Fiber and protein are present from the cocoa solids. The fat profile leans heavily toward saturated fat from cocoa butter, which behaves differently in the body than saturated fat from dairy or meat. The flavor is sweet with moderate bitterness - a step toward dark but still crowd-pleasing and accessible.
