Why Lily’s Sweets is your new and improved Hershey’s Chocolate

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at USC chapter.

We all have that “guilty” chocolate craving. But what if it didn’t have to be guilty? Lily’s Sweets has created chocolate that will allow you to indulge in chocolate guilt-free. These delicious bars don’t have to be treated as a “treat.” With their refined-sugar-free ingredients, they are a healthy chocolate snack.

What is Lily’s Sweets?

Lily’s Sweets is an amazing chocolate brand. Creators Cynthia Tice and Chuck Genuardi reached a point in their lives where they didn’t want to give chocolate up anymore. So, they created Lily’s Sweets, chocolate sweetened with stevia, a zero calorie, all natural sweetener. This means Lily’s Sweets has zero grams of sugar, but with the same amount of sweetness.

All of their chocolates are gluten free and non-GMO (hello health!), and they even have dark chocolate, vegan options for all of us plant-based foodies! This gluten free, refined sugar free brand even gives a portion of their proceeds to non-profits fighting cancer, so if that doesn’t give you even more motivation to eat this chocolate, I don’t know what will!

First off, their flavors are practically limitless. Lily’s Sweets has a variety of dark and milk chocolate flavors, including Almond, Coconut, and Crispy Rice Dark Chocolate as well as Salted Caramel, Creamy Milk, and Salted Almond Milk Chocolate. They even have “extra dark” flavor options for those intense chocolate lovers.
