So my biggest downfall is chocolate, or anything chocolate flavored.
I can turn down most things, but I'm a big sucker for chocolate treats.
If anyone has any recipes for chocolate cakes, biscuits, muffins, chocolate pieces etc I would love to hear them.

    Why add a bunch of flour, butter, and sugar, if it's the chocolate you love, eat the chocolate.

    I'm just after some tasty treats that are a little bit healthier I guess and can satisfy me like chocolate.

    I like the chocolate pudding cups. They're usually between 60-100 calories each.
    Or greek yogurt mixed with some sugar-free/fat-free pudding mix. Protein-punch with chocolate flavor :)

    Or how about melting some chocolate and dipping fruit and little cookies in it (I like the teddy grahams).

    Hot chocolate made with low-fat milk and cacao powder, some sweetener -> around 100 calories.

    Sometimes I stir cacao powder into my oatmeal for a chocolate treat for breakfast.

    Cocoa and egg in a cup microwaved for thirty seconds gives you a nice little muffin thing. Melt some dark chocolate on top for extra flavour.

    Or, if you have protein powder, mix two egg whites with Greek yoghurt, one scoop of whey (chocolate), add cocoa powder and baking soda and put in the oven at 200C for ten to fifteen minutes. While it's cooking, mix cocoa powder with the leftover yolks (and more dark chocolate and/or sweetener).
    Comes out like a brownie; then drizzle the cocoa-yolk concoction on top as a sauce.

    Mmmm.... Nomlicious.

    I get my chocolate fix every day with my Chocolate Shakeology. It is heavenly. I blend the chocolate protein powder with 40 cal. / cup vanilla almond Almond Breeze and ice and curb my cravings until dinnertime. I lost 20 pounds in 6 months with just working out 3 days a week and replacing my lunches with Chocolate Shakeology. I truely couldn't survive without. I'm a HUGE Chocoholic! In fact, I have an amazing chocolate peanut butter shakeology recipe that hits the spot too! Message me if you'd like it.

    'Recipe': oatmeal + a bit of butter + some melted dark chocolate or cocoa powder.

    There are brownies you can make with applesauce, prunes, or yogurt (google brownie + those terms, i've tried stuff on the first few pages). They're ok, but still pretty calorific if you eat too many, & serving sizes are kind of small compared to a real brownie you'd actually have eaten most of your life.

    I find when i make stuff, i eat it, so try to go with single servings - a small bar of dark chocolate or halloween sized m & ms most recently, or i'll make that oatmeal thing just the one time.

    What i have every day that's kind of in the chocolate-taste family is Turkish coffee with brown sugar. Basically very finely ground coffee just boiled with water (no filter). Espresso's the nearest thing, I guess.

    Chocolate pudding's not terrible, sometimes.

    Any chocolate cake box mix + one 12 oz can seltzer + one egg white = 24 delish cupcakes at @ 90 calories each.

    I make chocolate protein bars http://www.nomeatathlete.com/homemade-energy-bar-recipe/
    And always have copious amounts of 17010006_lg.jpg on hand. Like seriously, I buy the stuff by the case. I should probably cut back... but I'm not going to.

    Fudgecicle: 110 slow, one lick at time calories. That's for the full calorie treat. There are a few lower cal ones, but I haven't tried them. Very satisfying. I need to go get some.
