    I like the single serving Warm Delights from Betty Crocker, they're only 150 calories each and are delicious.

    I also like Nutella pops, a recipe I got from another poster. 1/2 cup skim milk, 2 TBSP Nutella, blend, pour into popsicle molds and freeze, yields 3. They're amazing and depending on the milk you use are low cal (mine are 82 calories each).
  • Hungry Girls YUM YUM BROWNIE MUFFINS!!!!

    Yum Yum Brownie Muffins

    (1 Muffin 181 calories)


    1 box devil's food cake mix
    1 can solid pack pumpkin (15 oz.)

    Directions:
    Mix the two ingredients together. Don't add anything else that may be mentioned on the box, such as eggs, oil, or water. The mixture will be very thick and you will be tempted to add in other things to make the batter smoother. DO NOT DO THIS AS IT WILL RUIN EVERYTHING! Place batter into muffin tins sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

    I know you love cake, but to satisfy my chocolate craving, I have one Lindt chocolate truffle. Only 50 calories:)

    I so nicked these off Nigella Lawson. Link :http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/intensechocolatecook_87336 My mom chooses these over Lindt and Cote d'ivoire :P

    These cookies are ones I make when you want a huge chocolate hit. They are NOT diet friendly, but they are great for the odd down day. They freeze well, keep for over 2 weeks in the fridge, and make good presents for friends.

    125g/4oz dark/milk chocolate
    150g/5¼oz plain flour
    30g/1oz cocoa, sifted
    1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
    ½ tsp salt
    125g/4oz unsalted butter, softened
    75g/2½oz light brown sugar
    50g/2oz caster sugar
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 free-range egg, cold from the fridge
    150g-350g/12¼oz dark chocolate chips

    Differences between my recipe and Nigellas:

    You do NOT need 350g of chocolate drops. I use 150-300g depending on what I want. Milk, dark, doesn't matter. Nor do you need drops, I simply got two chocolate bars and chopped them into bits with a knife.

    I make a full set of 24 cookies and not 12. You will need to watch how long you cook them for. They should be gooey in the middle.

    Make completely sure you do not flatten them. When they go in the oven they need to be true golf-ball shaped and not cookie shaped. Otherwise they will melt into delicious tasting very flat brownies. And Brownies are not cookies :P


    Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3.

    Break the 125g/4oz dark chocolate into pieces and place into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted.

    Place the flour, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large bowl and mix well.

    In another bowl, cream the butter and two sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate and stir well.

    Beat in the vanilla extract and crack in the egg, then mix in the dry ingredients. Finally stir in the chocolate chips.

    Scoop out 12 equal portions of the mixture - an ice cream scoop and a palette knife are the best tools for the job - and place onto a lined baking sheet about 6cm/2½in apart. Do not flatten them.

    Transfer to the oven and bake for 18 minutes, then test with a skewer - it should come out semi-clean and not wet with batter. If you pierce a chocolate chip, try again.

    Leave the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to harden as they cool.

    You can freeze them. they store well if dusted in icing sugar and layered with greaseproof paper. Enjoy!

    I made a sugar free 'soda cake' the last time I *needed* chocolate. (and 1 square of dark just wasn't cutting it, haha).
    A sugar free cake mix, mixed with a 12oz diet coke. Cut into 12 slices its 121 cals per slice, I just put a little bit of coolwhip with cocoa powder mixed in on top.
    High in chemicals, low in calories. haha.

    I eat chocolate nearly every day now :happy: I just try and stick to a decent chocolate bar, usually Green & Blacks does the trick. If I'm going for something a bit more indulgent I just make sure it fits in with my daily goals.

    It's quick, it's easy, it's delicious....2 ingredients...One can of pumpkin and one box of cake mix (chocolate, spice, vanilla - you decide), that's it.

    Mix the two together, put into cupcake pan, bake as directed.

    Fluffy, chocolate muffins, (better than mixing cake mix and a can of pop)...you will not be disappointed.

    Enjoy!

    I'm the same way when it is my week. I think its just about my only symptom. I HAVE to have chocolate.

    Fiber One 90 calorie brownies!


    This!^^^^^^ And it is my personal opinion that there is not a life worth living with out chocolate. I refuse to go with out it, but I am able to eat a serving of it. But after saying that, that ahole TOM does not come around my house anymore after my surgery to get rid of him. Best thing ever. Before I swear I would make and eat an entire pan of brownies.

    hmm what about that cake recipe where you can microwave one serving ?
    i dont have it, but i know its easy and delicious

    http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/11/06/one-minute-chocolate-cake/

    One Minute Chocolate Cake - takes two minutes to assemble, one minute to cook, and hits the spot for me! I make it without oil and it's 140 calories, with oil is only 240. Quick, easy, you probably already have all the ingredients, and it satisfies my chocolate craving without making me feel guilty! Indulge and enjoy!

    Try a chocolate calcium supplement. Usually two chocolate pieces per day, at 30 cals each - choco craving and calcium requirement filled in 60 calories total. I usually find these in vitamin/health food stores like GNC or wholefoods.
  • Oh man i make some kick butt keto friendly (sugar free low carb and low calorie) chocolate that is to die for.

    You take sugar free chocolate chips and melt them in a double boiler type of set up. Then add in 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. A cup of Splenda, ( i put almonds in mine because yum!) and then about 4 tablespoons of vanilla extract. Then i just whip around till the consistency is even then poor into an egg mold i got on sale after easter. pop in the freezer for an hour and BAM! instant low cal and low carb chocolate bars. I can eat 3 in one sitting and not gain an ounce. :tongue: But some peoples bodies wig out with artificial sweetners so be careful. I can promise it'll settle your chocolate cravings though and for about 100 calories a pop it's not too terrible. :)

    Ok so i make these with Red Velvet or Devils food cake. Add a table spoon of Dunkin Heins Butter Cream and they are about 170 calories a piece when you make a batch of 18. You can figure out the calories by dividing how many muffins you make by using the side of the box of cake and can of pumpkin.

    Pumpkin Muffins

    1- Small Can on Pumpkin
    1- cake mix (Any kind) **I use Red Velvet or Devilds food**

    Put into cupcake pan (Makes 16 to 20)

    Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
  • Single serving of "NO PUDGE!" BROWNIE MIX with fat free cool whip. Just mix in a little fat free vanilla yogurt microwave for 1 minute and your good to go!!

    If you don't have the time to bake anything or are just too tired, Swiss Miss has chocoate fudge bars that are yummier and smoother than the regular fudge bars & only 100 calories to boot. My kids (all 5 of them) preer the Swiss Miss over the other fudge bars too. I too like the Skinny Cow (usually 150 cals each) stuff too but when I want just that chocolate fudge taste the Cow doesn't hold up.

    Mine just left.... The week before tho I was craving chocolate. I wanted M&M's.... All they had at the store was the king size bag.
    So I took 5 out, and gave the rest to my niece's. :)
