cintinative Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I had been buying Moser Roth 85% dark chocolate at Aldi, but they haven't had it for over a month. 😭 Some of the other kinds I have tried at the grocery were not great. Does anyone have an online favorite they can recommend? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Hopper Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Can I add asking for one that tested low for heavy metals? I’ve been wanting to replace my previous bars but not sure what to choose that doesn’t cost $$$$. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the grass the cows eat or something, lol. https://shop.chocolateskaokao.com/ It only goes to 70%. I've had the stevia 80% but I don't recall liking it for some reason. Maybe it was fine? I guess you could try a bar and suffer. If you ever get there in person, they do tasting tours for $5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieJ Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I believe the Moser Roth is a safe one. It’s my chocolate of choice and I remember checking the list. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Aldi has had it intermittently, so I have been hoping it’s a fluke that it’s not there. They have to know that they are one of a handful of brands that have safe chocolate, so I’m fairly disgusted that they seem to be dropping it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect if they are dropping it, it's because they are not selling enough for it to be profitable. Or maybe they are selling so much it just runs out quickly and they can't keep up with demand! Which maybe means they will amp up production. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many things go by the wayside that are profitable but not as much as something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmasc Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Why do you all like this chocolate? The flavor? How it’s sourced? Or? Now I’m wanting to go to Aldi and try it! I always get Lindt, but am always willing to try a new one. 🙂 Enlighten me please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rates well in the report about chocolate that is full of lead and cadmium, unlike many other brands. I think it’s also supposed to be sustainable or fair trade or something like that as well, but I can’t remember for sure. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has Celiac and about twice a year they have gluten free glazed donuts as a special buy. We buy an embarrassing amount of them because we know they will be gone in a day or so, and won't be back for six months. I guess with the limited store space, they can't carry everything, but if it sells out in a day, you'd think they'd reconsider. 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the taste of their dark chocolate (the 85%); although it is bitter, it is smooth. Also, it's less expensive than some others. And, it comes with several smaller wrapped bars in the larger package. And, it is fair trade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmasc Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) @cintinative Ok, so I’m not sure if this is a good update or kind of bad. Good—I was at Aldi today and they had plenty of Moser Roth 85% dark chocolate (so maybe it’s not going away??). Bad—so why doesn’t your Aldi have it?! Side note: I picked up both the 70% and 85% to try. My ds and I both really liked the 70%! We haven’t tried the 85% yet. I also loved the price. 🙂 $1.85.

Resilient Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I like Chocolove. I tend toward the 55% range but I like the higher cocoa content ones better than I like those in other makers. Pascha brand also good. Both are vegan. No gluten, no dairy, no oysters. (I made up that last one…) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
