something sweet

@wishfullthinking79 have you tried coffee/black tea with either butter or coconut oil? You'll need to use a blender to get really good results. I also loved sweet tea (sorry to say there is no low carb way to replicate that taste) BUT our taste changes. It's really not bad and I think it's better to acquire a new taste than to try to mess with our brain and eat sweets that aren't real sweets.
What goes by the name of chocolate is mostly a mix of several sugars. It shouldn't be allowed to use the word chocolate for products below 70% cocoa. Start with that if you want a square of chocolate now and then, and then go for a higher concentration of cocoa. Above 85% is definitely a different experience from regular "chocolate".
I could never have chocolate at home or I would eat it all before I could control myself. Now I always keep several brands, from 75% to 99%. I like to know that they're there if I want something sweet but I rarely want to eat them and when I do, I eat a square or two, no more. I usually use them for a dessert when I have visits or they would go stale, lol.
That premium ghirardelli 100% cacao chocolate you got? It's great but it'll take you some time to like it as it is. You can try to mix a small quantity with coconut flakes, coconut oil and a few drops of stevia. I freeze it in bite sized portions. If you like coconut, you'll like it. But there are lots of easy recipes with good quality chocolate. Search for keto chocolate cheesecake or low carb chocolate mousse.
