I hope you and your dog are correct, because I ate some of the stuff and it was really good.

I think maybe Suikervrij is Dutch for sugar free. If my blood sugar numbers are low tomorrow, I will know it's OK. We don't get chocolate of that quality in the US. What does your dog say about German chocolate?
