Holy Moly Judi !!
Wow. Math has never been my strongest skill so I'll take your word for it!
99% cocoa, you say. Hmmm...would be good for baking but I just like to melt it slowly in my mouth and I need a tad bit'o sweet to enjoy it. I also like to make hot chocolate with it and a little goes a long way!!
The bars are Lindt Excellence and are 100g each (10 squares I think) I got mine at the LD's here in Ladner. They were on sale for $2.48 a bar so I bought 8!!

Homegirl...I got the carb count from Fran McCullogh's book, "Living Low-Carb" pg.301. Carbs per 40g = 11g (70% cocoa). She says "one generous square runs a little over 2 g". It is actually the lowest carb bar of all the brands that she lists. Not a bad deal. I do prefer the 70% for eating (sugarsugarsugar) but I don't mind the 85% (keeps me from eating too much!)I have found that I have to eat it a little earlier in the day or I'm up all night!!! Great for puttin' the zip in your do-da!!!

SS!!
