    Oreo quest bar is amazing as well as white chocolate raspberry. I'll have a no sugar jello pudding that you find in the fridge section of the grocery store. Or I'll make a protein pudding with a scoop of chocolate protein powder, a little no sugar jello pudding powder, some water and then microwave it and keep stopping and stirring and adding more water until it's pudding consistency and it's warm and gooey.

    Lake Champlain's Salted Caramel Chocolate. 3 squares and I was good (I did 2, stopped, then came back to the third later). Good quality chocolate, and also dark chocolate, will cure that craving.

    One thing that food journaling has made me aware of, is that if I'm going to spend calories on something like chocolate, than it's going to be good chocolate to make it worth it for me. I recently bought a few chocolate bars from Vosges. They're so good! I got the Super Dark set. Certainly intersting flavors. I'm planning on trying the Reishi Mushroom & Walnut bar this weekend.

    Whoa! I haven't seen the Reishi Mushroom and Walnut bar. That is Vosges as well? I've had a few of theirs and really love them. And at 8 dollars a bar I savor every bite.

    I also just eat chocolate; nothing wrong with it. I do the Lindt Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt -- it's about 50 cals a square, but after one or two I'm typically pretty satisfied.

    I will say, over the past few years of restricting calories and changing up my eating habits, I have given up a lot of chocolate, but because I don't actually enjoy it anymore. Milk or white chocolate which used to be my go-tos taste far too sweet to me now and more than a little of it and I actually seem to get a headache. Probably for the best though haha

    It is! I splurged and bought the super dark library. They're marketed as dark chocolate with 'super foods'. I don't put much stock in super foods, and I'm certainly not eating chocolate to be healthy. I do love dark chocolate, though, and the flavors looked interesting.

    I just eat real chocolate. GOOD chocolate. I am not wasting calories/money on 90 calorie chemical snacks when I can have a few squares of dark chocolate instead.

    For when the Chocolate Monster hits I'll get into my stash of Mini M&Ms I bought after Easter clearance.

    I also like the Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar.

    Crying is usually my first move. Then I go for a walk. Then I make tea. I then sit down and have a chocolate biscuit - if I ate actual cadbury dairy milk I think I'd be in trouble, at least for now! I will allow it more as my cravings come less often/insistantly!

    It's my most effective so far way of having 'just a little'. I need to wait a while before I actually have that 'little bit' or else little becomes a lot!

    Pulsin' choc and almond brownies are lovely, as are nakd bars for a healthier alternative to brownies. And if I'm craving chocolate I'll have it, but very high cocoa content dark chocolate weighed out which tends to not be more than 100 cals for 20g

    Since chocolate is required by my body I have it every morning in my coffee. :) 100% Cacao Hershey's Cocoa Natural Unsweetened is 10 calories due to the 3 grams of carbs that brings along 2 grams of fiber per each tablespoon which is the amount I use. The natural antioxidants found in it is a plus in my mind.

    These are honestly delicious... my kids love them! Warm from the oven they are amazing. Do NOT omit the chocolate chips! I use maple syrup to sweeten.

    I'm not saying they are low-cal... I'm saying they are yummy!

    Special K heavenly caramel brownie, and a few strawberries. It's like having chocolate covered strawberries. :) But I'm sure adding any chocolate with strawberries will give you that sensation lol.

    Chocolate is the only substitute for chocolate.
