Albert Heijn lists 13% chocolate and cocoa powder in Peijnenburg Gesneden Chocolade Dubbel Donker, but gives no total cocoa percentage. The product page also marks this variety as discontinued. If you’re mainly comparing sugars, you’ll need to make a different choice and check sweeteners and polyols too.
