    Some low fat chocolate covered bars are quite satisfying. My favourite is Tesco reduced fat crispy orange bars. They're small but sweet and usually seem to do the trick. No good if someones waving a bag of Galaxy Minstrels in front of me though lol

    Pick rich, dark, expensive chocolate. A little will satisfy, and if it's pricey, you won't binge on it.

    Here's some of what I use for chocolate fixes

    - Dark Chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
    - Chocolate Protein Powder
    - Frozen Hot Chocolate (1.5 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp honey, 1.5c almond milk, tsp vanilla extra, & ice blended) Only 128 calories.
    - Chobani Vanilla Chocolate Chunk (high in carbs, IMO & has sugar but oh well its good anyways)
    - Raw Chocolate Pumpkin Macaroons (recipe below)

    1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
    1/4 cup pecan flour (or almond flour)
    1/4 cup cocoa powder
    1/4 cup pumpkin puree
    1/4 cup raw organic honey
    2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    pinch of salt

    Mix dry ingredients, add wet ingredients, stir, and scoop out rounded balls. Refrigerate for about an hour to solidify. Keep store in fridge or freezer and serve cold.

    Like everyone else said, dark chocolate is much much better for you and you can't eat as much of it!

    Otherwise I agree that a choc flavoured diet whey protein shake hits the spot :)

    Other people I know have also recommended a cup of low cal hot choc :)

    Instant 'add water' hot chocolate does it for me!

    I allow myself to indulge while counting calories and I continue to lose weight! Bittersweet dark chocolate square with 1/2 teaspoon almond butter... 79 calories :)

    I didn't think I could cope without chocolate so gave it up for a year. I wish I'd stayed off it as I am a chocoholic. I'm not eating chocolate anymore though until I'm at a healthy weight. I have to give it up totally it's the only way for me, a little bit is never enough but if I stop it I can cope because I can stay focused.

    I have the same problem! I agree with other posters: dark chocolate is the way to go to cut out choc cravings. If I'm craving something sweet, I'll have fruit or a snack with peanut butter. If I'm craving chocolate, I'll eat some in moderation.
