If it doesn't have a nutritional label is it 'free'?
I've been eating little pieces of this lately, a very pure chocolate, no additional cocoa butter, just a little cane sugar, so it's more like a pressed cocoa powder which would be about 100 calories/25g rather than a chocolate bar, 150-180 calories/25g. Regardless, I haven't been logging it.
