    If your looking for a chocolate fix.. I like to have a chocolate chunk vitatop.. it's a big chocolate fix and only 100 calories with protein to boot! My 5 year old eats it for breakfast and I eat them as an indulgent snack to fix my chocolate cravings.

    Lindt has some nice dark chocolate--70% and 85%. Green and Black's 85% is also lovely. I only eat a couple squares of these at a time and my chocolate craving is satisfied.

    My favourite is Charbonnel et Walker (http://www.charbonnel.co.uk/), pricy but worth it. I also like Green & Blacks who also do the best chocolate ice cream.

    I haven't yet been able to acquire the taste of 80 or 90% dark chocolate, but I did come across two 70% ones that I not only liked but just a few pieces really does satisfy better than the milk chocolate. I buy Dove Promises and Hershey Bliss. You can find them at any convenient store or Walmart.

    I still LOVE milk chocolate but when I eat it, it is never enough. I can genuinely eat just a few of these dark chocolates and feel like I met my craving. I can eat more of it and enjoy it, but it doesn't feel as necessary as if I haven't had enough.

    Yep, I've converted.

    I think he Bliss version is just slightly creamier in texture but they are both good.

    Answering, but maybe slightly off topic considering that everyone else is going with the candy bar type of post..............I have had a cup of hot cocoa every. single. day. since I started and lost 20lbs. in 16 weeks so you CAN have chocolate and lose weight. Hershey's Cocoa 100% cacao natural unsweetened (look with the baking products)...........1Tablespoon is only 10 cals. Use skim milk, adjust sugar to your liking (I use 1 tsp.)............you can make it as dark or as light as you want.........or add a drop or two of almond, orange, or other flavoring. A little over 100cals.
    knowing I can have this keeps me from binging on junk.
