Spiked my blood sugar. :-(
I was really torn about what star rating to leave here. This chocolate TASTES great, IMHO. But, as someone with prediabetes who eats a ketogenic diet for health reasons, I bought it to see if I could have a treat that wouldn't spike my blood sugar. Somehow, with tons of fiber and "2 neg grams of carbs," this spiked me 20 points after I inadvertently ate 2 ounces. Then, to be fair, I Googled images of a 1-ounce portion and tried again--(WHY is this not portioned in 1-ounce pieces?) and STILL spiked 15 points, both 2 hours afterward and again as a fasting level the next morning. So, if your aim is just to generally cut sugar, go right ahead. But, if you eat keto to prevent progression from prediabetes to diabetes or to control diabetes, this may not be the treat for you.
