Which ingredients are found in the best dark chocolate candy or treat? Lots of chocolate of course and not much else. A great candy bar can be made with as few as three ingredients.

Read the wrapper. If the list of ingredients is long, stop! Drop the candy, and shop on. That candy is probably short on quality and taste.

Don't settle for a substandard product. Forgo the fake substitutes. You deserve the best, now learn to distinguish it from the rest.

Ingredients

Shopping for a great dark chocolate candy bar or treat? Choose the one with the fewest and finest ingredients. Here are the ones you want to find listed on the wrapper...
  • real chocolate-aka cacao beans, cocoa liquor, cocoa mass, chocolate liquor, bittersweet chocolate

  • sugar, cane sugar, organic raw cane sugar, beet sugar

  • added cocoa butter

  • cocoa powder or cocoa-natural, non-alkalized

  • soy lecithin

  • vanilla, real vanilla, vanilla beans, Bourbon vanilla

  • cacao nibs

Real chocolate and sugar are essential. Use of the other ingredients is determined by the manufacturer's recipe.

These are the premium ingredients you'll want in any chocolate treat or product. Bar, baked or frozen without these it's not the best.

Try bars from several companies. You may be surprised at the differences in taste.





Cost

Yep, expect to pay a little bit more for quality ingredients. No surprise there!

But you can save a little money by choosing candy made with cocoa powder like this Lindt Swiss dark chocolate bar. The powder increases the cocoa content without raising the price as much.

Remember it's the total cocoa content that's really important. Make a healthy choice, select a bar with 70 percent cocoa or more.



Best Dark Chocolate Candy?

So which candy bar is best? Is it...
  • Dove Dark Chocolate

  • Hershey's Special Dark or Cacao Reserve

  • Lindt 70%-the Swiss bar mentioned above

  • Green and Black's Organic 70% cocoa
or is it one of the thousands of others? Only you and your buds can figure that out. Sample as many bars from different makers as you can.

Each uses their own blend of beans and roasting process.

Search out the subtle flavor differences till you find your favorite.
