EASY CHOCOLATE ORANGE BARK (a low-sugar alternative to Lindt Intense Orange)

A few weeks back, feeling like something a little more adventurous than my usual daily dose of plain dark chocolate, I decided to check out Lindt Intense Orange. The 85%-90% Lindt varieties are a staple in my home, so I have nothing against the brand, but was rather shocked to find that Lindt Intense Orange contains 17 g of sugar per 40 g serving, as opposed to 5 g in the 85% plain dark chocolate variety made by the same brand. But there were clearly two things absent from the plain dark chocolate; the crunch factor and the infusion of orange.

To recreate those things in a low-sugar way, I kept things very simple. So simple in fact, that I have time to share this recipe before we head to the airport to embark on our summer vacation.

Have a beautiful weekend, all!

  1. Oh lovely, I must try this. I often eye off those other Lindt flavours too, and wish they had them in the 85% variety! This looks like it will do the trick beautifully. Have a wonderful vacation! xoxo

  3. This caught my eye Marisa as the Lindt 85 and 90 percent dark are a staple in my house and I too think it’s deceptive that some of their flavoured ‘dark’ varieties are actually loaded with sugar. I’ll be experimenting with this method to spice up my dark chocolate!
