    Portion control I think is the only thing that helps me :tongue:. I looove dark chocolate, but I'm still a sucker for Cadbury - so glad they came out with 'Cadbury Thin' bars. 100 calories and just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth,
    I also really like chocolate tea, not the same, but 0 calories when you drink it clear. :love:

    I really hate dark chocolate. My mom always recommends it. I know it's a healthy, good option though. An article said having a piece or two a day is actually good for you! I just... can't do it. Or maybe I just need my mouth to adjust to it like mustard.

    I used to feel the same but now I don't mind it....Kashi makes the most AWESOME dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Thats one way I get my chocolate fix. Also granola bars with chocolate chips are also good. My other fix is my chocolate protein shakes.

    Dark chocolate is the way to go... don't say you don't like it because you can aquire a taste for anything... don't jump from milk to intense dark.. do it slowly with more and more percentage cocoa

    I got started with chocolate bars with espresso beans in them or almonds

    Don't buy lindor/lindt. they get their cocoa from plantations that hold people as slaves, including children. I have a thing with human trafficking but I won't go on about it here.

    but to answer the OP question. Anything Skinny Cow. I love there stuff.

    I eat 3 mini York peppermint patties every day. It's 140 calories and it satisfies my chocolate craving. When my husband gets home though I won't be able to have them because he can't only eat 3. :)

    I've got to try those Kashi squares - they sound awesome!

    I would agree that dark chocolate is an acquired taste. I didn't like it much at first but the more I had it, the more I liked it. And now I can't stand milk chocolate. Try the more standard brands like Hershey's - their dark chocolate is less intense than the good stuff (Lindt). Or like someone else suggested, get the dark chocolate with fruit bits or toffee bits. So good!

    My go to chocolate right now is the Emeral 100 calorie packs of cocoa roast almonds and Zone Perfect Chocolate Almond Raisin protein bars. Yum!

    What? I think this info about Lindt/Lindor is outdated. Take it however you want but here's their blurb about child labor:
