    I looooove Emerald's cocoa roasted almonds. So yummy, and filling!

    Love those! Also, Hershey has little 100 cal candy bars. I found them yesterday down the candy aisle. I got the Reese's one. Taste's just like a Reese's Peanut butter cup without all the fat and calories. Ghiardelli's Twilight Delight is my favorite! However, I can easily consume the whole bar without thinking about so I don't buy it. That'd be a great place to start if you want to try dark chocolate. It's not too bitter and has a nice citrus tang in the background.

    Ok so I am a self confessed choco-holic. I have been known to eat chocolate for breakfast in the past! I find that after my evening meal I always crave chocolate pretty much straight away, but now that I'm trying to lose weight I wanna find some different ways to get that sweet fix without overloading on calories. Any ideas??

    i do eat chocolate for breakfast - special K chocolatey delight cereal to be specific. :) works for me...
    plus i tend to make sugar free/fat free instant chocolate pudding at home with 1% milk
    i can't live without chocolate. seriously... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

    Bump! I would like to read more responses :) A square of dark chocolate or some chocolate chips usually do it for me. It is hard to limit though, I must admit!!
    I second the chocolate chips... I put them in a little bowl and eat them one by one. I feel like I've eaten a ton of chocolate, when it's only been a tbs or two.

    Almond milk hot cocoa -
    1 cup original almond milk, heated up (60 cal)
    1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (15 cals)
    Stevia - sweeten to taste (0 cal)
    Use a whisk to combine and it also adds a yummy foamy froth to the top.

    Enjoy your chocolatey deliciousness for only 75 calories! :)

    A Cadbury Freddo bar is only about 90 cals and usually does the job for me (unless its like last night where I scoffed nearly a whole box of Maltesers!! Oh well, they are lighter than oridinary chocolate...!!!!)

    Feel free to add me too, Im in Berkshire, UK! x

    I have a bowl of cocoa puffs with 1/2 cup 2% milk. 150 calories and you get a shot of chocolate milk at the end. My guilty pleasure.

    This may have been mentioned previously, but I am a solid believer in Organic DARK Chocolate. My favourite is Whistler Pocket Dark, with 72% Cacao. Its incredibly tasty, and you don't need a lot of feel satisfied. However, if you do want a bit more, half the ENTIRE bar is only 220 calories and only 10 grams of sugar. There's more sugar in a banana! I break the bar into quarters and stash them around in emergency spots. Typically the back of the freezer :)

    I'm not sure where you live and or whether you have an Aldi, they make these Ice cream bars that are pretty good sized. I have 1 whenever I have an ice cream/chocolate craving. They're about 100 calories for one bar. And omg is it good....

    They're apparently pretty comparable to the weight watchers fudge bars so you can check those out too since those are more readily available.

    I allow myself 1-2 squares of my favorite chocolate each day, guilt-free. (Lindt Excellence 90% Cocoa Supreme dark chocolate)

    I had that chocolate craving feeling the other day... I walked through the Target candy aisle and found a package of 6 mini kit kats. They're only 70 calories for a package of 2 little kit kats.

    Also, there are Snickers mini ice cream bars that are only 90 calories.

    Gosh! All these people that can just eat one square of chocolate are amazing! I really struggle with that. Tbh, I am not that fussed on chocolate, most of the time I can take it or leave it... but, when the craving does arise I can never stop at just one square. The only option for me is to not have it in the house. I find that usually a cup of Options hot chocolate (about 40 cals) will help the craving. But sometimes only a bar of proper chocolate will do. If that happens, I just try and make sure I cycle to the shop (preferably one REALLY far way) to buy some! It helps with the guilt...

    Jello Mousse are only 60 calories. Arctic Zero is an ice cream substitute that has chocolatey flavors. Only 150 calories for the PINT. I can't just eat a piece of chocolate. I'd eat the whole thing...so that doesn't work for me. :-D
