Chocolate is a HUGE weakness for me. :( Any ideas on healthier, less calorific alternatives? I'm getting sick of Jell-O sugar-free dark chocolate puddings. lol

Thanks! :)

    I like the small dark chocolate hershey's bliss... they are about 35 calories per square.
    Also, this is a REALLY low cal chocolate dip that uses splenda, if you're good with that. Put two parts Splenda to one part pure unsweetened cocoa. Add one part water and mix. It's a great dip for fruit, or graham crackers, etc!

    Good luck - I am a recovering chocoholic myself. I'm not eating any this week and HATING it :tongue:

    I LOVE, LOVE LOVE my dove dark chocolate promises! 42 calories a piece. and I suck on them so they last longer, then wait until AT LEAST the flavor is out of my mouth before I have another. I allow myself no more than 3 a day.

    The special K protein bar is delicious, but has a crazy amount of sugar. Try Mcvities digestive, covered in milk chocolate, its so delicious. You can find it in the foreign aisle at giant eagle

    Fiber one 90 calorie brownie bars. Not exactly a "brownie", but not half bad!

    I too am a total chocoholic!! And I had to stop the dove bites and Bliss as they were messing with my insulin and I got stuck and wasn't losing... These are my new saviors - Kellogg's Fiber PLus Antioxidants chewy bars (chocolately peanut butter). Great choice for a snack at only130 calories and 7 grams of sugar! 9 grams of Fiber! Another option I head to is Nature's path organic Peanut Choco granola bar 150 calories, but with low sodium. Really sweet & helps with the chocolate cravings as it has the chocolate chips in it.

    I know that chocolate craving will get me every day anyway, so I usually add a few organic **dark** chocolate chips to my breakfast. That normally satisfies me for the day but if it doesn't, and if I earn enough calorie slack to pull it off, I'll add some Green & Black's 85% cacao organic chocolate pieces later in the day. Just a little of that works wonders for me.

    My neighbor at work is trying to turn me on to that organic cacao stuff. I should really try it!
