The nutrition facts on my squares say that in a 16 gram half square,
there are 4 grams of carbs, out of which there are 2 grams of fiber,
and 0 grams "sugars". That refers to all sugars and not just
sucrose. I think that the milk solids are some milk components needed
to bind the chocolate, since regular dehydrated milk does contain a
lot of "sugars" (in form of lactopse and not sucrose).

I like sugar a little sweetened, like semisweet or Mexican style, which has
a bit of spice to it.

Right. I was thinking about the same thing today, after eating a
square of that chocolate. I realized that a little bit of pure food,
unspoiled and unaltered by food additives (such as sugar), satisfies a
craving and does not leave you craving more.

That made me reflect on my weight maintenance. I try to eat not too
prepared food. Raw vegetables, meat, soup, that sort of thing. Very
little commercial and overprepared food, although I eat some at
times. And what I realized today is that, for the last month, more or
less, my appetite matches what I should eat to maintain my
weight. That I am not left wanting to eat much more. (it was not the
case in the first month). And perhaps a big reason for it is that I
eat pure foods and nutrients, largely, without commercial additives
making you want to eat more and more.

It is just a personal anecdote, but I find that so far it works for
me.

I agree with you that I also would need to eat lots more sweetened
chocolate to make me feel satisfied.

Good point.

Yes, there is caffeine there also, but it seems to be less of it there
than in coffee.
