1 piece (small) of Caramel dark chocolate (12 g) has 64 calories. That works out to 535 calories per 100 g. It contains 6.8 g of carbs, 0.6 g of protein, 3.8 g of fat and 0.7 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of Copper covers 6% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 42 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Caramel dark chocolate combines cocoa-forward dark chocolate with either caramel pieces or a soft caramel centre. It is sold as a bar or individual pieces, with a bittersweet taste balanced by caramel’s sweetness; pieces add a little crunch, while a filled version is softer and sometimes gooey.
It is commonly enjoyed a square or two after a meal, with coffee or tea, or as a small sweet treat. The combination of sugar and fat makes it energy-dense, though it also provides some fibre and a little protein. If you want to keep the portion modest, break off a small piece and pair it with unsweetened tea or coffee.

Caramel dark chocolate combines cocoa-based dark chocolate with caramel, either as a soft filling or as pieces mixed into the bar. The format varies by product, so the caramel may be visible inside a broken piece or spread through the chocolate.
Yes, it is still dark chocolate when its chocolate portion is made with cocoa solids and does not use milk chocolate as its base. The caramel adds sweetness and changes the taste, but does not by itself make the chocolate milk chocolate.
A white or grey coating is often chocolate bloom, caused when fat or sugar moves to the surface after temperature changes or moisture exposure. It can affect texture and appearance without meaning the chocolate is spoiled; discard it if it smells or tastes off.
Yes, caramel dark chocolate works in brownies, cookies and similar bakes. Its caramel can make the result sweeter and may stay as soft pockets, so chop it into small pieces and consider reducing other added sugar in the recipe.
Keep caramel dark chocolate tightly wrapped in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and strong-smelling foods. Stable storage helps prevent the chocolate from blooming and keeps the caramel from being exposed to moisture or absorbing odours.
Yes, you can freeze caramel dark chocolate, but condensation during thawing may affect its surface and texture. Wrap it airtight, thaw it while still wrapped, and let it come to room temperature before opening to reduce moisture settling on the chocolate.
Yes, caramel dark chocolate contains some caffeine because it is made with cocoa. The amount varies with the chocolate’s cocoa content and serving size, and the caramel does not remove the caffeine already present in the cocoa.
Not necessarily: caramel dark chocolate still contains added sugar and fat, and its caramel makes it sweeter than plain dark chocolate. It may have a more pronounced cocoa taste than some milk chocolates, but that alone does not make it a healthier choice.
Yes, its sugars and other carbohydrates can raise blood sugar, even though the chocolate is dark. If you have diabetes, how it fits your meal plan depends on your glucose targets and medication, so discuss portions with your clinician or dietitian.
Coffee, black tea and unsweetened herbal tea pair well with caramel dark chocolate. Their roasted or lightly bitter notes balance the caramel’s sweetness; a very sweet drink can make the combination taste overly sugary.
