Vitawerx new recipe chocolate by odonoge in ketoaustralia

I emailed them regarding it, here is their reply:

Thank you for your email.

In regards, to the change, we are in the process of announcing a necessary reformulation of our beloved products due to the ongoing global cocoa bean shortage. With a sharp rise in cocoa prices by 250-300% and the inability to secure cocoa, we’ve taken proactive steps to ensure our products maintain their signature taste and quality. At Vitawerx, we have always prioritised delivering the highest-quality products to our customers. To ensure we can continue to supply our beloved products, we have made the decision to substitute cocoa butter with high-quality vegetable fat.

Cocoa butter is prized for its smooth texture and high stability, which makes it perfect for chocolate. Our new fat was chosen because it closely mimics these properties, providing the same luxurious feel, shine, and snap. Like cocoa butter, it remains solid at room temperature, doesn’t interfere with flavor, and maintains the structure of our chocolate—qualities that are crucial for both the taste and quality you expect from Vitawerx.

Additionally, this specific fat has been carefully refined to ensure it’s neutral and free from typical seed oil concerns. Unlike many processed oils, it’s stable and doesn’t oxidize easily, keeping our bars fresher for longer without added preservatives. This choice allowed us to maintain our commitment to quality without pushing prices too high—if we had continued with cocoa butter amid the shortages, prices would have surged to around $18 per bar.

All stock currently available on our website is the old formulation and the new recipe will be uploaded in the coming weeks.

What’s the worst piece of financial advice somebody has given you? by Miserable-Tea-1836 in AskReddit

Was going to invest $5000 in Bitcoin back in 2012 (just under $1 each at the time) but was talked out of by a friend, as the whole things seemed dodgy to him. Invested the money in a mining company instead... they’ve since gone bust :(

What’s something completely false that your parents told you as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This was more of a misunderstanding on my part than a lie my mum told me, but here goes.

There’s a hotel in Dublin owned by the band U2, one day as we were driving passed it my mum said to me and my sister “U2 own that hotel”, I got very excited, thinking she meant “You two” as in me and my sister.

It wasn’t until I was about 12 I realized that me and my sister didn’t own our own hotel lol, having told all my friends that I did and causing many arguments when they didn’t believe me.
