YC Chocolatier makes the finest all natural sugar free confections available today. The YC Milk Bar is a unique and upscale product much like a fine wine, developed specifically with the Natural community in mind. With 43% cocoa, the taste is, without question, the outstanding feature in this remarkable confection created solely for your safe and healthy enjoyment. The developers at YC Chocolatier have created this low carbohydrate sugar free Milk Bar with no artificial colorings, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners. There are no trans fatty acids and the plant is peanut free. YC's confections also match or exceed the finest chocolates in taste and texture. YC's Sugar Free has satisfied natural food retailers' established criteria for what they consider to be Natural and clean. YC's Sugar Free products meet the FDA sugar free requirement not to exceed 0.5% sugar from any source, per serving size and are lactose (milk sugar) free. YC's cocoa beans have been properly grown, harvested, fermented, dried, blended, roasted, winnowed, refined, conched and tempered, to create our unique intense chocolate taste. The sweetener used in our confections is Maltitol - a non sugar sweetener that comes from corn. It is about 90% as sweet as sugar and is non-cariogenic. Maltitol is mostly not digested and therefore, like fiber, the Maltitol carbohydrates listed on the nutritional panel should be deducted from the Total Carbohydrates to arrive at the net digested carbohydrates. This results in 2g of carbohydrates per 42g serving in the Milk Bar. This product is therefore particularly useful for those looking for a low carbohydrate confection. YC's confections do not raise blood serum glucose and are therefore also suitable for diabetics. Because we use a minimal amount of Maltitol, the usual laxative effect is all but eliminated.
