    If I can't find really good dark chocolate, one piece of Dove dark chocolate savored slowly. Their little pieces aren't really that bad. Just plan for it whatever you choose.

    Kimnitz is my hometown candy shop. BEST DARK CHOCOLATE EVER!! All handmade, family owned business.

    I usually limit myself to 1 or 2 pcs a week now. However, 20 years ago when my then girlfriend (now wife) worked there I ate a LOT!

    Im not sure if you like atkins bars... but the brownie bites are delicious! And big so they satisfy you and don't make you think you ate a 200 cal bite :) You can get a few bites in there lol.

    I second the Lindt. Just have a single square of the 90% - it's like 55 calories and will satisfy your taste much more fully than some "work around" substitution.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I do like the Dove Chocolates. I don't have any in the house right now on purpose. Wishful thinking there there is some 10-20 calorie dark chocolate out there.

    All are good suggestions, but once you taste the 85% dark from Green and Black (organic), you will not want anything else.

    I have a square of Ghirardelli every day. It's really not too high in calories. I think 57.

    for an extra specia dark chocolate treat, I made a brownie recipe, has no sugar!

    2 very riped bananas (smashed well)
    1 c. unsweetened applesauce

    Mix these two ingredients together very well. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients:

    1/4 c. flax seed mill
    1/4 c. flour
    1/4 c. cocoa powder
    1/4 c. dark chocolate chips
    dash salt
    1/2 tsp. vanilla

    Spread into 8x8 pan, Bake at 350^ for 25 minutes. Let cool before cutting. Cut into 16 bars. 51 calories each.

    Hershey's syrup, squeezed right in the mouth. It feels so decadent, it makes it taste even better.

    45cal a tablespoon (and a tablespoon is a LOT).

    :Brownie Sundae!!! 1 deep chocolate vitamuffin topped with 1/4C Greek yogurt, a few strawberries, and a drizzle of light Hershey chocolate syrup. You're looking at only about 160ish calories of pure yumminess :)

    hershey's simple (simply?) pleasures are good and they're 30%less fat...but to be honest i'm too much of a chocoholic to ever give it up so if i decide to eat a hershey special dark bar, I factor it in to my daily calories. Still want to enjoy the good things!! :)
