The Good Chocolate
If Ghirardelli is too mainstream for you, there are a plethora of independent California chocolate makers to discover, like The Good Chocolate. Its specialty is organic, sugar-free, and (mostly) vegan chocolate, which lives true to its name.
The brand is unmistakably Californian: it was founded in 2014 by two friends who, in order to eliminate sugar from their diets, experimented with roasting cacao and blending natural sweeteners such as Erythritol and Stevia.
The Good Chocolate is introduced as the world's first bean-to-bar chocolate that is 100 percent organic and sugar-free. San Francisco's culture of good food, creative ideas, and willingness to disrupt the existing quo inspired the chocolates.
The Good Chocolate's signature product is its zero-sugar chocolate bars. Only one of the bars on this list isn't vegan, it is the 54 percent dark milk. The Good Chocolate's distinctive dark chocolate is combined with 65 percent cacao and wonderful spices including ginger, salted almonds, mint, and Himalayan salt.
The chocolates is an incredible pick-me-up that will never let you down since it is sweetened with a unique blend of organic sweeteners found in fruits and plants. Finally, those who are attempting to live a healthier lifestyle can enjoy the freedom to indulge.
