if you wash it it's clean. i personally like to wash my dark chocolate in peanut butter0

I'm saying yes. Lotsa nutritional goodies to be had there.
Nutritional goodies don't make something clean.
"natural" nutritional goodies just to warm things over?
Well, obviously chocolate is not in the form those ingredients would be found in nature, so by the strictest definition it's not clean. But if all the ingredients that make the whole were in their natural form, then it might be clean if we're grading on a curve.

I find it to be very cleansing.
From where the bubble placement is...I'm going to say...Not anymore.0 -

Depends on the percentage
how about 69-90%
Sorry dude...it's only clean if you make it from scratch. If it came out of a wrapper, it's unclean as it was processed by someone other than yourself...those are the breaks dude.0 -
Trader Joe's has a 72% cacao and a "Dark Chocolate Lover's Chocolate bar" that's really good, but you have to like the taste of dark chocolate.
A couple squares of that and a couple tablespoons of peanut butter...great desserts, packed with goodies. Can't do too much of it though-pretty calorie-dense.0 -
Who cares? It's tasty.
My thoughts exactly :laugh:0 -
how about this, I eat one of this sometimes when I'm on the road and feel like slummin'

Yep.. nothing else gets eaten in this house.
and generally not much under 70%
lucky our local supermarket has an awesome range of 75%+ dark in a range of flavours.0 -

It's not chocolate, that's for sure..... tasted foul each time i've tried it. But it's not readily available over here thankfully.0 -
If you looking for a truly "clean" dark chocolate, look for something organic. NOT hershies or dairy milk or whatever store brand stuff is out there. I would go to a health food store where they have the real organic stuff sold by the pound! MMMMM!!!!!!!!!0

it's clean until you drop it on the ground.....unless its one of those weird bird poop chocolates from the rain forest.....that's probably dirty
i'm callin' 5 second rule (if it's on the ground less than 5 seconds it's still cleannnnnnnnnn) :laugh:0 -

right and right0 -
If you want chocolate as a treat, don't worry so much about how clean it is. It's a treat, and anything out of a wrapper is generally processed, therefore may not be "clean" by your definition. The higher the percentage is better, but not very tasty and isn't really something I'd call a treat.
Though if you want it more often for it's health benefits, I suggest getting raw cacao powder or nibs and add them to a smoothie, preferably with a banana (since it's just a nice flavor combo, and the banana adds natural sweetness in my opinion). It's probably as clean as it's going to get that way.0 -

In my book chocolate is clean but if it is in a product containing sugar of any kind or artificial sugar it is not a clean product.0

Green & Black's 85%* or GTFO!
(* or something else if it's on sale...I'm really not that passionate about my choice of dark chocolate.)0 -
Technically bc it has chemicals and additives, no it is not. But I eat a piece now and then to curb the cravings, it isn't bad for you, its the amount you intake that can be. Just with anything else. Eat clean, and sneak a treat in once in a while. I had Wendys a few weeks ago bc I was craving greasy crappy salty fried chicken sandwich and fries LOL. Those rare rare rare cheat days help me feel better. lol.0

I eat 85% and love it. My fave is Green and Black's. I'm eating low carb and have about 20g of dark chocolate a day.0

Love dark chocolate. Tired of the word clean because of its broad definition. I consider it healthy. If I can fit it in my calories it's the last thing I eat for the day! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!0
