    I love Dove Chocolates... I will get a bag of the dark chocolate... and a serving size is 5 pieces, but I will only need 3 to satisfy my sweet tooth (and chocolate craving).

    I like the skinny cow dream clusters, they come in milk or dark chocolate. They take care of my craving for chocolate.

    I buy Skinny Cow, but if you can manage not to eat it all at once, you could buy the Hershey's minis and just have one or two as the cravings strike.

    Also, I have tried to infuse a lot of my favorite dessert recipes with chocolate protein powder. I made a cheesecake with it that was low cal and I also made some black bean brownies. The texture was a bit weird but I was thinking of just adding it to regular brownies.

    I eat Weight Watchers caramel bites in rich milk chocolate. Fifty-three calories per piece. And last night I just discovered Hostess chocolate cake w/ a creamy filing - 100 calories for 3 tiny mini cakes.

    Lindt Dark 85 0r 90% cocoa -one square a day satisfies me, and much lower in sugar than others I have seen except for the artificially sweetened ones.

    Yum...This!

    Weight Watchers puts out a variety of chocolate. I buy a bag or two and keep them in the freezer. Takes longer to savor and can get by on just one.

    Yes... their Devil's food and carrot cakes really curb my craving for Little Debbie. Yum!

    depending on how many calories you want to spend i recommend:
    1 tbsp peanut butter
    1 tbsp cocoa powder (the real stuff, not the kind you put in milk)
    1 tsp powdered sugar
    around 30ml water (a little over a tbsp)

    mix well. enjoy. it's sort of good for you and so filling you won't need anything else.

    I like to get the Ghiradelli or Lindt Lindor Truffles. I keep the bag on top of my hutch. I can't reach without a chair, so I get one out at a time and savor it.... I don't usually have one every day because I'm watching my sugar, but if I have a really bad can't deny it kind of craving... Yup, it hits the spot. (I have the white chocolate truffles right now. mmmmm)

    A topic right up my alley :)

    I dark chocolate with pomegranate or acai. Trader Joe's Powerberries are awesome, and Costco makes a really good version too, I think they're called Brookside? They have a ton of antioxidants.

    Stay away from milk chocolate, which leads to chocolate binges. Try dark chocolate...the good stuff that I love: Vosges Red Fire bar (dark chocolate, cinnamon, and cayenne). YUM! And satisfying after just one little square!
