Just a thought, where do you keep your chocolate and how do you store it? I've got a pack of mint Clubs (8), a pack of orange Clubs (8) and a pack of Tunnocks caramel wafers (6, I think) but to prevent me (or the kids) eating them all in one go I keep them at work in the fridge. One every so often at lunch or break time is OK, I get the chocolate (or sugar) fix and coz I'm at work I'm not in the situation where I will sit and gorge myself so it's fairly safe to buy the multipacks.
A couple more to add to your list: Chomp, 120 cals
Milky bar (25g), 137 cals
Both available from Tesco in single bars.
Kinder buenos, 123 cals, but you'd need to find a sweet shop for these, is that too much temptation?
Kinder eggs are probably OK as they're about 20g of chocolate (so a bit smaller than the milky bar), but Tesco hasn't got the nutritional info.0 -
Try buying the "fun size" packs of candy, and then repackage them into smaller baggies of just two or three pieces. Write the nutrition info for each baggie, then put them away. When a craving hits you, take out baggie, close the cupboard, WALK AWAY, sit down, and eat it slowly, savoring every bite. Then when it's gone, it's gone. You get you treat, without blasting through the whole bag. Win.0

I like Tracker chocolate chip bars - quite low but can't remember nutritional info.0

Thornton's chocolate is nice and they do quite small bars of various flavours, they also have child-sized bags of chocolate buttons which hit the spot if you just want a little treat. Most shops also have the chocolate fountain so you can get a melted 'chocolate shot' in a plastic shot glass, which is just amazing. They're nowhere near as expensive as they used to be either.0

I tend to go for popcorn as a treat quite often. You can get it chocolate covered in some places, or sweet n salt. 129 cals or so a bag.
Boots does their range of 99 calorie shapers bars, of course.
You can get a pack of 5 mini dark chocolate bars in Sainsbury's which honestly do not have the same moreish factor as milk chocolate so I find those safe to keep around.
Holland and Barrett also do some mini organic chocolate bars in a few flavours.
But, I would consider working on the issue with moderation as avoiding the issue does not resolve it.
I speak as someone who also struggles with a tendency to buy bulk amounts of things then eat the whole lot.0 -
Thanks all, lots more lovely suggestions - keep them coming (but please, save multipack suggestions for a different thread!).You can get a pack of 5 mini dark chocolate bars in Sainsbury's which honestly do not have the same moreish factor as milk chocolateI would consider working on the issue with moderation as avoiding the issue does not resolve it.
I'll pop into Boots and H&B next time I pass though!0 -
Not chocolate, but I treated myself today to a Solero Mojito flavour (with rum, apparently, the assistant had to check I was over 18!)
Really tasty and refreshing, 55 calories.0 -
Caramac - 178
Yazoo chocolate milkshake can be bought in 200ml portions and is 140 cal for that
or Alpro Soya Chocolate drink at 250ml / 158 cal for a non-dairy alternative
Cadbury Animal bar (is just dairy milk really!) is 110 cal
Have a look at the kiddy section of the sweets - you'll find smaller portions like the mini packs of buttons and smaller bars of choc that might be more suitable.0 -
Also have a look at the sweet aisle in any large supermarket and you'll see a 40p per pack or 3 for £1 section. A section of these will be aimed at younger children and will have smaller portion sizes accordingly. Of course some will also be higher so you will need to check the packet for the ones you like.
EG just had a quick look at Asda on mysupermarket - Flying saucers - 17g pack = 62cal0 -
Mikado chocolate-covered sticks! 11 calories per stick! Okay, it isn't pure chocolate, but I can eat a whole pack if I'm naughty and it only comes out at about 300 or so calories.0

What I'd like is a UK shop that sells individual 15g Nutella portions… asking too much? Maybe :P
I dont think it is too much to ask!! They have started doing Philidelphia in the indivudual portions!!0 -
Maybe a Nestlé Milkybar?0

Haha oh I didnt mean satiety lol. I meant the slightly grosser (bowel related) side effect of excess fiber :laugh:
I'm a big fan of Mrs Crimbles coconut macaroons. You can buy packs that are just a single one and they're a really nice sweet treat with an afternoon tea/coffee

Naked bars
+1 these are amazing I love all the varieties they do. They are relatively expensive though if you buy them as single bars!!! buying the multi box packs when they are on offer is much cheaper0 -
