GHIRARDELLI Intense Dark Chocolate Bar, 72% Cacao, 3.5 Oz Bar (Pack of 12)

While transitioning from a sugar and carb based diet at 345lbs onto a weight loss plan of my own design, I committed my budget towards1/2 to 1 whole bar per day after my evening meal. This has helped remove any cravings I had in the evening time without resorting to high carb/sugar snacks. I may wean myself off these at some point but to date, after 13 months, I have lost 100lbs so I'll keep eating these for now.Oops, May 2025 update: The price has increased over 30% since I purchased these last month. Looks like chocolate is now off the menu.

Ghiardelli 72 percent is one of the few dark chocolates that contains little or no lead and cadmium. It has such a smooth, rich taste, aside from being one of the safer dark chocolates to eat. This is the only chocolate I buy.

Prompt arrival, well packed, delicious, and from Gharadelli, a manufacturer known for high quality chocolate!

ConsumerLabs gives this a high quality review and I like it.

Good chocolate. Ghirardelli generally makes good chocolate products. The 72% is my favorite for eating.

Excellent chocolate 🍫 doesn't contain any led like other chocolate.

A very good dark chocolate, made in USA, at a good price. Maybe not quite world class Belgian, but we like it, and we’re chocolate-crazy. It’s personal taste anyway, but worth a try if you have not had the brand.

Product from SF, good as gift for people in California traveling internationally.
