Cheap and nasty chocolateThe new recipe is dreadful.
Less cocoa, less nuts, more sugar and a smaller bar.
Don’t waste your money on this substandard “dark chocolate” I’d have given zero stars if I could have

Terrible new recipe and smaller barAbsolutely awful change to this new recipe. It’s far too sweet for a “dark chocolate” (cocoa amount reduced significantly from the previous one) the taste of the nuts is terrible and the nutrition info at the front is misleading as you’d think it was for a strip like before but it’s now randomly for 20g? And like a lot of their other products recently, they’ve made the bar smaller and kept the price the same. I was a big fan of the previous recipe, this one is going straight in the bin.

Poor substitute for the previous versionsWhen the previous whole nut dark chocolate went off sale I guessed Sainsbury’s were replacing it with an inferior product and boy was I right! Cheap nasty “dark” chocolate (48% cocoa) from Belgium, not fit to be called Belgian chocolate IMO, unpleasant hazelnuts (far fewer per bar than before) which taste burnt, smaller and grittier then the previous 55% German version. Neither are as good as the original which had hazelnuts and almonds. There are better own-brands out there, I’m off to the discounters!

New recipe sweeter, and weaker cocoa flavour.New product Sainsbury's Wholenut Dark Chocolate 180g replacing old product Sainsbury's Wholenut Dark Chocolate 200g. Hazelnuts reduced from 24% to 20%, Cocoa Solids reduced from 55% to 48%. So sugar increased from ~20% to ~30%, a 50% increase? The new recipe tastes sweeter and the cocoa flavour is weaker. Can you go back to the tastier and healthier previous recipe?

Although the legal minimum for dark chocolate is 35% cocoa solids, most UK dark chocolate has at least 50%. The new recipe at 48% is below 50%.

The labelling change is misleading because the old label was based on a serving of a strip of 4 pieces, 25g, while the new label is based on a 20g serving (which is also not possible to do as each piece is 5.25g). The smaller serving makes it look as though the sugar is the same (9% of RDA) although 100g of each would show the increase in sugar. Please show full nutrition and ingredients per 100g, to enable proper comparisons.
