janet, I get the 85% Trader Joe's chocolate bars that are quite
inexpensive and are also quite low carb and eat about a quarter ofo the
package(<1 oz) for a servig. I find them very good and so much cheaper
than the Lindt or Ghiradelli or other "fancy" bars sold in my areal. The
chocolare may not be quite a suave, if you understan what I am trying to
say, but it has a nice robust chocolate taste that stisfies me and at
$1.45 a bar instead of around $3.)) it is just fine!
