Very good. Tastes like chocolate. Did not like. Awful taste and smell! Good flavor. Great. Delivers as promised. Yummy! Stevia tastes unnatural. stevia

Good taste, using with coffee and backing

Try it in peppermint tea, cherry. I use it in most of my teas. Really does taste like chocolate and it’s not over powering sweet.

Everyone has different taste preferences, but I didn’t like chocolate, vanilla is much nicer. Chocolate leave a friend)

Awful smell and taste. Just sweet, with a taste of not chocolate, but something chemical. Awful I won’t take it anymore. The sweetener of the same company French Vanilla is much better!

I put in my shakes, it tastes good, love the chocolate flavor, just wish it was bigger this didn’t last long, its expensive for the size

Tastes great

Wonderful dark chocolate flavour with no bitter aftertaste. Used it it chocolate icecream and extremely happy with the end result

I love the taste of this stevia product.

The taste is very artificial and stevia generally doesn’t taste good. Everything else was good, the bottle is spill proof and easy to carry around.

good chocolate taste
