Ghirardelli makes an 86% cocoa bar. Is that too much sugar for you?

I’m not talking about the cocoa percentage. It’s more the balance between butter

European 86% chocolate has the same amount of sugar as American 86% chocolate.

Many smaller chocolatiers in the U.S. make really good chocolate. Amano is one of them in Utah.
