All about Chocolate 

Here are my favorite chocolate brands. Feel free to use any of these brand or even make your own using this recipe or this one. These brands are all soy and dairy free. 

• Equal Exchange 80% Extra Dark Chocolate. I LOVE this stuff!! Each square only has 1 Net Carb, and it is the best tasting chocolate I have tried. I ALWAYS have some in the pantry. Even my hubby who HATES dark chocolate “kinda” likes this brand! I am happy he doesn’t like it so he will leave it alone!  (FYI, I have seen this Chocolate Bar in Whole Foods.)

• Equal Exchange 70% Cacao Chocolate Chips. I normally just chop up my 80% chocolate bar above to use in cookies but I was SO happy to see that Tropical Traditions has begun selling 70% Cacao Chocolate Chips! I have never seen chocolate chips (at least the REAL kind) with this amount of cacao! 

• Enjoy Life Brand Chocolate Chunks. These chips are great. They have a bit more sugar, but at least they don’t contain soy lecithin, dairy, and artificial flavoring. Stock up on them HERE. (They can also be purchased at Whole Foods.)
