Which chocolate has no sugar?
Traditionally, chocolate is made by combining unsweetened or ‘bitter’ chocolate with sugar, milk, flavours and other ingredients to transform it into the smooth and delicious sweet treat we know and love. But where does that leave people who have to limit their sugar intake?
Don’t worry – chocolate without sugar has been created so nobody has to miss out!
Is Sugar Free Chocolate really sugar free?
It depends. Most ‘no sugar chocolate’ does contain very small amounts of sugar, but this is typically much less than you would find in your standard chocolate bar off the supermarket shelf. Always check the label to see what you’re dealing with.
Is Sugar Free Chocolate better?
If you’re trying to reduce your sugar intake for whatever reason, then yes! Sugar free chocolate could be a better choice for you. It could be beneficial for:
- People who can’t consume much sugar
- Keto or paleo dieters
- Those who want a less sugar-laden snack

It depends what you’re looking for. A chocolate bar to replace your regular sweet snack? Bite size chocolate cookies full of cream and not sugar? We’ve gathered 6 of the best sugar free chocolate snacks available, with customer reviews to help you decide which to try first!
