For many chocolate lovers, the trouble with diabetic chocolate is that, well, its sugar free chocolate. And with so much awful tasting sugar free products out there, who could blame them? That's why when people taste Amber Lyn diabetic friendly chocolate they can't believe their taste buds. Our chocolate for diabetics tastes as good or better than premium sugar sweetened chocolates- even the really expensive ones. Here's a typical response from an Amber Lyn customer:
"I had never heard of your chocolates and as a diabetic I thought I would give it a try. You are by far the best sugar free chocolates on the market. They are incredible. My wife and family who are not diabetic prefer your chocolates to even the sugar full regular chocolates. Thank you for giving diabetics like me a chance to feel normal again and eat something that non-diabetics take for granted every day. They taste amazing."

What's the difference? Ingredients, pure and simple. Many diabetic chocolates use chocolate that contains reduced amounts of real cocoa (cacao) and substitute oils that give it a waxy consistency. Some use artificial sweeteners such as sucralose.
Amber Lyn uses only the finest quality premium Belgian chocolate. It contains no substitute oils, no preservatives and is free of chemicals and waxes.
The sweetener that is used is maltitol, a polyol derived from wheat (but still gluten free). It's part of a family of non-nutritive sweeteners called sugar alcohols that includes mannitol, xylitol, erythritol, sorbitol, isomalt and ribitol, among others. They're called sugar alcohols because their molecules look similar to alcohol molecules, but they contain no alcohol.
Tasting is believing. If you love chocolate but want to eat one that can be part of a healthy lifestyle, you deserve Amber Lyn. Our diabetes chocolate is the best diabetic friendly chocolate on the market today.
