Let’s be honest — we all know how hard it can be to resist the temptation of chocolate, right? But if you’re a fan of the rich, intense flavour of dark chocolate, then you’ll love our Absolute Black range. It's the chocolate that hits the spot without any of the extra worry (well, maybe just a little!). Want to know exactly how many calories are in this chocolatey goodness? Well, you're in luck — we’ve got the details for you!
How Many Calories Are In Absolute Black Chocolate?
So, here’s the deal. Our Absolute Black 90g bar has 604 kcal per 100g. That means the whole bar comes in at around 544 kcal — not bad, right? Especially when you get all that intense cocoa goodness in every bite!
Let’s break it down further, because we know you love the details:
-
Each square of Absolute Black contains approximately 22.7 kcal.
That’s right — each little square is a simple treat. Go on, enjoy one!
Absolute Black Almond – 100% Cocoa with a Crunch
Who doesn't love a good crunch? Our Absolute Black Almond bar gives you the best of both worlds: rich, smooth dark chocolate with the satisfying crunch of almonds. Talk about a match made in heaven!
The Absolute Black Almond 90g bar packs in 605 kcal per 100g, which makes the entire bar about 545 kcal. And those 24 squares? They’re only around 22.7 kcal each — so you can enjoy without the concern!
Absolute Black Orange & Cocoa Nibs – Zesty, Crunchy Perfection
Out of the entire Absolute Black range, our Absolute Black Orange & Cocoa Nibs bar comes in at the lowest calorie count. With 603 kcal per 100g, the 90g bar clocks in at 543 kcal. Each of those 24 squares? 22.6 kcal.
This bar is extra special because we’ve added a burst of natural orange oil to balance the bold, 100% cocoa flavour, while the crunchy cocoa nibs bring a texture party to your taste buds. It’s like a flavour explosion in every square!
Absolute Black Eco Egg – The Easter Treat You’ll Actually Feel Good About
Easter is all about chocolate, but let’s be honest, it’s easy to go a little overboard. Fear not — our Absolute Black Eco Egg is here to save the day.
The Absolute Black Eco Egg has the same calorie count as the 90g bars, coming in at 604 kcal per 100g. But since this egg is 150g, it adds up to 906 kcal.
Since the Eco Egg is an egg and not a bar, you’ll be cracking it open and enjoying it in pieces, making it a little trickier to count the exact calories per chunk. But you can rest easy knowing that the calorie count is right around 604 kcal per 100g. Just crack it open, break off a little piece, and enjoy.
Plus, it’s packaged in our eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging, because sustainability is just as important as chocolate.
👉 Get your hands on the Absolute Black Eco Egg today! Perfect for a mindful treat this Easter.
Dark Chocolate and a Balanced Diet
Who says chocolate can’t be part of a balanced diet? Not us! Dark chocolate, especially the good stuff like Absolute Black, can be a treat that fits into a well-rounded lifestyle. So go ahead — enjoy, but just keep it balanced!
The Sugar Content: Why Absolute Black is Your Best Bet
Now, let’s talk about sugar. While 100% cocoa Absolute Black might have slightly more calories than a lower-percentage cocoa bar, it’s actually way lower in sugar. Here’s why:
The Absolute Black 100% cocoa bar has only 2.7g of sugar per 100g. Compare that to our Fitzroy 74% bar, which has 25g of sugar per 100g. Even though Fitzroy comes in at 587 kcal per 100g, it has significantly more sugar than Absolute Black.
And if you move further down to bars with lower cocoa content, like our Smooth Operator (37% cocoa), the sugar content jumps to 47g per 100g.
So, if you're looking to cut back on sugar, Absolute Black is the way to go! Dark chocolate might have slightly more calories overall, but those calories are packed with rich cocoa and far less sugar compared to milk or even some dark chocolate varieties.
The calories in dark chocolate are more concentrated and contain more nutrients, so, all in all, dark chocolate like Absolute Black is a great choice for those looking to reduce sugar intake while still enjoying a delicious treat.
How to Enjoy Chocolate Without Overindulging (Because We Know It’s Tempting)
We get it, it’s easy to enjoy a little too much. But hey, balance is the key! Here are some tips to help you enjoy your Absolute Black while keeping it real:
- Treat yourself daily — A small piece of chocolate after lunch or dinner can keep the cravings in check.
- Go for dark chocolate — The higher the cocoa percentage, the less sugar you’re consuming.
- Mind your surroundings — If chocolate is your weakness, try not to keep it within arm’s reach. (I know, easier said than done, right? I work in a chocolate factory!)
- Keep it special — Instead of a full-on chocolate binge, plan a visit to your favourite chocolate shop and buy a single serving to enjoy.
And if you do go a little overboard? No worries! Life’s about balance. So don’t beat yourself up — just get back to enjoying your next piece in moderation.
So, whether you’re enjoying an Absolute Black 90g bar, munching on an Absolute Black Almond bar, snacking on the zesty Absolute Black Orange & Cocoa Nibs, or cracking open an Absolute Black Eco Egg this Easter, remember that you’re not just treating your taste buds — you’re treating yourself to pure, chocolatey joy.
