I'm temporarily out of my no-sugar chocolate bars, so I looked at the normal ones in the fridge, picked the least sugary one (80% cocoa, by the local brand Roshen), and weighed one square of it (and ate it).
It is mind-boggling to know that in those 9g, I ate about as much sugars as in a whole 85g no-sugar bar (you shouldn't eat it whole as it contains a lot of maltitol; you've been warned). It tasted very close too.
I guess it's a tribute to Torras and Trapa, two Spanish brands I usually buy, to make such a good taste with just 2g of sugars or less. Annoyingly a similar Ukrainian chocolate would need to have 'keto' mark not to have hidden sugars, and costs 2x more than this imported (and made in EU!) product.
