Question:
Do low caloric density vegan chocolate treats exist or is it a higher caloric density treat to be enjoyed occasionally?
— Holly Davis
Answer:
Well, I think all desserts, uh, all sweets and I would put dark chocolate in that category are treats, um, to be enjoyed occasionally. Now chocolate should not have oil in it and none of the bars that I showed you had any oil chocolate is cocoa mass, also called cocoa liquor and sugar. And we're, because we're doing organic vegan chocolate, so that would be organic cane sugar, which is less processed or a brand like Hue, uh, which uses coconut sugar but no oil. There should not be oil in your chocolate bars.
