Jonie G's Guilt Free Chocolate

Jonie G's chocolate is sweetened with Allulose.  We have never heard of Allulose, so we were curious, and wanted to try this chocolate.

What is Allulose?  It is a type of sugar like fructose, that can only be found in a few foods like figs and raisins.  It is about 70% of the sweetness of sugar, but is only 1/10th the calories of sugar.  Medical studies are fairly new but they look promising as a healthier alternative to sugar.

Jonie G's at the time of this blog post, does not have a website up and running yet, but there are a few stores online that sell the chocolate.   To be honest, it caught our eye only because of the name similarities to our Chocolate Gazetter.

Jonie G's Guilt Free Sweet Dark 55% Limited Edition

Ingredients:
55% cocoa solids
Non -GMO Allulose
Vanilla
Salt
Natural flavour
Sunflower Lecithin
Allulose is 45.2g per 100g - Net carbs is 0.7g

The aroma is dark chocolate.  The taste of chocolate is there, not strong.  What is you first take notice of is the fat type texture and then you  notice of the flavours.
​

Final thoughts:
We thought there was a difference in the flavour of the sweetness with the Allulose compared to sugar.  It did provide enough sweetness however.  We weren't such a fan of the chocolate.  It was very mild in flavour and had quite a fatty texture.
We are wondering if Jonie G's is actually still running.  The bars we got were made about a year ago and the website is available.  The instagram account is private, so we are not sure.  Maybe it is on a hiatus while Covid is still a concern.  At any rate an interesting first delve in Allulose.
