Just the name alone of SkinnyMe Premium Chocolate was enough for me to accept an invitation to try some of its health-focused chocolate.
Here’s the skinny on SkinnyMe: the gluten-free and Keto-friendly chocolate doesn’t have any sugar; instead, it uses Stevia as a sweetener. As a result, each serving is about 45-50 calories and 5 g. of carbs. At a similar 11 g. serving, a Hershey’s bar has 56 calories and 6.4 g. of carbs. A four-pack of bars costs $21.80.
I appreciated the relatively softer texture of the SkinnyMe chocolate. Too many chocolate bars are too hard, which doesn’t allow you to maximize your enjoyment.
The first one I tried was the creamy milk, and indeed it was creamy as well as delicious. Interestingly, it takes a few chews before you sense the sweetness. Once you get to that point, SkinnyMe takes like a chocolate bar with sugar in it. For that, I really liked it.
The bold dark is the same way. SkinnyMe did a good job of reducing the bitterness often associated with dark chocolate. Meanwhile, the birthday cake flavor reminded me of frosting and sprinkles. It was quite a fun trip for my taste buds.
Other flavors of the chocolate bars include toasted coconut and banana split. I ate the mint chip ice cream version in individual square form. It reminded me of Andes chocolate mints, and it was my favorite of all the flavors I sampled.
SkinnyMe Chocolate also makes peanut butter cups, hot cocoa and baking melts. I used the milk chocolate baking melts ($24.48 for a three-pack of bags) in brownies, and I could not tell that the chocolate was sugar-free. (There’s also a recipe for Keto-friendly brownies on the bag.) I definitely recommend making brownies or other baked goods with these melts, which also come in dark, vanilla bean and cinnamon burst.
