Best weight loss snack – Low carbs snack in my weight loss journey, absolutely love it Show details

These give you extreme stomach cramps – The tiniest amount of these will give you stomach cramps and diaherrea. I made two single serve chocolate chip cookies - no more than a quarter handful of choc chips, and I got immediate cramps and had to rush to the loo. Second time I used much less and I still had cramps. Are these even edible for humans? Disappointed as I am on keto and want to make sugar free things, I will have to look elsewhere other than noshu. Show details

Not suitable for diabetics – It amazes me how many companies make sugar free products and then go and shove sweeteners in that diabetics can’t consume. Surely diabetics would be part of your target customer base. I actually like the taste of noshu white chocolate but of course they go and put Malitol which is no good for diabetics. So until the Malitol is replaced with… Read more

erythritol or allulose it’s off my shopping list. It’s sad because I really want a diabetic friendly white chocolate for cooking and eating

Tastes Horrible – The white chips are close to tasteless but with an unpleasant 'fake' aftertaste. The brown ones are really pretty revolting. Like the worst cheap easter bunny; brown and melty but no other resemblance to chocolate (note their use of 'choc' instead of chocolate). The first two ingredients are nameless vegetable oil and maltitol, and you have to get… Read more

pretty close to the bottom of the list to find the infinitesimal amount of cocoa. I bought them at Coles and, even on special, they were a waste of money.

Same Bad Effects as Regular Choc Chips For Me – I 100% agree with the other review on this product. Unfortunately when I eat sugary treats my immune system goes into overdrive and basically I feel like I’m coming down with the flu. Now I would expect that from other choc chips but didn’t expect it from a Noshu product. I have eaten and enjoyed the Noshu brownies, chocolate cake and funfetti… Read more

cake without these side effects. Unfortunately with the chocolate chips this was not the case and I may as well have eaten any other brand of choc chips. Extremely disappointed is an understatement.

Horribly sweet – What can I say, far too sweet. The culprit is the use of maltitol which is a shame because this company does use better sweeteners like stevia and xylitol but for whatever reason they use maltitol in their cooking chips. I'm also not a fan of the bag saying 'natural sweeteners' used when maltitol is artificially processed from starches, there… Read more

isn't anything natural about that.

Anyway all this means is this product still raises blood sugar levels like regular chocolate because normal sugar has a GI of 60, maltitol 52 and so it's still not healthy for you, it'll still make you gain weight. Over consumption of maltitol also has bad side effects (stomach pain, extreme diarrhea, painful gas) and yes if you plan on baking some choc chip cookies with this, depending on the size of the cookie, just one may trigger a side effect so please use sparingly.

Overall I didn't like how it baked, reminded me of cheap choc chips and they were far too sweet to be enjoyable.
