Chocolate suggestions?

I love me some chocolate! My old go to was dark chocolate Hershey kisses but I'm guessing that's not very primal! Haha. The other day I bought some 90% cocao dark chocolate and it was SO yuck. I'm guessing I got too high of a cocao count? Idk...it was funny seeing the faces on my girls when I gave them some! Hahahaha. I did buy some 'Enjoy Life' chocolate chips that are really good though. Anyway, any other suggestions would be great!

I use Trader joe 72% dark bars to get my chocolate fix - 3 squares are perfect...also their dark chocolate raisins I will throw about 6-8 fo those in with my nuts on occassion for a quick sweet treat on occassion
I wouldnt' get to hung up on the primal or not if it is a once in a while treat.0 -
I like the Lindt Ecquador chocolate at 75%. It is super yummy and even my kids like it. :-)0

When I'm wanting some chocolate, or something sweet, I have some dark chocolate flavor/Cocoa Roast Almonds and totally think I'm having a candy bar!!
them! (probably a bit too much!) 0 -
Thanks!!
Yea, I guess I shouldn't worry if it's primal or not since chocolate really isn't at all, right? Haha.0 -

That's PERFECT! Well, as long as it tastes good;)0 -
Dark chocolate in high percentages is primal, but you sort of have to work your way up! I wasn't able to start at 90%, that's for sure! I started with 65% and have worked myself up to 85% and can actually enjoy it now.
