Lindt Excellence Extra Dark Chocolate 85% Cocoa, 3.5-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)

Healthy Good value

I have always loved dark chocolate and Lindt is excellent

Love it got loads left taste lovely

Thanks

I was disappointed that out of 12 bars of dark chocolate only eight were 85% dark chocolate. Two were 90% and two were 70%. Why was this as I ordered twelve bars of 85%. Paulin Wilkinson

I'm type 2 diabetic. So 85% dark chocolate is one of the safe ways to have a guilty treat. This pack comes with 12x 100g 85% dark chocolate bars. Chocolate is amazing, beautiful flavours, smooth. And because each square is 10g. I know I'm not spiking my diabetes. (Type 2 diabetics can have 20-30g or 2-3 squares of dark chocolate, a day.) But the Hermes courier that was used, was less than stellar. Didn't follow instructions, and box was damaged. Thankfully, I don't think the chocolate was damaged. But obviously can't check all 12 bars to make sure. So the chocolate is great, and diabetic friendly. But the courier service is bad, and that's being polite.

We have been really impressed with this purchase. I much prefer it to the 70% variety. We have just embarked on a Keto regime, so very low carb and ideal for both enjoying on its own and cooking with. We would buy again. I think it is reasonably priced as well. It came earlier than expected and well packaged.

Over the years I’ve transitioned from Hershey's dark to the Lindt 95%, but spouse wants something not quite as dark. These fit the bill. The chocolate is rich and not sweet-it takes a bit to get used to but once you do you’ll stick with these. The price is right and we buy the 12 pk to always have on hand. Versatile to enjoy plain, with PB or melt for a dip in recipes. I’ve been enjoying these since 2003 and the quality has remained excellent. We do keto and there’s roughly about 2.5 grams net carbs per small bar (7 grams net in 3 bars which they consider a serving size).

Great flavor

Very very chocolate, but not bitter. Just rich and powerful coca butter taste. If you are addicted to sugar this isn't for you. But if you want a high fat, low sugar rich chocolate that melts slowly in your mouth then buy a box, or two.

I love a bit of high percentage dark chocolate after dinner and the fact that there's such a low sugar content. I also enjoy the health benefits. The one thing that many don't realize is that high percentage cocoa in dark chocolate, percentage wise, has more caffeine than coffee (as a scientist I was aware of this, but hadn't experienced it as I had never eaten it within a few hours of bed). I have to be VERY careful eating it if I have it after a late dinner or I'll be awake most of the night. I tried the three square serving size (as a special treat) and that was too much too. I was wide awake and clear headed at 2am (it's a different caffeine feel than my espresso and coffee- more clean and no jitters). I'm going to try just one square only after earlier dinners. I'm hoping that won't be enough to disrupt my sleep as I love to eat little pieces of it and savor it after a lovely dinner when I crave a little sweet. So far only 85% has done it. I've had 70-72% before and it didn't happen, but it wasn't this brand. I also purchased the 70% in Lidnt, just in case, and it will arrive soon. If one square of the 85% proves to be too much caffeine within a few hours of bedtime, I'll switch to 70% and save the 85% for earlier or when I need to wake up lol. I don't often want even low sugar sweets during the day. I do prefer the 85% flavor, but losing sleep negates health benefits and the joy of enjoying the treat. I will update after trying this brand of 70%. I wish the 85% could taste exactly the same, have the health benefits, but be low caffeine or decaffeinated without losing benefits as I do prefer the low sugar, higher cocoa percentage flavor much better!
