Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bars An Instant Hit!

Everybody seems to love my new raspberry dark chocolate bars!

When I set out to create my own low-carb chocolate bar earlier this year, my purpose was to try to make a very high-quality product that people will love and enjoy as much as they would sugary chocolate except without all the blood sugar-spiking high fructose corn syrup and sugar that usually accompanies it. I'm very pleased with the final product that is now called "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar" and available for purchase at the online low-carb retail store CarbSmart.com where they quickly vaulted to the top of the bestseller list!

You can also pick up decoratively-packaged 12-packs of my new raspberry dark chocolate bars at Amazon.com and even leave some feedback about what you think about them there. I'd be grateful for your reviews to share with others how fantastic you think my chocolate is. At least that seems to be the consensus among so many of you who have written to me so far. Check out these actual comments from people:

I got the candy bars - and hot damn, it is actually a low-carb product I'd actually eat now and then! It is way good Jimmy! I do hope it sells well!

I'm also a big fan of dark chocolate with raspberry. I think the coconut oil is a nice touch, too, and I'm sure it'll make the bar very creamy. I'd love to share some of these bars with my mom and 13-year-old sister too, as I just got them started on livin' la vida low-carb (woo hoo!)!
**********
Congratulations on having your own low-carb candy bar! I think it's going to be a winner. Chocoperfection bars are great on their own, and even better when used as the base for other candies.
**********
I really like ChocoPerfection dark chocolate bars and I LOVE chocolate and raspberries. YUMM! I order the dark chocolate bars, then hide them from my low carbing husband. Thanks again for informing the low-carb community of another good and good for you product.
**********
Way to go on the new product. It is always nice to know that there are choices for people livin' la vida low-carb.
**********
I am a chocolate lover and I have not had any chocolate since August. I have been on Atkins since July and I have not cheated at all. I have lost over 80 pounds so far and I will keep going thanks to your chocolate bars.
**********
Wonderful! I love dark chocolate and raspberry--together they are heavenly. I appreciate all your information on your blog as well as the videos.
**********
Raspberry and chocolate are one of my favorites, I even love coconut oil, but never thought of putting all three together. Sounds like a fabulously delicious idea, and I bet they must be for you to be putting the Livin' La Vida Low-Carb name on it. I wish you well, and hope you sell millions.
**********
I'm really not missing much of anything on this way of eating but I do love some GOOD chocolate now and then. I have not tried any low carb chocolate bars because of the sugar alcohols in them. I'm happy to give yours a try!
**********
I love chocolate and am thrilled with the idea that I won’t have to give it up. Good for you for getting your own favorite bar made to your specifications. I, too, have bad body reactions to some of the stuff using malitol, etc. so it will be a pleasure to give yours a try.

WOW, thanks for all the GREAT feedback everyone! I'm so glad you enjoy this new bar and it's a thrill to finally have it available for you to enjoy.

A few of my fellow bloggers have gotten into the act sharing their impressions of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar" already:

CARB WARS BLOG

"The Jimmy Moore Livin' La Vida Low-Carb bar is a chocoholic’s dream come true. The same wonderful, deep dark chocolate on the outside as the dark ChocoPerfection™ bars, but with a surprise on the inside—a soft, moist, raspberry-flavored, truffle center."

HEALTHY LOW-CARB LIVING BLOG

"I'm so happy to announce that Jimmy Moore's new Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bar, by ChocoPerfection, is an absolute hit! His idea, spurred on by his love for the combination of these two flavors, and his lack of love for sugar alcohols, turned out to be what I believe will most assuredly be one of ChocoPerfection's most popular items...One of the first things you notice when you open the wrapper is the smell of raspberry. When you take a bite you enjoy a delightfully rich and smooth dark chocolate with that touch of raspberry that makes this bar stand out from so many others."

LISS BLISS CHOCOLATE REVIEW BLOG

"It smells super sweet and suffused with raspberry, not unlike Boehm's chocolate shop used to smell when I was little. Smells like chocolate candy...Oh my, this is really sweet, but with the inclusion of the raspberry it works so very well...As a raspberry chocolate candy-lovin' fiend's treat, this just rocks my happy world. Ohhh, I am having serious joy. There's enough chocolate power accompanying the berry flavor that I feel like doing a little dance. I've missed raspberry chocolate so! I actually think this is every bit as much fun as Godiva's dark raspberry--and this is healthy...for a low-carbing chocolate lover seeking a sweet treat? I give it an A!"

Golly ya'll, I'm blushing now! THANKS for those enthusiastic reviews and I welcome anyone else who wants to write one to send it to me at livinlowcarbman@charter.net. "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar" will soon be available from the ChocoPerfection web site and at the online health food retailer Netrition in early 2008.

LLVLC On YouTube (Episode 18): Jimmy Moore's Got His Own Chocolate Bar Now

Look out world, the "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar" has arrived!

First there was the Babe Ruth-inspired "Baby Ruth" candy bar. Then there was Reggie Jackson's "Reggie" bar. Although I'm certainly no athlete with the amazing credentials of a Ruth or a Jackson, I now have my very own candy bar like they do--it's called "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar." This is a chocolate lover's delight!

Yes, this new raspberry dark chocolate bar is both sugar-free AND low-carb and is presented to you by the makers of the amazing ChocoPerfection chocolate bars. It's been over a year in the making, but "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar" is hitting the low-carb/diabetes market with a big splash debuting this week at CarbSmart!

My wife Christine and I talk about why we decided to come up with this new low-carb chocolate bar in Episode 18 of "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube." With so many other low-carb chocolate choices out there, what's gonna make this one so different? You'll learn EXACTLY why when you tune into this video.

Hear the story behind why "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar" was created:



Not to necessarily take anything away from those "other" sugar-free, low-carb chocolate companies, but quite frankly many of them just don't get it. They insist on using cheap, inferior ingredients in their products like the sugar alcohol maltitol which has a well-known disturbing side effect. Why can't we have the opportunity to have a high-quality low-carb chocolate experience without having to go through all that?

That is precisely what attracted me to the ChocoPerfection bars two years ago when I described them as the best-tasting low-carb chocolate bars on the planet. But, like all great things, there are ways to make them even better and that's exactly what we've done with "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar."

It is the same chocolate recipe that so many of you have grown to love so much from ChocoPerfection, but now there's an added twist. We've included real raspberry oil as well as coconut oil in it for a special truffle-like center that begins melting as soon as it hits your tongue. And the intense raspberry flavor is what I personally like best about this new chocolate bar. It's an entirely new experience for a low-carb chocolate bar!

We only used the highest quality of ingredients in this bar, including cocoa butter, coconut oil, raspberry oil, oligofructose (chickory root providing 12 g fiber per bar), and erythritol. These are expensive raw materials, but they combine to make one of the most decadent low-carb treats you'll ever sink your teeth into. I'm very proud of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar" and gladly put my name and photo on it as my endorsement of such an excellent product for people who are diabetic or are on the low-carb lifestyle.

As I said, the grand release of my new chocolate bar is now here and exclusively at CarbSmart.com where you can purchase them individually or by the dozen. In a few weeks, they'll be available from the ChocoPerfection web site and other fine online retailers. But I'd like to give YOU an opportunity to win some too! Does that sound like a good deal? GREAT!
