It might not be chocolate, but maybe something made to look and taste like it.
A good nutritionist familiar with kidney disease can tell you which protein bars are OK for patients.

Depends on the ingredients used and how that chocolate is. Is it artificial chocolate or a differently modified source of chocolate from the actual cacao bean. Hard to say with out a list of ingredients because not all sugar free products are made the same. Back in the late 70's sugar free chocolate bars for diabetics did not use real chocolate, it was artificial chocolate.
