I saw the adverts to the Keto Craft Chocolate on social media but I was put off by the price and held off trying it. I was then diagnosed with diabetes so thought I would give it a go.
I bought the starter pack with the Milk, Orange, Salted Caramel and Dark bars. The dark chocolate was not really to my taste but after getting used to the flavour of the others I began to like them. I prefer the Chocolate Orange bars but the Mint bars are on par with them. Once I have finished the bars I have, I will order some more.
I would definitely recommend giving it a go.
It sounds like we nearly got there, Pete... but four stars tells me there's still something we could do better. 😊
Firstly, I'm really pleased you gave us a chance after your diabetes diagnosis and that, once your taste buds adjusted to chocolate with much less sugar, the Orange and Mint became firm favourites.
But I'd genuinely love to know what would have turned your experience from four stars into five. Was it the Dark Chocolate, the price, or something else we could improve?
We're a small family business and I want customers to feel like we're looking after them as we would our own family, so feedback like yours really does help us get better.
The fact you're planning another order means a lot, Pete... thank you for giving us a try and recommending us to others.

The chocolate was lovely and worth every penny.
Knowing you think it's worth every penny is a massive compliment, Rich... thank you. 😊
We know we're never going to compete with mass produced chocolate on price, but that's not what we're trying to do. We make every bar with proper cocoa butter and quality ingredients, without palm oil or loads of added sugar.
So hearing simply that the chocolate was lovely and worth it... that'll do very nicely!
Thanks for supporting our little business.
Dan
Now this is chocolate! Strong, deep flavours that play across the tounge and hit in a way that the mass factory produced stuff can never hope to. Ive found my new guilty pleasure!
Pricey, but clearly very high quality chocolate.
That's a very fair summary, Elias... we certainly aren't trying to be the cheapest chocolate on the shelf.
Using proper cocoa butter, quality ingredients, no palm oil and making our chocolate in small batches costs more, so I'm really pleased you can taste where that extra money goes.
Thank you for giving us a try and recognising the quality of what we're making... I really appreciate it.
Dan
I ordered this against the advice of my wife and a few others who said it would be poor quality and full of stuff that you can't spell or have never heard of.
I am glad I ordered it - great taste and low sugar. A great way to have that little treat without setting goals back or having to feel bad about it it. I would definitely recommend it
I think we're going to have to chalk this one up as a rare occasion when ignoring your wife's advice worked out, David! 😂
I'm especially pleased you mentioned the ingredients, because we're pretty much the opposite of what everyone warned you about... proper cocoa butter, quality ingredients, no palm oil and no added sugar.
Being able to have that little chocolate treat without feeling like you've undone all your hard work is exactly what I wanted DGF to be about.
Thank you for taking the gamble on us, David... and for recommending us afterwards!
Dan
My go to after meals or anytime I want a sweet treat the dark choc mint is mu favourite! The mint is balanced with the quality dark bar and as a diabetic its wonderful yo be able to have a couple of pieces after a meal.
A couple of pieces of Dark Mint after a meal sounds like a pretty good routine to me, Marion! 😊
Getting the balance between the dark cocoa and mint just right was really important... we wanted the mint to complement the chocolate rather than completely take over.
But the bit that matters most is knowing that, as someone with diabetes, you've found a proper chocolate treat you can look forward to after dinner.
Thank you for the lovely review and for making our Dark Mint your favourite... I really appreciate it.
Dan
Love the smooth texture when eating it
That lovely smooth melt is something we've worked incredibly hard on, so it's great to hear you noticed it, Ian.
It's one of the reasons we use proper cocoa butter... let it come to room temperature and it melts slowly in the mouth, releasing all that lovely cocoa flavour as it goes.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review... I really appreciate it.
Dan
Delicious guilt free chocolate.
Only tried milk and caramel so far and these were just perfect.
Two flavours down... still plenty more to discover, Julie! 😄
I'm really pleased the Milk and Caramel have both hit the spot. Making proper chocolate with no added sugar that still feels like a genuine treat is exactly what we're trying to achieve.
Thank you for giving us a try... and I hope whichever flavour you choose next lives up to the first two!
Dan
Delivery was slower than expected in the days of Amazon next day delivery.
The chocolate was not as tasty as I hoped and expensive.
Probably not buy again.
That's a fair comment about delivery, Warren. We've all become rather used to clicking a button and Amazon appearing at the door the next day! 😄
We're a little different because we actually make every bar by hand, so there's naturally more time involved.
We've also had a rather wonderful problem recently... our orders have more than doubled in the last three months and we've been working incredibly hard to keep up. The good news is we're recruiting and doubling the size of our team, so we're already working on getting those delivery times down.
I'm sorry the chocolate itself wasn't quite what you'd hoped for. Taste is incredibly personal, and I'd never expect our chocolate to be for everyone.
Thank you for giving our little business a try, Warren, and for the honest feedback.
Dan
Lovely cocoa bar .will be buying more.
I think 'will be buying more' might be my favourite part of this review! 😄
Really pleased you enjoyed the proper cocoa flavour, Deborah. We work hard to let the cocoa itself shine through rather than hiding it behind loads of sugar.
Thank you for giving us a try... and we'll happily make some more for you! 🍫
Dan
These bars are nice and creamy, and it is great that you don’t get the sugar spike of other chocolate.
