Nutritional Information On Chocolate Bars
Based on our plain milk chocolate, plain dark chocolate and plain white chocolate the nutritional information is as follows:
Yes. Rhubee’s is made using premium couverture chocolate and is not lab-grown. Our chocolate contains no palm oil and is made in South Africa.
Rhubee’s dark chocolate is sugar-free, while our milk and white chocolate contain no added sugar.
No added sugar means that no sugar is added as a sweetener, but milk and white chocolate naturally contain lactose, a sugar found in milk. Our dark chocolate range is sugar-free and vegan-friendly. Both ranges are sweetened with maltitol.
Always refer to the ingredient and nutritional information on the individual product for full details.
Our sugar-free dark chocolate and no added sugar milk and white chocolate are sweetened with maltitol, a sugar alcohol commonly used as an alternative to added sugar.
Products containing maltitol may have a laxative effect when consumed in excess, so we recommend enjoying them in moderation and referring to the information provided on the individual product packaging.
Our sugar-free dark chocolate range is vegan-friendly. Our milk and white chocolate ranges contain milk and are therefore not suitable for a vegan diet.
Dark chocolate has a richer, more intense cocoa flavour. Rhubee’s dark chocolate is sugar-free and vegan-friendly.
Milk chocolate contains milk solids, which give it a smoother, creamier flavour. Rhubee’s milk chocolate contains no added sugar.
White chocolate is made with cocoa butter and milk solids rather than cocoa solids, giving it its distinctive creamy flavour and pale colour. Rhubee’s white chocolate also contains no added sugar.
Our chocolate ranges are sweetened with maltitol and contain no palm oil.
Couverture is premium-quality chocolate with a higher proportion of cocoa butter than standard eating or baking chocolate. This contributes to its smooth texture, glossy finish and characteristic clean “snap” when properly tempered.
Rhubee’s uses premium couverture chocolate to create the smooth, indulgent chocolate experience our range is known for.
Rhubee’s chocolate contains maltitol and carbohydrates. Individual dietary requirements vary, so we recommend checking the ingredient list and nutritional information for the specific product to decide whether it fits your preferred eating plan.

Yes. The couverture chocolate we use supports the Cocoa Horizons programme, which focuses on more sustainable cocoa farming, supporting cocoa farmers and their communities, and protecting the environment. A portion of the purchase of the couverture we use is reinvested in cocoa-growing communities through the Cocoa Horizons Foundation.
