    LOVE dark chocolate.

    I'm vegan so any other kind of chocolate seems wrong! Lindt is good and so is Green and Black's. The best, though, (in the UK), is the stuff you get in Lidl. Extremely cheap and extremely good. JD Gross for the flavoured ones, and Bellarom for the plain 74%. I have a square or two every night, again for my sanity!

    Every now and again I'll just sit down and eat 100g of Lindt 85% cocao. I believe a big lump of calories is good for you every now and again and pure, dark chocolate is good for the soul - especially for women

    I buy Lindt Excellence 70% Cacao. Sometimes I buy the 90% but I like the flavour of the 70% best.

    Dark chocolate is wonderful. In moderation. Has saved me from many a potential binge.

    I buy Scharffen Berger 99% cacao unsweetened baking chocolate and melt it, then take dates, stuff them with an almond and dip them half in the chocolate and then in unsweetened flaked coconut. Three of those is about 150 calories and I have it 2-3 times a week. I also will take an ounce of the Scharffen Berger and eat it with slices of apple. The chocolate by itself is low calorie and the sweetness of the apple is just right to set it off. I also like good quality cocoa in my coffee with some cinnamon and skim milk. The natural sweetness of the milk is enough to set of the cocoa. So - plenty of ways to enjoy chocolate.

    I have one or two dark chocolate bliss at night. Most of the time one is enough. Eating it slow & really letting it melt in your mouth is satisfying. I don't like milk choc. at all anymore. Everything I read says there are good antioxidants in the dark so as long as you partake in moderation, it is all good.

    I buy 1 Lindt dark chocolate bar a week, and eat 1 or 2 squares a day. It keeps me sane! I am currently loving the Seasalt flavor. The one with orange is good too!

    Have you tried the sea salt with caramel? HEAVEN!

    I buy myself a fancy dark chocolate bar every once in a while. I used to bake all the time ending up with tons of cookies, so this is better because it's only 1 bar so I can't go overboard. I try different flavors everytime- I love orange with dark chocolate and hazelnut. No real drawbacks, I can still lose weight if it fits within cals. I like dark chocolate bc I don't go as overboard like with mlk chocolate.

    I love Endangered Species 88% Dark Chocolate. :love: I find dark chocolate is more satisfying than milk chocolate so I end up eating less of it when I have a chocolate craving. I still lose weight when I eat it, I just fit it into my calorie goal for the day.

    Personally, I think Lindt Dark Chili Chocolate is the best. The sweet satisfies the sugar and chocolate cravings, and the chili limits the amount being eaten!!

    MM...love dark chocolate! So satisfying. I like it plain, chocolate covered pretzels, dark chocolate dipped fruit, dark chocolate raisins, dark chocolate cereal, eat it in my yogurt...(and the list goes on). I probably eat it everyday!

    I have chocolate every day-- my budget determines how good it is. On a low budget week I get York mini peppermint patties and have one serving size. When I have a little more cash I get Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares, or the ones with raspberry in them.
