As for me, I am off to look for sugar-free chocolate treats this afternoon. This is Thanksgiving week-end in Canada, and tomorrow should be warmish and sunny...
Copilot:
Maxi; I am trying to find a chocolate bar with artificial sweetener, and no sugar but the interface doesn't show me those. What brands might be a good place to start looking? European?
The problem is probably that Maxi's search is matching the words "artificial sweetener" rather than filtering by ingredients, so it is mostly showing ordinary chocolate bars. On the page you're viewing, I can only see regular chocolate products such as Lindt Excellence, No Name, KitKat, and Cadbury Dairy Milk, not sugar-free chocolate.
If you're looking for no-added-sugar chocolate sweetened with polyols or other sugar substitutes, these are good brands to search for specifically:
European brands
Lindt No Sugar Added (Swiss)
Often sweetened with maltitol.
Available as milk and dark chocolate.
One of the easiest premium sugar-free chocolates to find in Canada.
Cavalier (Belgian)
Well known in Europe for sugar-free chocolate.
Sweetened with stevia and fibre blends rather than sugar.
Often sold in health-food stores.
Diablo (UK)
Marketed as "no added sugar."
Common in European diabetic-friendly sections.
Torras (Spain)
Very popular sugar-free chocolate line.
Available in dark chocolate, milk chocolate, hazelnut, orange, and other flavours.
Often uses maltitol.
North American brands
Russell Stover Sugar Free
Widely available.
Uses sugar alcohols.
Lots of flavours beyond plain chocolate.
ChocXO
Available in many Canadian stores.
Usually sweetened with monk fruit rather than sugar.
The brand sometimes appears at Loblaws/Maxi stores.
Lily's
Sweetened with stevia and erythritol.
Popular with diabetics and low-carb eaters.
Search terms that work better on grocery sites
Instead of searching:
"artificial sweetener chocolate"
try:
sugar free chocolate
no sugar added chocolate
keto chocolate
Lindt no sugar added
Russell Stover sugar free
Torras chocolate
For a Maxi/Loblaws store in Québec, I'd start with Lindt No Sugar Added, ChocXO, and Russell Stover Sugar Free. Those are the ones I'd consider the most likely to show up in their inventory or pharmacy/health-food section.
