Dentyne Blast ChocoMint Sugar Free Gum
By: | Jul 4, 2008
Dentyne Blast ChocoMint Sugar Free Gum is the first chewing gum I have seen that attempts the ambitious combination of both chocolate and mint - and in a sugar-free gum. I was skeptical that this would have a positive outcome, yet I was hoping for the best because I know lots of chocolate fiends who would buy this in bulk if it turned out well. So, despite my personal objection to spending more money on a 9-pack of this compared to a 12-pack of Dentyne Ice, I went ahead and got it so I could do a review for the good of all chocolate fiends out there!
I first broke it apart do I could report on the appearance at Food-Notes.com - it was not gushing chocolate from the middle as seen on the package. Next, I threw it in my mouth and smiled in surprise as I chewed away and experience a nicely balanced chocolate flavor that was not too overpowering for a gum base. Mint also showed a strong presence, but it was all about the chocolate for the first 5-10 minutes. Gradually, the chocolate flavor diminished to almost nothing and the mint taste got stronger. I was quite pleased with the flavor combination, and the gum was quite long lasting. Hopefully we will start seeing more exotic flavored gums on the market.
The calorie count for Dentyne Blast ChocoMint Sugar Free Gum says "less than 5" and elsewhere on the package - where they felt the need to inform us that his is 40% fewer calories than sugared gum - they mention that it is 3.5 calories. The ingredients list, as you can imagine, is filled with some items that many may not understand, plus there are 3 different artificial sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame K and sucralose) in addition to erythritol (a sugar alcohol and source of some calories).
I paid $1.58 for a pack containing 9 pieces, and as I mentioned previously, another brand of Dentyne gum is $0.99 for 12 pieces. Is it worth the extra money? Only you can decide (my pocket can't handle any extra expenses the way the economy is going), but this should be a hit with the gum chewing public.

the detyne blast tastes good too.
I'm not sure I would buy this, but I know my sister would!!
I love chocolate and mint combinations so I have to check this out. I'm a sugar-free gum fiend, but I haven't seen it in my area yet...I'll be on the lookout though!
This was pretty good, but I like to chew something that leaves my mouth feeling and looking fresh, and chocolate is one of those things that kinda defeats that purpose (nothing like having gunked-up teeth). A little too pricey as well.

I was wondering where I could find this, as I haven't seen it anywhere in Manhattan.
I found a place that sells it online at candiesdelight.com
You have to buy a ten pack though, still pays at only $9.50. Pretty cheap
I loved this gum. I was dieting and It tasted great, sure kept the cravings at bay as well. BUT I RAN OUT AND I CAN'T FIND ANYMORE!!!! Can someone tell me where I can get more of this wonderful stuff. Oh, I hate gum by the way. I am trying to give up Sundrop a very addictive local cola and it WAS WORKING with this gum. Help! And Thanks.
I really like the Chocomint Dentyne Blast. I can't find it in the stores anymore. Where can I get it?
I love this gum. I used to buy it every week at my local Wal Mart with my groceries them suddenly I couldn't find it any longer. I went to Canada last fall and found it there and bought all I saw. My stash is running out and I have no idea where to get more. Everyone I shared it with wants it also but alas I can't find it in my area.
I love this gum too! I used to buy it at Walmart as well. Does anyone know where it can be found now?

I have found it at www.amazon.com - very affordable when you buy it in a large quantity! Another great item for chocolate lovers is found at www.chocogevity.com/sheridemars - finally you can eat chocolate and loose weight at the same time!
