    Try Blue Diamond's Oven Roasted Almonds - Dark Chocolate Flavor. It's filling and since I started snacking on these, I don't crave candy bars as much.

    GIRL! You know you can have all of this...in moderation!

    I eat ice cream almost EVERY DAY!! :laugh:

    Raisinettes are pretty low-cal

    Trader Joe's has good milk chocolate mini bars and they are only 100 cals!

    Tabitha, eat the chocolate! Just don't eat so much, buy the treat size bars or break big bars into smaller pieces and wrap them up. Chocolate is a great thing and the dark, cocoa rich varieties are actually quite good for you in moderation.

    Everything said above...Those almonds are the BEST!!! I love them! And there's chocolate whey protein powder that gives you 80 cals and 18 grams of protein!! Maybe mixed with a little chocolate frozen yogurt?

    Skinny cow has a couple kinds of chocolates that are pretty good! No, they aren't reeses, and they do cost more. But they take care of that MUST have it now for me.

    I don't eat diet food & I love sweets, especially chocolates. I plan them into my meals. Easy ones are FAGE 0% greek yogurt + 1 tsp of cocoa powder+1 tbsp nut butter of choice ( I used almond) + 1 stevia packet. Mix then pop in the freezer for 20 mins.

    Another is cupcake in a mug.

    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons flax flour
    2 tablespoons sugar
    2 tablespoons Stevia
    2 tablespoons cocoa
    1 egg
    3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
    3 tablespoons coconut oil
    2-3 drops vanilla extract

    MIx in a mug then microwave for between 3 -5 min. Optional: put a caramel in the center, Hershey's kiss in the middle, or a mini Reeces peanut butter cup in the center.

    It's just enough to satisfy the chocolate craving

    Chocolate protein powder. I mix it with 8 oz milk and 6-8 ice cubes. Yummy. Try it with cinnamon or peanut butter (creamy is best). I get my protein and chocolate fix all in one, it's win-win, and the protein keeps me from binging.
    Good luck and have fun trying out new things. I have to keep telling myself that being healthy is a lifestyle change made one step at a time.

    This treat - 3 ingredient chocolate fudge - actually satisfied my chocolate craving. It's 1/2 ripe banana, 2 T PB2 and 2 T cocoa. Mash the banana, mix with the other two ingredients, and it's ready to eat.

    130 calories if you make as above. I melted 2 T mini chocolate chips in the microwave before mashing the banana on top of them, which added extra calories.

    Here's something that might help you to stay away from it. Theobromine, which is a compound found in chocolate or cacao is actually a neurotoxin. Try to replace your chocolate with carob.
