Health: Sugar, Stevia and other Sweeteners

Why we don’t use Sugar

We believe there is an increasing number of people who either cannot have sugar or simply want to minimize sugar in their daily eating. We are committed to producing chocolate that promotes healthy pleasure while tasting wonderful. Read more about our philosophy

It's amazing how beneficial chocolate can become when you cut out the sugar, dairy and other fillers. You're left with a health food!

Even a little bit of sugar (in any form) can trigger undesired reactions and cravings. By substituting plant-based stevia, you get the enjoyment of a sweet treat without the problems associated with sugar. The chocolate we make can be a healthy option if you’re on a detox, special diet, or simply looking to eat less sugar!
