Guilt-Free

Alternatives to Your Favourite Chocolate Treats

Let’s be honest — chocolate isn’t just food, it’s an experience.

Whether you reach for it when you’re happy, stressed, or just in need of a little pick-me-up, chocolate is the ultimate mood booster. And with 95% of people in New Zealand enjoying it regularly (thanks, Mintel!), it’s safe to say we’re a nation of chocolate lovers.

But if you’re managing diabetes or trying to stick to a low-sugar lifestyle, does that mean chocolate is off the table?

Not at all.

If you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your diet, we’ve got you covered. From rich bars to creamy spreads, discover our range of guilt-free, low-sugar chocolate alternatives — all the flavour, none of the compromise.

Read on for the ultimate guide to low-sugar chocolate from The Skinny Food Co.

Low-Calorie & Low-Sugar Chocolate Bar Swaps

Hazelnut-Filled Chocolate Bars

Love those creamy, hazelnut-filled chocolate bars but not the sugar crash that comes with them? We've got a smarter, guilt-free swap that tastes just as indulgent.

Meet our Chocaholic High-Protein Filled Wafer Bars — the perfect alternative for chocolate lovers who want to stay on track.

🍫 Available in three irresistible flavours — Cocoa & Salted Caramel, Cocoa & Hazelnut, and Hazelnut & White Chocolate — each 30g bar packs 9.9g of protein and just 1.5g of sugar.

📉 That’s a major upgrade compared to the leading brand, which has only 3.6g of protein and a whopping 12g of sugar per serving.

Feeling creative?

Whip up your own low-calorie treat by mixing:

A spoonful of high-protein Greek yoghurt
A Swirl of low-sugar Chocaholic spread
A sprinkle of Cacao nibs
And a scoop of your favourite protein powder

It’s the perfect snack to crush cravings and support your goals.

Milk Chocolate

Can’t resist the creamy taste of classic milk chocolate?

Now you don’t have to. The Chocaholic Smooth Chocolate Bar from The Skinny Food Co. delivers all the rich, velvety flavour you love — without the sugar overload.

Ideal for a pre- or post-workout snack, this bar is vegetarian, gluten-free, and packed with protein to keep you satisfied and fuelled.

🍫 Each 30g bar contains 7.8g of protein and just 3g of sugar.

Compare that to a standard milk chocolate bar with only 2.1g of protein and a hefty 17g of sugar, and the choice is clear.

Chocolate Malt Balls

Can’t resist those light, crispy chocolate malt balls? Neither can we — but the sugar content in some popular brands can reach up to 20g per 37g serving.

Enter your new go-to snack: Chocaholic High-Protein Milk Chocolate Crispy Balls from The Skinny Food Co.

Crispy Chocolate

Craving a crispy, chocolatey snack? While a popular version of this treat packs 13.77g of sugar and just 1.89g of protein per 27g serving, there's a better-for-you option.

Try the Chocaholic Crisp Bar 27g by The Skinny Food Co — with only 2.6g of sugar and a satisfying 8.1g of protein per serving, it’s a smart, low-sugar alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste.

Toffee Chocolate Bars

Chocolate and toffee—an unbeatable duo. But if you're watching your sugar intake, the classic toffee chocolate bar might not be your best bet. With 198 calories, 7.1g of fat, just 1.6g of protein, and a hefty 18g of sugar per 38g serving, it’s a treat that can quickly add up.

Looking for a lighter option? Try our Skinny Duo Bars. These delicious bars are coated in smooth chocolate with a crunchy, toffee-flavoured centre that hits all the right notes. And the best part? Each 30g bar contains just 99 calories, 0.4g of sugar, 4.5g of fat, and a generous 7.2g of protein—perfect for a guilt-free treat.

Craving variety? Skinny Duo Bars come in five more irresistible flavours: Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Brownie, Salted Caramel, Dark Chocolate & Raspberry, and Birthday Cake. Can’t choose just one? Grab our Skinny Low Sugar High Protein Bar Six Pack and try them all!
