Dark Organic Raw Vegan Chocolate Bars
OUR DARK VEGAN CHOCOLATE BARS, FROM A RICH 61% TO A PURE 100%
If you love your chocolate properly dark, this is your shelf. Our dark vegan chocolate bars run from a warming 65% all the way up to an uncut 100%, each one made from raw, unroasted Peruvian Criollo and naturally sweetened, never refined. Bold, complex and a long way from the chalky bitterness most dark chocolate is known for. Rated 4.6 on Trustpilot, 5.0 on Google, and 100% recommended on Facebook.
WHY OUR DARK CHOCOLATE ISN'T BITTER FOR THE SAKE OF IT
Cheap dark chocolate earns its harsh reputation honestly. It is usually made from bulk beans roasted hard at 120 to 150°C, which leaves it flat, sour and one-note. We do the opposite. Our dark bars start with rare Peruvian Criollo, kept below 42°C and stone-ground slowly over 60 to 80 hours, so the bitterness gives way to fruit, warmth and a genuine depth of flavour. Bitterness, it turns out, is usually a sign of a poor bean treated badly, not a badge of quality.
FIND YOUR PERFECT PERCENTAGE
Because there is more cacao and no refined sugar, our dark bars carry more of the good stuff: flavanols, fibre, magnesium, iron and gently energising theobromine. We sweeten only with naturally low-GI yacon syrup, so the sweetness is largely prebiotic fibre your body barely registers as sugar, which is why our dark chocolate suits low-GI, keto and diabetic ways of eating. Every bar is vegan, dairy-free, palm-oil free and free from the top 14 allergens.

Which percentage of dark chocolate should I choose?
It depends how intense you like it. The 61% and 70% bars are rich but balanced and ideal for newcomers, the 88% is bold with barely any sweetness, and the 100% is pure, unsweetened cacao for true dark chocolate lovers. Both Dark Mylk and the Signature Seventy are our most popular starting points.
Is your dark chocolate vegan and dairy free?
Yes, every dark bar we make is vegan and dairy-free, including the Dark Mylk, which uses rice and oat milk rather than dairy. They are also palm-oil free and free from the top 14 allergens, made in a strict nut-free facility.
Is your dark chocolate bitter?
Not in the harsh way cheap dark chocolate often is. Because we use fine-flavour Criollo cacao and keep it raw rather than roasting it hard, our dark bars are fruity, warm and complex. Even the 100% rewards a little patience as the flavour opens up.
Does your dark chocolate contain sugar?
Our Pure Peruvian 100% is genuinely unsweetened. The rest contain no refined sugar, sweetened with naturally low-GI yacon syrup, so they barely affect your blood sugar and suit low-GI, keto and diabetic diets.
Is dark chocolate good for you?
Dark chocolate is rich in flavanols, antioxidants linked to heart and brain health, plus fibre and minerals like magnesium and iron. Because ours is raw and high in cacao, it holds onto more of these than roasted, sugary alternatives, though it is still a treat to enjoy mindfully.
Are Mr Popple's dark chocolate bars any good?
Our customers seem to think so. Mr Popple's Chocolate is rated 4.6 on Trustpilot and 5.0 on Google, and 100% recommend us on Facebook. Our chocolate was also independently tested by the Oxford Brookes Centre for Nutrition and Health, which placed it top for polyphenols and antioxidants against four other leading UK dark chocolate brands.

The beauty of a dark range is choosing your strength. The Pure Peruvian 100% is pure cacao and nothing else, intense and unsweetened, the connoisseur's bar. The Atey Ate% 88% keeps that boldness with just a whisper of yacon sweetness, while the Signature Seventy 70% and citrus-lifted Euphoric Orange sit in the balanced everyday sweet spot. For something different, the Amarillo Chilli brings a fruity Peruvian heat, and the Dark Mylk 61% bridges dark and creamy for those easing their way in.
