Curated, not stocked.
Most dark chocolate carries a longer ingredient list than it needs to. Hu removes the refined sugar, the emulsifiers, and the additives, and the result is a bar that is straightforwardly honest about what it contains. We stock it because it gives patients who are working on their nutrition a chocolate option they do not have to second-guess. Organic cacao, coconut sugar, mint — that is the product.
About this product
Dark - Crunchy Mint
Hu Chocolate's Dark Crunchy Mint bar is a dark chocolate bar made with organic cacao, coconut sugar, and mint. The ingredient list is short by design — Hu's approach is to strip out the additives, emulsifiers, and refined sugars that fill most commercial chocolate, and work with ingredients that are recognisable from the outset.
Coconut sugar is used in place of refined white sugar. It has a lower glycaemic index than cane sugar, though it is still a sugar and should be treated as one. The mint provides a clean, direct flavour note rather than the synthetic cooling found in many confectionery products. The crunchy texture comes from the cacao itself — Hu avoids lecithin, which is typically used to smooth chocolate but adds nothing nutritionally.
This bar suits anyone who wants a small piece of dark chocolate without the usual trade-off of a long ingredient list. It fits naturally as an after-lunch treat, a mid-afternoon reset, or a post-dinner square when something sweet is wanted but the day's nutrition goals are largely met. It is also a practical choice for people who are already reading labels closely and find most supermarket dark chocolate does not meet their standards. Hu is a brand our doctors reach for themselves when they want chocolate that does not require a compromise.

Common questions
Frequently asked
What makes this different from standard dark chocolate?
Most dark chocolate contains refined sugar, soy lecithin, and added flavourings. This bar uses organic cacao, coconut sugar, and mint — nothing else. Hu's approach is to keep the ingredient list to what is strictly necessary.
Is coconut sugar better for me than regular sugar?
Coconut sugar has a lower glycaemic index than refined cane sugar, but it is still a sugar and contributes calories in the same way. It is a considered swap, not a free pass — treat it as you would any sugar in your diet.
Is this suitable for people avoiding dairy?
Hu Chocolate bars are typically made without dairy, but check the packaging for the specific allergen information on this SKU, as manufacturing processes can vary.
Can I eat this as part of a low-sugar diet?
It contains coconut sugar, so it is not sugar-free. Whether it fits your diet depends on your overall daily intake. A small portion of dark chocolate can sit within a balanced, lower-sugar approach for many people.
Where should I store it?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If your kitchen runs warm, a brief chill in the fridge is fine, though it may affect the snap of the chocolate.
