What it is

Dark chocolate sugar is a sweetening ingredient that combines sugar with components of dark chocolate, such as cocoa solids and cocoa butter. It is typically made by coating sugar crystals with dark chocolate or by blending sugar with cocoa-derived ingredients.

Why it's used

Its primary function is to provide sweetness and a distinct dark chocolate flavor. It is commonly used in various confections, baked goods, desserts, and snack foods.

Health notes

Sugar (sucrose) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, as are the components of dark chocolate. Excessive intake of added sugars is a public health concern; the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans do not recommend any amount of added sugars and suggest limiting intake to at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugar and established an acceptable daily intake. There are no specific regulatory concerns unique to 'dark chocolate sugar' beyond those associated with its individual components.

Allergen info

Sugar is not a major allergen. Cocoa, the primary component of dark chocolate, is also not considered a major allergen. However, products containing dark chocolate sugar may include other ingredients or be processed in facilities that handle major allergens.
