Every girl I know loves (and eats) chocolate, but often hates to admit it because either a) if they mention it they want it more, or b) they feel guilty about it.

Well Naturally have tried to solve this problem by bringing out a better-for-you chocolate range, that is with no added sugar and sweetened with Stevia. Well Naturally sent me some to try, so I cracked them open with a group of friends to see if they could make the cut for girls-night-in.
Dark Chocolate
All the dark chocolate was quite bitter and you wouldn’t want more than a couple of pieces as it is 70% cocoa. Despite that we thought it was less cocoa flavoured than than Lindt version – perhaps that is because there is stevia for sweetness?
Dark Chocolate Acai
We preferred the dark choc with the acai berries, it just broke that bitter cocoa up a bit more.
Fruit and Nut
This one was my FAVOURITE. I could eat a whole block. I almost wished I hadn’t shared, selfish sometimes aren’t I? But I did enjoy seeing others like it too.
Creamy Milk Chocolate
We all agreed this one was too creamy and tasted almost like toffee. Something wasn’t quite balanced in it, but it was still enjoyable in small amounts. If you’re a sweet tooth I would pick this one, however the milk chocolate does have more natural sugar in them.
Mint Crisp Dark Chocolate
Mint was fresh! I would have love this one with a milk chocolate but it was still really nice with the dark chocolate. It would go really well with a cup of tea after dinner!
I thought this infographic from Well Naturally’s website was quite informative and a good summary of recommended sugar intakes and which sugar substitutes are recommended. As their name suggests, they sweeten their chocolate with stevia a natural sweetener, rather than an artificial one.
If you cook with stevia (like I have in these yummy banana bread muffins) then make sure you reduce the quantity if using as a sugar substitute because it is 300 times sweeter than sugar.
Giveaway time!! – sorry this competition has closed, congratulations to Stephanie and Isabel!

Hmmmm mint
Mint seems to be popular!
Mint, because coming into summer I just love refreshing things. 🙂 i would also say all of them as I haven’t eaten chocolate in 5 weeks and would love to try this healthy version 🙂
Wow that is dedication. I tried that and failed miserably!! x
Definitely the acai dark chocolate- two of my favourite things, how can they not be perfect together?!
its true!! what other flavour combos do you like Tiffany? x
Fruit & Nut! Because I go nuts over chocolate 😀
You’re a nutter like me 😉
Mint Crisp. Yes please! Yummo
mmMMM! it is yummo 🙂
I always love mint chocolate with a cuppa. It would be great to try a healthier version.
Yes the cup of tea seemed to even out the flavours, I would really recommend it!
Creamy Milk for sureeee aaaaah! That melt in your mouth feeling without the guilt is wondrous!
Hey there @eatprayworkout ~!
Can I just firstly say, this is a RAD giveaway! Like you’re totally amazing for doing this!
They all sound deliciously amazing. I would definitely go for the dark chocolate acai berry one,
because I love them both more than anything! So good.
I don’t think we should deprive ourselves of chocolate… but in moderation & in healthier alternative ways such as this! You have created the perfect chocolates by the sound of this! I cannot wait to try some.
This would be so so lovely to win!~ xx
Dark Chocolate and Acai 🙂 Winning flavour combination right there!
Sure is! Can you believe I am yet to try an acai bowl? I think I will have to blog the experience…everyone raves about them! Have you tried one?
I think mint would be amazing but then again, they all look scrumptious!
They do, don’t they Minhung!?
To be honest I’d love all of them, but that’s ok because this is a special occasion for special chocolate. Like most, I’d LOVE to try the mint! I just think you cannot go wrong with it as it always light, refreshing and oh so good!! 🙂 ESPECIALLY if it’s healthy, makes it twice as good!;)
(notquittingnow on instagram) sorry forgot to mention
Yes it was quite refreshing if you also like strength of the dark chocolate!
Ahh they all seem great! Probably creamy milk chocolate would be the fave – i definitely have a sweet tooth so chocolate like toffee sounds wonderful!! 😀
Yes, then I think you would like this one! hehe
I’m an old fashioned, traditional type of gal so I would say the creamy milk chocolate.
You can never go wrong with milk chocolate – especially with guests!! x

I agree with you Isabel! Deprivation is not the key haha, that would send me crazy!
Do you have Aldi up there ? Their Mosher Roth brand is awesome, it is 70% but not as bitter as Lindt and comes prewrapped in serving size pieces..
We do! Will have to check it out!
