What is the healthiest chocolate bar as in calories

this includes cabruary creme egg and mini eggs aswel.

just so i wont feel guilty when i eat chocolate if i have the lowest carolie content bar:hyper:

any know??

Former Member

Dark chocolate is actually good for you! though i'm not sure if it's lower in calories than normal. Also you never want as much of it, a little goes a long way. Good for chocoholics!

Former Member

calorie count isnt a measure of health. Theyre all pretty shit for you apart from dark chcolate, which is good for you in moderation, but i think it tastes vile.

As for low cal chocolate bars, obviously go for smaller ones. Milky way, a finger of fudge, a freddo bar, a curly wurly, a single finger twirl. Theyve all got around 100-120 cals max.
A cadburys creme egg has 175 cals so thats not particularly high.
double decker - 240
fruit and nut 240
whole nut - 270
bounty 260

minimi38, are you suggesting that the more pure coccoa the choclate it is the better it is for you? That would have been my thought.

Flytes I think are supposed to be good for you.

Maltesers are so light, you have to do something naughty.

Not sure if light = healthy.

11 calories each.

if you want healthy chocolate then clearly fruit & nut is the way to go, at least raisens and nuts have nutritional value.

Fruit & nut bars aren't low calorie though. If you want something low calorie go for a milky way or an aero fun size bar. I eat one of these with an options hot choc for a quick sugar craving fix for under 150 calories.

Im a sucker for a fruit& nut bar though and i can easily chomp away a
200g bar in one sitting.

Packet of Malteasers 190cals
Mars Planets (yummy yummy) 180cals
Creme Egg 170ish cals
Galaxy 220ish cals
Dime bar 150
Kit kat (2finger) 109cals
Kik kat dark (4 finger) 220ish
Fudge is about 100cals
Aero bubbles-not quite sure but about 200 ish i would imagine
Dairy Milk (the thin one) is about 100cals.

Tell ya else hits a chocolate craving-Alpen light chocolate and orange cereal bars- 60cals and very yum.
Avoid Twix and Bounty, really high for what it is.

Chocolate isn't supposed to be healthy, it's supposed to be incredibly yummy and bad for you. That's the whole point.

MMmm chocolate.

:yes:

If you're going to have chocolate go the full hog, buy the best quality dark chocolate you can and do something with it, like your own mousse or a tart, rather than the shop bought stuff that's often quite stale and doesn't contain a high enough quantity of cocoa solids. As SCC said, calories aren't always the marker of good health, a person can eat nothing but lard and claim to be 'healthy' because they're eating fewer calories going in than coming out.

Even though I'm a poor student, recently I have been buying nice, a bit more expensive chocolate, if i allow myself any. Eg Lindtt it is so much nicer than cadburys / galaxy. Makes the chocolate experience all the more enjoyable. mmmmm

I can't eat Cadbury's anymore, I just don't really like it at all.

Lindt is nice . Although I don't really eat chocolate anyway, it's not my favourite of things at all.

Former Member

Lindt is good, but i have SUCH a craving for cadburys these days its unreal.

Former Member

God me too! I gave it up for lent and I've just switched to winegums! that's so bad. I soooooo wanted some cadbury's today though.

Question: is caramac chocolate or not? cos if not then I'm going to eaaaat it!

Former Member

Gold bars are not nestlé theyre mcvities, so therefore a biscuit rather than chocolate yet they taste very similar to caramac, but without the dead baby aftertaste :thumb:

Ah but is the gold stuff round the outside chocolate or not?

Caramac - chocolate or candy? The great debate

Former Member

Bah, I suppose it is chocolate! Also, how annoying were those scrolling chocolate bars? :

I guess I'm back to sneaking hot chocolate powder out of the tin to feed my chocolate craving, as I'm SURE that it doesn't count as real chocolate!

**helen**

On the subject of 'healthy' chocolate, has anyone tried choxi?

Former Member

Snickers 'Duo' has more than 500Kcal :eek2:

I've just switched to dark chocolate, it's much more satisfying so I only eat a square or two instead of a whole bar.

Former Member

Who dares insults cadburys?? :shocking: :shocking: :shocking:
Cadburys is my favourite.

Crunchies.

Yummy.

Cadburys cadburys cadburys.

I always thought it was chocolate.

The only chocolate I like is from Hotel Chocolat.

Former Member

caramac stuff isn't chocolate!

My girlfriend is a self-defined European (she spent a long time living in Luxembourg) and as a consequence she won't touch any chocolate made over here except Fruit and Nut.

If you want dark chocolate, try Green & Black's Maya Gold.
