HOW MUCH SUGAR IS THERE IN CHOCOLATE?”!!

There is as much as 55g of sugar in some major brands of chocolate. This equates to 11 teaspoons of sugar!! Shocking we know. The daily allowance of sugar is just 6 – 9 teaspoons, so one bar of chocolate can be nearly double your daily allowance. And we have all seen the scary headlines about the health concerns related to sugar, but we all want a treat, and who doesn’t love chocolate?!

Heavenly Chocolate is the world’s first Dairy free, Soy Free, Gluten Free, Palm Oil Free, GMO free dark chocolate and milk chocolate alternative bars, that have less than 1 teaspoon of sugar in it.

Are all calories the same? We say no! Our calories come from fat from our cocoa butter. We believe calories from sugar are far more of an issue. Fat makes you satiated quickly, feeds your brain and thus you do not ‘crave’ more, whereas sugar makes you want to eat more and more, which is why there is such a big push to reduce sugar intake. 

Stephen Conway, our founder, decided to create a low sugar treat for his two young daughters Sophie and Lucy in 2017.

The challenge he found was that chocolate was either full of dairy products, sugar or both, and so-called healthy versions just didn’t taste that great.

Normal brands of chocolate just caused his kids to become hyperactive and then crash later being irritable and restless or even having problems sleeping. They also caused more visits to the dentist because of the high sugar content.

His wife who suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis also cannot eat normal chocolate either without having stiff joints and mood swings the next day.

And as he watched friends struggling with weight issues and their own health issues, these were all catalysts to creating his own range.

Like many kids, Sophie and Lucy are very fussy when it comes to chocolate, so when they started to give my recipes 100 out of 10,  Stephen knew he was onto something good.

And as more and more people tried my samples – and then started asking where they could buy it – he knew this could turn into a business.

We have launched with twelve different flavours – all so beautifully creamy, you’ll be amazed they don’t contain dairy products or large amounts of sugar.

Please note that we are a small family business and that all our bars are handmade in small batches. This means that shipping times are currently around 4-7 days.
