Here's a recipe for skinny chocolate...

The fact that this even exists breaks my heart. Real chocolate is full of flavor, antioxidants, and delicious, healthy fat. Eat fat chocolate, y'all. Ditch the skinny chocolate.

I personal don't see a need to replace chocolate, I would much rather fit it into my day.. Nothing better than a bowl of Cashews and Milk Chocolate chip kisses for an afternoon snack.... Best of Luck

i can top that.

salty room temperature peanuts mixed with frozen m&m's.

it's the right combination of tastes and textures.

I buy these 70% cocoa chocolate in little squares packs that each are about 30 grams. Melt that in a cup in the microwave, drizzle over favorite fruit/berries.

The chocolate taste last so much longer that way, and the sweetness of the fruit tend to cancel out some of the bitterness of that high % chocolate. And it makes for great slow snacking.

Thank you Guys, so much to go on. I think I will start by buying some good quality dark chocolate and splitting it up into portions, as someone mentioned it is hard to put a bar back down. I will let you know how I get on.

This is the way to go. i hate to 'waste' calories on crappy chocolate. i also sometimes make myself a mocha by adding some unsweetened cocoa & stevia to my coffee.

I thought I should stay away from chocolate while dieting.

There is no substitute for chocolate. Just eat better quality chocolate and less of it.

dear god why?

Are you going to avoid chocolate for the rest of your life? learn how to make it work for you and in your life. Don't just write it off for "while you are dieting"
that's a sure fire way to fail.

I like chocolate-filled Nips. They take awhile to eat and are only 35 calories. I'm great with one or two.