Creamy without needing loads of sugar... that's exactly what I wanted our Milk Chocolate to be. 😊
We use proper cocoa butter and quality ingredients to get that lovely melt and texture, so it's great to hear you're enjoying it.
And knowing you've found a chocolate you can enjoy without the sugar spike makes it even better.
Thanks for giving us a try, Ray... I really appreciate your support.
Dan
I don’t want anyone else to buy the orange crunch, it’s all mine! Don’t bother buying it, it’s horrible and not very nice, you’re wasting your money. Should you find your shopping basket full of orange crunch and feel you’ve made a mistake then please contact me and I’ll be more than happy to take it off your hands and dispose of it in my belly!
Right everyone... you heard the man. Absolutely DO NOT buy the Orange Crunch. Terrible stuff. Best leave the entire supply to Eddie so he can safely dispose of it for us. 😂🍊
I appreciate you taking on this enormous responsibility, Eddie. It's people like you making these personal sacrifices that keep a small family business going.
Unfortunately, I should probably warn you that other customers seem to have discovered how 'horrible' it is too... so you may have some competition!
Brilliant review... thank you for making me laugh this morning.
Dan
One of the few chocolates that you can actually taste the chocolate and not the palm oil,sugar, and other nasties that seem to make up 'chocolate' nowadays. The Orange flavoir is suble but still recognizable. Will be ordering again.
You sound like someone after my own heart, Beverly! 😄
I've always thought that when you buy chocolate, you should actually be able to taste the cocoa. That's why we use proper cocoa butter, no palm oil and keep the added sugar out of the equation.
I'm really pleased you enjoyed the Orange too. Getting that balance right so the orange complements the chocolate rather than completely overpowering it is something we've worked hard on.
And knowing you're coming back for another order is a wonderful compliment.
Thank you for giving our little family business a try... I really appreciate it.
Dan
This is how real chocolate should taste, love it.
'This is how real chocolate should taste'... now that's a compliment I'll happily take! 😊
Proper cocoa butter, quality ingredients, no palm oil and letting the cocoa flavour actually shine through... that's exactly what I've always wanted our chocolate to be about.
Really pleased you're enjoying it, Sam. Thank you for giving us a try and for taking the time to leave a review.
Dan
Only tasted the milk chocolate one its delicious 😋
Very pleased and its real chocolate 🍫
And you've only tried the Milk so far, Mandi... you've got plenty more exploring to do! 😄🍫
I'm really pleased you called it "real chocolate" because that's exactly what we're trying to make... proper cocoa butter, quality ingredients and no palm oil or loads of added sugar getting in the way of the chocolate itself.
Really pleased you're enjoying it... now the difficult decision is which flavour comes next! 😋
Dan
Absolutely gorgeous,can't stop eating it! 😋
Ah... the Chocolate Orange strikes again! 😂🍊
I'm not sure 'can't stop eating it' was technically part of my original business plan, Deborah... but I'll definitely take it as a compliment!
So pleased you're enjoying it. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review... and good luck making the next bar last a little longer! 😄
Dan
Just do yourself a favour, pay a bit extra and treat yourself to real chocolate from a real chocolate maker. Not only does it taste great but it's good for you.
'Real chocolate from a real chocolate maker'... Gordon, I don't think I could ask for a better compliment than that.
I've always believed that if you're going to treat yourself, it should be with something made from quality ingredients and with care, rather than taking shortcuts.
Thank you as well for recognising that our chocolate isn't just about tasting great... it's about creating something people can genuinely feel good about eating too.
I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a lovely review. Thank you for your support.
Dan
I love the milk chocolate bars, my go to when I have a chocolate craving
There's something rather nice about becoming someone's go to chocolate! 😊
I'm really pleased the Milk bars are hitting the spot when those chocolate cravings arrive, Claire.
Proper cocoa butter, no added sugar and plenty of real cocoa flavour... exactly the sort of treat I wanted to create.
Thank you for your support and for taking the time to leave us a review.
Dan
This was my first order and I chose the taster pack, I enjoyed it so much that I ordered another pack straight away.
Well, ordering another pack straight away is about the best verdict we could hope for! 😄
I'm really pleased your first taste of DGF was such a success, Rachel. The taster pack is a great way to discover what you like... although it sounds as though it didn't take you very long to decide you wanted more!
Thank you for taking a chance on our little family business... and welcome to DGF. 😊
Dan
10 out of 10. This chocolate hits the spot every time. Love it so much wish it would last for ages longer. That's me greedy guts LOL
Sadly not as good as I thought it would be, to be fair i do have a very sweet tooth but it was just not as sweet as i hoped it would be, also the texture was not what I'm use to from the big chocolate companies but again to be fair they are a small company and probably still leaning and perfecting their trade. On a positive note, you can eat without a sugar rush, that's got to be worth 3 stars.
Thank you for giving us a try, Frank... and for such a fair review.
I completely understand where you're coming from. If you've got a sweet tooth, our chocolate is very different from mainstream bars because we let the cocoa do much more of the talking.
Can I ask one question? Did you happen to eat it straight from the fridge? Our chocolate is made with proper cocoa butter rather than palm oil, so it's designed to be enjoyed at room temperature. That's when it melts properly and releases all the flavour.
Thank you as well for recognising the biggest benefit... being able to enjoy chocolate without the sugar rush.
I really appreciate you giving us a chance, Frank, and I wish you all the very best.
Dan
