Sooooooo... when you REALLY have to have some kind of chocolate treat.. what do you reach for ??

Any lowcal chocolate treats ? Because sometimes you just gotta....

When I followed WeightWatchers - I would treat myself to satisfy my choc fix so... once or twice a week, I would have malteasers or a Curly Wurly. What do you guys recommend ?

    1 tablespoon of Nutella (pretty sure it's sold in the UK) and some small pretzel sticks to dip in it. YUM!!! Very rich and chocolately...1 tbsp (100cal) goes a looonnnng way.

    Skinny Cow 100 calorie packs are so satisfying. But be careful...you will want more than one! :laugh:

    Dark cocoa powder and one stevia packet stirred into greek style yogurt tastes just like chocolate mousse. 5.3 oz cup of yog = 80 calories, cocoa powder is 10cals per TBsp.

    Fun size bars, i.e. milky way, mars, crunchie, all uder 100 cal.

    Rice krispie Squares, 119 cal, but takes a while to eat and is very filling!

    Oooh, the cocoa in greek yogurt sounds really good, I can't wait to try that. When my sweet tooth takes over, I have been having Emerald Cocoa roasted almonds, I found them in 100 calorie packs which have 8g of fat, 4 g carbs and 3g protein

    I usually go for a kitkat or blue ribbon or cadbury freddo. Today I had a wispa - gorgeous! x

    I normally grab a Dark Chocolate Kit-Kat, that does it for me (although I am a secret Haribo addict :glasses: )

    I stir half a tbsp of nutella or other chocolate spread into my porridge in the morning with a handful of chopped nuts for a chocolate fix. Otherwise the tiny bags of chocolate buttons are good (the multipack ones)

    Haribos are just delightful in every way! If I open a packet they all have to be eaten! :)

    Personally, I choose 70% dark chocolate from Tesco.
    Dark cocoa powder and one stevia packet stirred into greek style yogurt tastes just like chocolate mousse. 5.3 oz cup of yog = 80 calories, cocoa powder is 10cals per TBsp.
    Stevia isn't sold in the UK

    I'm with you on that one, even though I know I will be having 700+ calories if I open a bag of Star Mix, just to have a few, and always end up eating the lot but at the time I just don't care :blushing:

    I know have the mini bags at 38 cals so I can have my fix :happy:

    WISPAS!!! I love them. VERY hard to find here. Occasionally in a specialty store that has imported stuff... Now I want a Wispa. At least I know I won't be able to get one! Have you ever had a wispa gold?

    Hairbo? What is that? I have to say it does not SOUND appetizing...

    Daim bar - a proper chocolate bar with nutty and toffee crunchiness, and just 150 calories.

    So far I prefer half wholemeal pitta bread with small amount of chocolate spread inside, it lasts ages. Or half a Bournville chocolate bar if it fits in my calories.

    Good lord.... Haribo are gummy sweets of a wide variety cola bottles and the such like. Very calorific in large quantities and the morish nature means you end up eating them in large quantities...

    Wispa gold is the stuff of gods! They used to sell them everywhere here in the uk, but for some reason stopped doing it. They came back for a while as a "special", but i cant find them anywhere now :(

    And its not Hairbo! It's a brand name of kiddy jelly fizzy sweets called Haribo.

    Jaffa cakes - 2 for under 100 calories and only 2 grams of fat. Either that or maltesers. I do have a square of dark chocolate mixed into my porridge in the morning :-)

    Haribo are jelly sweets. My favourites are the tangfastic sour mix ones - yum.

    It's not quite like eating a bar of chocolate but I do find that a mug of Options Hot Chocolate normally takes away any cravings I have. I normally crave something sweet after dinner and this does the trick and takes any temptation away! So chocolatty for being a low fat/calorie drink!

    I brought a pack of mini ones the other day and I was so naughty I ate the whole bag!!! Bad me! :)
