Default sugar free block of chocolate ingr. question

I bought a block of sugar free chocolate,the problem is no nutrition panel and I don't know the carb count. Can anyone help? Here's the ingredients.Malitol,cocca butter, chocolate liquor,sodium caseinate,
milkfat,soya lecitin,leithin (an emulsified) vanallin,natural flavor and salt.
They had two kinds,this and a darker chocolate.Can I use this to make truffles?

Most of the sugar free chocolate I've bought has carbs listed on the ingredients. I think they are from the maltitol, but supposedly they don't affect our blood sugar so some count them and some don't. If you haven't had maltitol before don't eat a lot of it the first time. I had some a few weeks ago and was up all night with a stomach ache. -And stay close to a restroom it has a laxative effect.

Thanks,then I think i'll try to make the truffles out of it,and only eat it in moderation,and stay close to the bathroom!I found this really cool place, some time of a mennonite farmers market,but everything is in bulk,and no nutritional panel.Oh well!
