GHIRARDELLI Intense Dark Chocolate Squares, 92% Cacao, 4.1 Oz Bag (Pack of 6)

1 gram added sugar per 3 squares I counted 11 squares in a single 4.1 oz bag The flavor is pretty intense as you might expect, and slight hint of bitter, although I like it. If you've never tried anything above 60% cacao you might want to work your way up the percentages before you plunge for the six-pack of 92% (although the others have more sugar). The bag I just got with Amazon as a supplier had 15 months remaining until expiration.

Always good quality. This is not a sweet chandy. However, I like it since I am not hung up on real sweet chocolate like M&Ms.

I'm so in love with these Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate Squares. Admit it took me a few days to get use to the natural flavor of how pure dark chocolate is suppose to taste. What I mainly like to do is add one square to my oatmeal, along with Splenda after it's done. 2 Packs Plain Instant Oatmeal 2 2/3 Cups Water 2 Packs Splenda 1 Chocolate Square Microwave for 2 minutes 45 seconds. Absolutely GREAT! It's my goto breakfast now overtaking corn flakes with fruit on top (Yes, I'm easy to please!) So many delicious uses and it's good for you too. I've also noticed a definite increase in my Libido since eating these Dark Decadent Delights as a snack (Make sure to have at least one square every single day.) Looks like 2020 will be my best year ever. I know my lady friend agrees LOL!

This chocolate is clearly made for people who enjoy extremely dark cacao, and that becomes obvious right away. The bitterness is very strong, with almost no sweetness to balance it out, which made it hard for me to enjoy as a regular treat. The texture itself is smooth and melts evenly, so from a quality standpoint it feels well made. I tried having it on its own and also with coffee, and while the flavor softened slightly when paired with a drink, it was still more intense than I prefer. One square feels like plenty, and I couldn’t imagine eating more than that at a time. I understand the appeal for those who like bold, unsweetened chocolate, but for my taste it leans too far into bitterness. Even as someone who usually enjoys dark chocolate, this one felt more like something to tolerate than truly enjoy. It’s not unpleasant because of texture or freshness, just the flavor profile being very sharp. It serves a specific audience, but it’s not something I’d reach for when craving chocolate

My blood tests indicate pre-diabetes. So, what is a chocolate lover to do? I'm grateful for this chocolate in a low-sugar format, to which I've adapted. Buying a single bag is expensive, so I like saving a little money by buying six at a time - and online.
