About Our Chocolate

No Sugar Added Chocolate

At Ross Chocolates, we create premium No Sugar Added Chocolate for those with diabetes and others striving to eliminate sugars from their lives.

Our chocolate has the smooth, rich taste of premium chocolate that chocolate lovers crave without added sugars that increase caloric intake and blood glucose levels. Sweetened with stevia and a touch of erythritol, our newest line of chocolate – with only 2.6 net carbs per bar – has virtually no impact on blood sugars and up to 17% fewer calories than chocolate sweetened with sugar. Our legacy maltitol line has been made for 25 years and continues to be a favorite of many of our customers. Our chocolate is suitable for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics, those on keto and low-carb diets, and, of course, those wanting to eliminate sugars from their diets.

Try each of our bars — or a pouch of our minis — to discover how good No Sugar Added chocolate can be.

Our Social Responsibility

Commitment to Diabetes Research

Ross Chocolates has always supported the diabetes community in many ways, including sponsorship of JDRF and Diabetes Canada events and research and committing a portion of each sale to diabetes research. 

In the area of research, we also participated in a study with the University of British Columbia in 2021 in which our dark chocolate was given to diabetics (T1D and T2D) to determine if it had any effect on blood sugar levels. We are happy to report that our dark chocolate flavors do not affect blood sugar levels to any noticeable degree.

In addition, during 2021, we started supporting our cocoa farmers through Cocoa Horizons, an organization that works with Cocoa farmers in remote equatorial locations to ensure sustainable and profitable operations, so their farms and communities thrive.

Finally, in recent years, we have expanded our community support to many local, small, non-profit organizations by supplying chocolate gifts and baskets for fund-raising events. 

Our Company History

How Ross Chocolates Was Born

Ross Chocolates Bars Selection

In 1995, our founder, Bob Ross – a chocolate lover for years – was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Although he now had to avoid eating sugars, Bob was determined to continue enjoying chocolate: Bob set out to create premium chocolate without any added sugar.

Based in his home in Scotch Creek, BC, Bob worked to find the perfect combination of cocoa beans, cocoa butter, and diabetes-safe sweeteners to make great tasting diabetes-friendly milk and dark chocolate. In 1998, Ross Chocolates began marketing No Sugar Added Chocolate bars for diabetics and others wishing to eliminate sugars from their diet.

Ross Chocolates quickly became popular and we ship millions of bars across North America and the world. For 17 years, Bob continued to create new flavour combinations, eventually having 9 flavours of maltitol-sweetened chocolate bars.

In 2015, Bob Ross reluctantly retired from chocolate making and Ross Chocolates was bought by a group of chocolate lovers who moved the production facility from Scotch Creek to a larger facility in Port Coquitlam, BC. Ross Chocolates has grown from a small chocolate operation in Bob’s kitchen into one of North America’s leading makers of No Sugar Added chocolate.

Today, Ross Chocolates continues creating the wonderful chocolate that Bob Ross always made. We have also created a new stevia-sweetened line of chocolate to create new offerings that are even easier on blood sugar levels than our original bars. In the true spirit of our founder, we continue to develop new No Sugar Added chocolate treats for those striving to eliminate sugar from their lives.
