Excellence Bar, 70% Cocoa, 12pk

I’ve been trying to eat better snacks, and Lindt’s 90% dark chocolate is definitely one I keep coming back to. It’s rich and smooth without being too bitter, which is hard to find in really dark chocolate. I bought the 12-pack to stock up and ended up subscribing because it’s that good. I usually have a square or two after dinner or while working. It tastes like real chocolate, not overly sweet, and it feels like a treat that’s actually doing something good — it has antioxidants and things that can help with heart and brain health. A couple of things to keep in mind: This chocolate has caffeine, so it’s not the best to eat late at night if you want to sleep well. If you’re taking iron supplements or eating foods high in iron (especially plant-based iron), try not to eat this chocolate at the same time because it can make it harder for your body to absorb the iron. Like many dark chocolates, it can have small amounts of lead and cadmium because of where the cocoa is grown. It’s not something to worry about if you eat it in moderation — just don’t make it a daily habit in large amounts. Overall, this chocolate tastes great, feels smooth, and is worth having on hand. Just enjoy it thoughtfully.
