Keto certified chocolate!

It’s a new year and a new year often means that a lot of people are trying to get healthy! Last time I was at Costco I picked up this new “healthy product” the Costco CHOCXO Keto Snaps.
Taste
These Keto snaps are basically just dark chocolate squares. They’re dark chocolate squares with sea salt, coconut and almonds. They taste like a way worse version of the Costco Kirkland Signature Belgian Chocolate Thins I reviewed. There’s a low sugar content so don’t expect these to be sweet at all. The chocolate doesn’t taste exactly high quality and isn’t very smooth and tasted slightly chalky. Despite having sea salt, coconut and almonds the Keto Snaps are pretty flavorless and you don’t really taste any of the sea salt, coconut or almonds. Don’t get me wrong, the Keto Snaps don’t taste bad at all and probably taste like heaven to someone on Keto but I just didn’t find them really flavorful.
Cost
I paid $14.99 Canadian for the 420 g bag of Keto Snaps. There’s about 30 Keto Snaps in the bag. You’re definitely paying for the word “keto” and the convenient individual wrapping.
Convenience
I do have to say these individual chocolate keto snaps are very convenient because they’re individually wrapped and can be easily thrown in a gym bag, purse or kept in your glove box for any time you need a snack or sweet fix. The best before date was over six months from the date I purchased the Costco CHOCXO Keto Snaps.
Nutrition
These are “keto certified” and organic and have 85% dark chocolate in them. Two snaps is 180 calories, 15 grams of fat, six grams of carbohydrates, five mg of sodium, three grams of fibre, three grams of protein and four grams of sugar. Each individually wrapped keto snap is four small squares of chocolate and the nutrition information is for two individually wrapped snaps. So the nutrition information is for eight small squares of chocolate. I’m not sure how these are keto because they contain cane sugar?
I’ll definitely finish my bag of Costco CHOCXO Keto Snaps because I don’t like to waste money, if you’re on keto these are probably going to taste amazing. If you’re eating a normal diet and looking for a “healthy treat” you may as well just buy some good quality dark chocolate and enjoy a piece or two.

What’s your 2020 New Year’s goal or resolution?
Costco isn’t carrying these in my area anymore. Sad because they are a great snack.
I love these, and along with Lindt 90% bars they are a must-have in my house as I can enjoy them every day with coffee and not feel deprived. The commenter below is so right about how your palate adapts to low sugar (as mine has done on a keto diet). A former chocoholic, I now cannot tolerate the sweetness of any of the “regular” chocolate I used to eat.
I agree with you wholeheartedly .To me these taste wonderful , are plenty sweet and very satisfying .
Sorry but I am on Keto and these do not taste good at all. Yes they are healthy, easy to travel etc but the have no taste at all to me. I have found way better tasting keto chocolate. Sorry but I bought a bag at Costco and they ended up giving them away even at $14.99 a bag. I couldn’t eat them.
Why would anyone who is not on a Keto diet buy Keto candy? Doesn’t make any sense.
I buy these chocolates and other keto friendly items as I have type 2 diabetes. I sure couldn’t do a keto diet but Keto foods generally are low carbs and sugar, both of which I need to avoid. I do like these chocolate snaps. A little sweet treat 🙂
How much caffeine do these have? Gisela
Unfortunately the bag doesn’t say, I would contact CHOCXO and ask them to provide you that info 🙂
I love these and did not find in the Montgomery Alabama COSTCO today. Hoping they are just out and new shipment late but if not, does anyone know where to find them?
I know they’re still at my Costco but I’m all the way in Canada! You could ask your Costco if they expect another shipment
I absolutely love these! they are the perfect snack to keep in my work bag or purse. They’re SO GOOD. I limit myself to two per day. They’re are worth the calorie and carb count for me. Highly recommend these, especially since they’re made with pretty healthy ingredients.
In my Opinion, if you don’t like these, you are consuming too much sugar in your diet to enjoy them. Believe me, if you are watching your sugar, and you don’t consume processed high sugar items, these are delicious. As we all know our palate adapts to our diet. I HAVE to watch my sugar these days.. what we used to love eat, gets too sweet pretty fast, funny how that work. I really like these so does my daughter.. she eats them for taste, she enjoys them and keeps her away from high-sugar chocolate!
Well said. Agree 100%..
