    Honestly, when it gets to this point, you just need to eat a little *real* chocolate. Anything else will leave you unsatisfied and heading for a binge.

    semi-sweet chocolate morsels are great for that gotta have feeling. just count them out and put the bag away before you start munching. They're dietician approved too! She must have some idea of what's right since I've gotten rid of 123 pounds and my pre-diabetes.

    Have you tried the cocoa roasted almonds? Lots of chocolate flavor with better nutrition than most chocolatey treats.

    Found this post by someone else and have made it twice already. Perfect serving size; easy; fast; and very yummy. I have the chocolate one with angel food.

    Wanted to share this email. Calories are around 100 per serving, depends on the type of cake you add to the angel food:
    3, 2, 1 CAKE
    These individual little cakes are amazing
    and ready to eat in one minute! They are perfect
    for whenever you feel like a treat without all the fat
    and calories that cake can have. Genius idea!
    INGREDIENTS:
    1 box Angel Food Cake Mix
    1 box Cake Mix - Any Flavor
    2 Tbsp Water
    Makes 1 serving.
    DIRECTIONS:
    In a ziploc bag, combine the two cake mixes together
    and mix well. For each individual cake serving, take
    out 3 Tablespoons of the cake mix combination and
    mix it
    with 2 Tablespoons of water in a small microwave-safe
    container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, and you have
    your own instant individual little cake!
    KEEP remaining cake mixture stored in the ziploc bag
    and use whenever you feel like a treat! You can top
    each cake with a dollop of fat free whipped topping
    and/or some fresh fruit.
    Helpful Tips:
    This recipe is called 3, 2, 1 Cake because all you need
    to remember is
    "3 tablespoons mix,
    2 tablespoons water,
    1 minute in the microwave!"
    TRY various flavors of cake mix like carrot, red velvet, pineapple,
    lemon, orange, etc. Just remember that one of the mixes has
    to be the angel food mix; the other is your choice.
    The flavor possibilities are endless!
    NOTES:
    The best thing is, you open both cake mixes into a gallon
    storage bag, one that 'zip locks' or 'self-seals', or a
    container that seals tightly, shake the two cake mixes to
    blend and then make the recipe. Storage of mix is simple,
    put it on a shelf. No need to refrigerate, since the mix is dry.
    Always remember, that one of the cake mixes MUST be
    Angel Food. The other can be any flavor.
    The Angel Food is the cake mix that has the eggs whites
    in it. So, if, anyone is allergic to egg whites, you can NOT
    serve this recipe.

    Saw this in Martha Stewart a while back: slice a banana diagonally and freeze the slices. Then dip them in unsweetened cocoa powder to which you add a little cinnamon. But I agree with Kwpenguin - having a reasonable portion of the real thing now and then is probably the best idea.

    No sweets ever, not the way to go in my book. I've seen the chocolate mug cake posted quite a bit. Here's one version I found and here's a site that may be of use to you.

    100 Calorie Chocolate Mug Cake

    Ingredients

    2 tablespoons self-rising flour
    2 tablespoons cocoa powder
    3 tablespoons stevia for baking
    2 tablespoons unsweetened apple sauce
    2 tablespoons 35 calorie per serving unsweetened almond milk
    1 egg white

    Instructions

    1. Add all ingredients to a large mug. Whisk well with a fork.

    2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.

    I eat chocolate on a pretty regular basis. Chocolate is good for you, in smallish amounts.

    Lindt 90% dark chocolate. Eat 1 square = yum.

    Cut up banana and dip each piece in melted above chocolate bar, then roll in shredded coconut or nuts, or don't. Cool and mow down. These are good frozen.

    Cut up strawberries and dip them in melted above chocolate bar, potential for rolling in things here too. Cool and mow down.

    Black bean brownies? Delicious, especially with natural PB swirled through. These are excellent frozen.

    Why no dessert ever?? I would totally fall off that wagon! Google carob recipes if you just want something different than old chocolate habits.

    Get unsweetened, 100% cacao and make yourself some hot chocolate. I like using 2-3 tbsp. per mug with 1-2 tsp. of sugar, and preparing it in hot milk. The cocoa plus the sugar together only come to 60-75 extra calories, and milk is good for you. :)

    If this isn’t quite sweet enough for you, add 2 Tbs of honey, or use a little less cocoa if you dont like really strong chocolate.

    You can have a little sweet; you shouldn't be depriving yourself because you'll end up binging. Always keep dark chocolate at home and have a square if you're craving. Savor it.

    If you need more, have something real sweet, just not too much.

    I agree with the cocoa almonds (they also have 100 calorie packs), a fudgicle or a piece of chocolate. Dove dark choc is the best in my opinion. I can also "kill the urge" must faster with the richer, dark choc. VS the creamier, fattier milk choc.

    Every once in awhile just HAVE the chocolate...count the calories that were in it and enjoy every bite! It will kill your craving and then you can move on. If you keep trying to avoid it, you'll just keep thinking about it. I had an ice cream sandwich Christmas day. IT WAS AMAZING. Hadnt eaten one in ages. It didn't kill me and it was delicious!

    i buy the no sugar added pudding or mousse in the dairy aisle. i think they really taste great and only 60cal.sometimes i use unsweetened cocoa mixed with a sugar substitute and make hot chocolate with skim milk or 1/2 boiling water..feels decadent with not a lot of calories. one square of dark chocolate is always good too.
    :love:

    Put a banana in a blender with some unsweetened cocoa and a little chocolate rice milk. It is like chocolate ice cream. Very delicous. I add blueberries, walnuts, dates, or anything else I feel like at the time to change it up. Good luck!

    I don't know if you have a Trader Joes nearby, but they have some excellent real chocolate treats. Two of my favorites are the 100 calories bars (portioned controlled so that's a bonus) or the dark chocolate sea salt covered almonds....yum!!!!

    They also have tiny brownie bites, small cookies, mini ice cream bars. My point is, it's those first couple of bites that taste the best, so make them really good quality and satisfying.

    Man, I love me some chocolate!

    Carob chips are tasty and not chocolate.

    I have one small piece of chocolate at least every day. If not I'd end up running by somebody on campus and stealing their M&M's. Then I'd rob the grocery store of all their cheesecake.

    they nay sayers will say "ewww" but "I" like the vita cake mini brownies. I get 1 bar for 50 calories and pretty light on the other ingredients...I warm it up in the microwave for 28 seconds and it satisfies my crave. If I'm going to have real chocolate I too get a bar of dark chocolate and freeze it in little squares..and limit myself to 1 square. Frozen takes longer to eat.

    I eat a dessert everyday. There is no way I want to live my life without dessert! I like dark chocolate squares and protein enriched desserts- more bang for your buck. I'll run for chocolate.

    Stop torturing yourself. There is nothing wrong with having desserts and sweets as long as you remember it's a trade off. Perhaps cut back your breakfast and lunch by 50 cal each. This will leave an additional 100 for a dessert. Or, do that and agree to walk a mile or exercise a little more the next day to burn another 100...that would leave you 200 cals to work with. Look at your diary and see what you can work out...

    Swiss Miss Diet Cocoa (only 25 calories and is a good source of calcium) and South Beach Whipped Chocolate Almond Protein bar (100 calories) do it for me when I have a nonspecific chocolate craving.
