    What about the animal bars. There thin so aren't as packed with calories but are a reasonable size, unlike Freddo which is tiny.

    I like them as they are like easter egg chocolate.

    Can you get Lake Champlain chocolates where you are? I break one dark chocolate square into 4 pieces and eat that slowly. LOVE it.

    Fiber One brownies are good for a normal snack and have a good deal of fiber (obviously)

    Godiva sells little bottles of chocolate pearls. You could portion out a couple and suck on them like hard candy. I'd go with Lake Champlain over it though.

    I sometimes keep thin mints (the candy, not the cookie) in the freezer. I have an upright in the basement so if I want one, I have to go downstairs and get it.

    I make chocolate chip cookies, scoop them onto parchment with a cookie scoop, freeze and transfer to a ziploc. I keep them in the upright freezer and when I need something sweet, I get one. It's frozen so it takes longer to eat but if you're wary of raw eggs, this isn't for you (could probably use an egg substitute)

    ETA: The reduced fat fudgesicles are also really good (though my girlfriend thinks they taste funny). They're 60 calories. There's a no sugar added version at 40 calories but I haven't tried it.

    Hey

    I've not heard of Lake Champlain in the UK. Thanks for your other suggestions x

    York Mint Patties--individual size. I keep them in my fridge and have one with a glass of ice water. Good and refreshing!!

    When my chocolate cravings are HIGH, I have a Fiber one Brownie with a cup of sugar free hot chocolate. Comes in at 120 calories. or I break off a piece of chocolate and just let it melt in my mouth. That way my taste buds are satisfied.

    I like a few chippets or one square of dark you get from Costco.
    Don't deny yourself chocolate! Enjoy in moderation.

    You mean, like exercising portion control? Buying smaller bars? There are plenty of alternatives to "eating a lot of chocolate".

    Was the above supposed to be positive encouragment and offering an alternative...IT WASN'T. Don't add comment if have nothing good to say :huh:

    The comment may have been sarcastic, but the advice was good, if you are going to eat chocolate regularly, eat smaller portions. A useful method of doing this is often to buy smaller bars.

    Skinny Cow bars are to die for good! So are the fiber one 90 calorie brownies. I eat one of either one to curb my sweet tooth.

    I switched to dark chocolate. I buy Ghiraradelli Intense Dark Twilight Delight 72% cacao. I have one that's higher than that, and I don't know if I can eat it - it doesn't taste like chocolate.

    You can buy them individually wrapped, or in bars, but one square is 67 calories and the chocolate is so intense, I tend not to want anymore after I finish the bar and my craving for sweets is gone.

    I am a chocoholic. They make 90 calorie bars in varying chocolate flavors. Those are ok. I like the chocolate rice crisps (can't remember who makes them.) Sugar free chocolate pudding. Sugar free hot cocoa (seems to taste creamier than regular, I really like it!). If you have self control, buy something like Dove, or Hershey's kisses that you can grab a serving of and leave the rest. Chocolate meringue cookies. I love Snackwell's white chocolate drizzled caramel corn (they come in handy 130 calorie packs...regular chocolate is 100). There are lots of 100 calorie pack options out there as well.

    Honestly none of the suggestions you're are going to get are going to be a good "alternative" to Cadburys, nothing even comes close in my view. If I need chocolate I work it into my calories. It's easier to do this eating 1700 than for someone on 1200 (I don't know if you are or not, just meant in general :flowerforyou: )

    Something I eat when I'm in need of a chocolatey fix is 1 cup of low cal almond milk + ice + fat free hot chocolate mix + 1 tbsp of cocoa powder. So so so good, and since I use 30 cal almond milk, it ends up being 65 calories total. :)

    No, seriously...as chocolate goes, I eat Green and Black organic's. I treat myself to a couple squares and move on. I dont' feel guilty nor deprived because it's so rich. Alot their bars are gluten-free, which is a plus.

    I am not huge on candy bars, but you can get that kind of taste by eating a square of chocolate with some peanuts. The squares I have are 29 calories each and then I weight out something like a quarter of a serving of unsalted roasted peanuts. Makes a nice little treat.
