My dad is diabetic, but unlike others, he doesn't refrain from consuming his favorite sweetened chocolate. In order of importance, when my son was born, he became the love of his life, with my mom following a close second. I, his only child, don't know where I fall between a chocolate food product and their velvety-soft-droopy-eared dog.
I phoned him to say the package of chocolaty goodness had arrived at his post office, knowing it would seal my place in the family at the end of the cacao bars and an elderly dog at death's door. But, the goal is to get my dad to have his favorite sweet without it raising his blood sugar. Or is that my mom's goal?
He is a commoner and doesn't view chocolate like a fine bottle of wine. He doesn't use his senses to smell the aroma, taste the fullness of cacao, view the breadth of color, comment on the velvety texture, nor listen for the chocolate to whisper the secrets of the cacao bean.
He consumes his chocolate like a supermarket bar; never milk chocolate. Dad says,"Hmmm, tastes good. I'll know for sure after I finish the package." And he requests,"Until then, no one touch my sugar free chocolate."

I purchased the 50% ChocoZero and had it shipped to my dad. He says as long as I keep supplying him with the sugar free chocolate, there is no reason for me to visit, except to drop my son off for Thanksgiving, winter break, spring break, and summer vacation.I wonder what he'd say if I cut him off cold turkey?
Very good. I ordered the 85, the 70 and the 50. My order just arrived so I had to try each one. They all taste great but I think I enjoyed the 70 the best. I am diabetic and eat a low carb diet (20-30 carbs per day) and have looked high and low for a nice treat that won't blow up my meter. Just to give an example of how well this chocolate is, I did eat one of all three percentages, meter reading before chocolate was 89, 2 hours afterward my meter reading was 85. I am calling this chocolate a complete success.
Best sugar free chocolate I've ever had. Great product, and even a better seller. Rich flavorful taste, low calories, no sugar and no artificial sweeteners - what more can you ask for? I've had stomach issues with plenty of other sugar free chocolates and sweets, but this one feels like eating a salad.
I've had bad shipping experience, where USPS, by far and away the worst mail carrier in USA, has dropped the package on the sun deck in direct sunlight, and it melted by the time I got home and picked it up. Not only the seller apologized, issued a full refund, but they also re-sent me another package like the one I ordered, and a couple of extras - all at no charge! They also took seriously and implemented every advise I gave them how to label the package, to avoid mail carrier mistreating perishable goods. These amazing people deserve their business to thrive, for both - quality of their products and customer service. Will definitely be ordering from ChocZero again in the future.
I was hesitant about purchasing as I read the one star reviews, but after a recommendation from a person I interacted with, I tried it. Most of the one stars complained that it was all melted when they received it. If you buy from Amazon you should know the exact arrival day, I would expedite shipping, and get to my mailbox as soon as it arrives if in hot weather. The day I received it was quite hot, and mailboxes are steel. It does come with two ice packs, while they were still cold, they were completely melted. Now for the review, I love this chocolate, I purchased the 70% and highly recommend it. There is a taste but it is very slight and not overpowering, kind of coconut flavor, just a hint, (guessing that's the fruit). But unlike the low rating reviews, I actually loved it. I think by far this is the best sugar-free chocolate I've tasted and worth the splurge. If you are on keto, paleo, Atkins, or other low-carb diet and you need chocolate, I highly recommend this one.
Absolutely love it! This one is very much tasting like true dark chocolate, which means you wont be getting the sweetness of a Dove Milk chocolate or even a Dove Dark Chocolate. There is definitely the bitterness of dark chocolate, but that happens even in commercial dark chocolate products. If tongue is used to sugar and triggers dopamine at it, this one is going to be a bitter shock and will need "heavy acquiring to the taste". But if you have been working on re-aligning your taste buds for a while now (maybe for a month or more), then this one fits right up there. Its chocolatey delicious, and the ingredients and the nutritional numbers are dang good. Three pieces of this post dinner fits right good as a "post dinner dessert treat". I should try the 50% version to see if the sweetness feels more (for some ppl in my family who are not yet attuned in their tongue to this).

The Story of ChocZero
As a small company focused on sugar free chocolate, we knew that the path to creating an artisanal chocolate would be twice as hard to be as good. But we chose to walk it anyway, believing that cutting out sugar is the future and that it's time to choose healthy alternatives. Our chocolate has no sugar alcohols and no artificial sweeteners, with no soy either. Your health matters and so do your tastebuds so why sacrifice either?
Oh yes. Yes, indeed. I've bought buttloads of this stuff. Excellent chocolate considering that there's no sucrose in it. I also love that there are no sugar alcohols in it, which can impair digestion!
WOW! This chocolate is wonderfully good! Trying to minimize my carbs and still enjoy a chocolate treat, this truly is "a guilt-free chocolate confection" that tastes "sinfully healthy" and totally scrumptious!
All of them, of all chocolate percentages, are delicious. I can tell it's not sugar, but it's deliciously sweet. It goes well in trail mix or with coconut cream or melted into mac&cheese or in any use for candy.
I've tried a lot of other non-sugar candies, and my reaction is always blech, BLECH, or sickness. This is the only low-carb candy I'll eat.
This product is a keto-ers dream! Creamy, satisfying and awesome for anyone with dairy allergies or erythritol sensitivities. I am already a lifelong customer. If I could beg them to endorse their product in return for ChocZero, my life would be complete. Thank you ChocZero!!
I love semi-sweet chocolate. Normally this concentration (in "regular" chocolates) would have a slight bitter taste to it but this doesn't. It, like all of ChocZero's products) is incredibly smooth. You get so much more of the chocolate taste than with any other brand of chocolate and believe me, I've tried many, many different kinds from all over the world. If you like the 70%, I would encourage you to try their sampler as you just might find that you like the even higher concentrations because once again, they're all smooth. I sometimes pair the 70% and higher ones with a small slice of sharp cheddar cheese and it's delightful.
