fat, low carb, no sweeteners...I give it a pass. When they remove the fat or carbs or sugar, whatever they are replacing it with, is NOT good for you. ☺

Thank you, VCESS, I will look for these bars. Actually, I'm a fan of dark chocolate so these sound like they are right up my alley. Like you, I don't feel the need for chocolate that often, but it would be nice to have once in a while. Thanks for the info. I don't know anyone else who is diabetic. Nobody in my family or friends, so I don't have anyone to compare notes with. I got diabetes after gaining 50 lbs while undergoing chemotherapy for a year for breast cancer back in the 80's. I lost the weight and have had no recurrence of the cancer, but still have the diabetes.
