One of my favorite treats is sugar free chocolate – flavored chocolate is a bonus. This week I spotted Dove Sugar Free Dark Chocolate with Mint Crème and I was eager to give this flavored chocolate a try. This was a bonus week.
Dove Sugar Free Dark Chocolate with Mint Crème received the official taste test and it was a great experience from start to finish. I was immediately struck by the strong smell of chocolate and mint and the candy literally melted in my mouth. The refreshing mint taste lingered behind and I went on to have another serving. Great job Dove!
The nutritional information was clearly marked on the back of the package. A serving size of five (5) pieces of chocolate had 190 calories of which 140 are fat calories (a little high, but it is a good treat!). There are a total of 22g carbohydrates and 17g of sugar alcohols.
Dove provided a lot of the important consumer information. A website address, a 1-800 number and an e-mail address were all clearly marked on the back of the packaging. Dove also included an expiration date, but the way it was printed made it difficult to read. I was disappointed that the expiration date was unclear, but really pleased that other important pieces of information were accessible and easy to read.
Overall I give Dove Sugar Free Dark Chocolate with Mint Crème a 200 DFC. I loved the taste of the candy and Dove clearly marked most of the important consumer information. Dove could improve their labeling by including the hours of operation for the 1-800 number and marking their expiration date more clearly. All in all, this is a great candy and a real winner for the DFC.
