If you're looking into healthy chocolate products, make sure to read this site before investing a dime! I spent many hours developing the content because I was looking into a chocolate business and wanted to make sure I was involved with the healthiest option I could find.

Then I've taken that information and applied it to my reviews on particular brands. Reviews are based on these points rather than on taste, which is subjective.

Chocolate is of course big business, and many companies want to claim that they're the healthiest. Hopefully this will help you to make your decision on the chocolate that's right for you.
