Review of 'Continental' Extra Dark Chocolate

Continental -- Extra Dark Chocolate (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: I really enjoyed this. It's very sweet and not very much darker/more bitter than the Continental Dark Chocolate. It also doesn't have an odd aftertaste like the Dark Chocolate It's pretty soft--not too brittle or hard. It's a bummer that there's not much info on the brand, but if you're looking for an affordable vegan treat, you can find these for $1 at the Sears outlet!

Where to buy: Sears outlet
Ingredients: chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin and natural vanilla flavour.

Sure, I doubt that this brand that doesn't even have a website (that I could locate, anyway) is going to be committed to GMO-free ingredients, but at least there isn't a huge list of ingredients and trans fats, right? The nutrition is actually pretty decent...it has a whopping 60% iron and a solid 5g of fiber. The 6 pieces per serving are actually sizable and the 220 calories were worth it for me.

I won't be buying this bar again simply because I don't know enough about the brand.

Other flavours:
Brand:
  • Unfortunately, I could not locate *any* information on this product online. Is that even possible?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
  • From the wrapper, I gathered that it's imported by 'Premier Brands' 77 Nantucket Blvd., Toronto, ON, M1P 2N5
  • Product of Germany
