So I get a craving for a Toblerone bar about once a week or so. I have NOT given into this craving but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on substitutions they'd like to share.

    do it, but not the entire bar. .get a bar, freeze it and put it in the fridge as an award. .. or as your guilty pleasure each day.

    Gods, i love toblerones and toffifees and rittersports. . liebe Gott. LOL. .miss germany so much

    I currently have a slice of the best EVER cake that we get at work to celebrate things like 5 yrs with the company, I cut it into a lot of thumb width sizes, and froze them. . and they will be my award. . I'm pulling one out tonite to defrost for tomorrow to celebrate reaching of my first goal(20 lbs).

    I found a recipe for a sugar free chocolate custard and I made it this morning again!!! It is wonderful!! it is like a little piece of chocolate heaven. I posted the recipe on my site and I said I would share it so you might can search and look it up. But it is really easy. I eat it as a meal it is 3 eggs, tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2tsp Xylitol sweetener or you can use honey. warm a pan on stove while you mix all ingredients together in a bowl. whisk really good the lumps in the chocolate will come out while you are cooking. pour in the warm pot and stir till thick. serve warm. I love it for breakfast when I have a chance to fix it. I have a couple of more but I have not tried them. I have been on a paleo diet since last month and I bought several cook books and they have some wonderful recipes. I will be glad to share if you like. Hope this one works for you. Good Luck.

    One square of Lindt dark chocolate. Intense chocolate flavour for fewer calories.

    Snackwell's devil's food cookie cakes. 50 calories each and one usually is enough to satisfy my chocolate craving. I eat them in 3-4 bites too so that kind of lets me savor them

    OMG!! II was given a bag of the minis of these (also a variety pack with the milk, white, and dark) and they are sooo hard to resist! The good news is that my family ate most of them and the ones that are left are the dark chocolate and they are not my favorite. :)

    As for curing the cravings, I usually give in and have a mini bar just so I don't go crazy and eat a king size bar!! Wish i had some better advice!

    I get dark chocolate bars. I am actually having a piece of Hageland's Costa Rica 71% dark chocolate right now. 80 calories for a huge square of chocolate and it doesn't break the bank on carbs, fat, and whatnot. I also am not a huge fan of dark chocolate, it's so rich, so I eat it very slowly.

    Another vote for dark chocolate. I keep the small individually wrapped squares from World Market around. They have different interesting flavors (sea salt is my fave) and I don't feel at all guilty for eating a small square of dark chocolate.

    Hear hear, yet another vote for dark chocolate! Although I LOVE milk chocolate, it's basically nothing but junk-- tons of fat, sugar, and caloties. Dark chocolate has less of the bad stuff, and more of the healthy stuff! PLus it's easier to feel satisfied with less. I usually go for Lindt's 85% dark chocolate squares... and I'm almost always satisfied with just a small piece (1 inch square). If at first dark chcolate is too intense, start yourself at the lower percentages and try to work your way up... It really helps to wean yourself off o f the bad kind of chocolate!

    Although I'm not a fan of Toblerone (I find it to waxy) it's actually a pretty easy bar to portion and save. The way the bar and packaging are designed it's simple to just snap off a single section and put the rest in the fridge for another day without having to deal with all the paper wrappers of other bars. So I'd say just do that, if it's really what you're craving.

    I almost always have a bar of dark chocolate in the house. I buy the kind that are in small squares that break apart easily. I find that I am much more satisfied by 70 calories of a good dark chocolate than any of the skinny cow ice creams or jello sugar-free desserts. Its so rich you can't eat much anyway.

    Those jello chocolate mousse things = LOVE
    and under 100 calories,

    or melt one tablespoon of milk chocolate chips for 70 calories, or just snack on them normally! it's all good in moderation.

    I have a bag of froozen dark chocolate chips in my freezer. When I'm craving chocolate I put a tablespoon in vanilla yogurt as my treat. Its 80 calories per tablespoon. I also love kellogs fiber bars chocolate chip bars are 120 calories and I get my fiber. Just don't start out eating a whole bar!

    Don't deprive yourself! Every girl needs a chocolate fix once in awhile. I keep candy bars in my freezer and if I want a candy bar than I do an extra workout on top of my normal workouts and therefore, I have earned it! The chocolate tastes so much better if you have to work hard to get it. But that's just me...you do what feels right to you. I have days that I burn over 1000 calories now but when I was starting out I definitely didn't have those days and went weeks feeling sore and deprived and have worked myself up to this point where I can indulge sometimes.

    Dove Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate bars. They are scored into five sections (190 calories for the whole 1.30 ounce bar), so each section is roughly 40 calories. You can break off just what fits into your calorie plan.

    I keep the mini peppermint patties in my freezer. 50 cals a piece. I also make muffins from canned pumpkin and Devils Food cake mix. Mix just those 2 ingredients together, put in mini muffin tins and bake at 400 degrees for about 13 minutes. They are SO good. Taste like mini brownies. 60 cals for 1. My kids even love them and they "know" there's pumpkin in there. LOL!
