    i have to eat pure chocolate 80%+ cacao because i am allergic to soy and corn and almost every candy bar has one or both. i love chocolate with orange zest in it. YUM! i just eat a small bite so it's not many calories. honestly, i would probably rather eat one small square of really good high quality chocolate rather than a milky way, snickers, etc. even if allergies weren't an issue.

    I bake stuff with chocolate in it, especially brownies or energy bites, bars. I'm also enjoying Lara Bars. I don't like candy much. But my chocolate bars of choice are Rocher, kit kat, and snickers. Mostly Halloween though for me.

    official chocoholic chiming in, but sparing you the whole shpeel on turning chocolate from a sin 'treat' to a medicinal daily must, ghiradelli (sp?) has ruined me for herseys, et al, with their baking chips. not as "fun" as a snickers mini with their unassuming blob form, but their chocolate is really superior and they have a 60% cocoa baking chip that's actually, as far as 'bad' chocolate (processed/sugared up) goes, almost healthy for you. something like 80 calories for a serving of.. maybe a half oz? the more milk you add to it the lower the calories will go (sugar content goes up, fat content from actual cocoa goes down) so that makes those foil wrapped treats seem like they're doing us a favor calorie-wise they stick it to us metabolically on the back end. oops. so much for saving yawl from the shpeel. : )

    Dole Dippers - Frozen Chocolate covered bananas or strawberries. The strawberries are 60 cals a pack - the bananas are 100. So yummy. A nice little chocolate treat - w/a fruit bonus!

    I'm a big fan of the Kelloggs LCM Kaleidos bar. Chocolately and sweet and a decent size for 90 cals

    Dark chocolate totally hits the spot for me. I use some Belgian chocolate but I guess any other dark chocolate would work (yes, I prefer milk, but I'm more likely to want to eat more, while I'm satisfied with 50 calories worth of dark chocolate).

    Kozy Shack puddings are delicious too.

    Any sort of chocolate bar can be "low cal" if you just don't eat the whole bar. My regular treat are the salted caramel dark chocolate bars from Trader Joe's. I eat 1/2 a serving whenever I feel the urge, 115 calories and totally satisfying for me.

    Skinny Cow makes some yummy treats. I've also tried the Special K Fudge Brownie which was pretty tasty as well. Special K also has the crispy bars, can't remember what they're called, but the Cookies n' Cream is good.

    I keep a supply of mini chocolate bars. Most are 50 calories each. Right now, I have mini Twix, York Peppermint Patties, Three Muskateers and Mounds (those are 80 calories).

    One hits the spot.

    I also like Zen Chocolate Pudding with Almond Milk.

    I have a stash of those Moser Roth bars. The Orange/almond is my favorite!

    My wife and I eat one almost everyday after dinner (see my diary)! Very satisfying for the amount of cals/carbs it is!! Sold at most grocery stores and drug stores. About $4 for 6 bars.

    'Slim-Fast: Peanut Butter Crunch Time'

    100 cals
    16 carbs
    4 fat
    1 protein

    I have a few squares of Lindt Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt. Sweet and salty - how can you go wrong? Plus totally satisfying. I have 50-100 calories worth for dessert every night.

    Chocolate pancakes. There's a mix by Urban Accents that's really good, but I'm sure there's an equally good homemade recipe out there and I'm going to start searching for it >:) . Anyway, I substituted low fat buttermilk for the whole milk in the recipe, and the pancakes were perfect. Dark chocolate flavor, very moist.

    They're a little temperamental to cook - following my usual pancake cookery technique, I ended up with burnt outsides and completely raw insides. These need to be cooked on low, not medium heat for longer.

    2 ~8" pancakes, 200 cals prepared per the package. I didn't figure out how much less mine were with the LF buttermilk.

    When I want chocolate I usually go for any type of snack sized bar, a cup of chocolate almond or soy milk, or a palmful of cocoa dusted almonds. Calories vary, but any of that is usually enough to satisfy my craving.

    Make your own and you will know the caloric content. Don't get fooled, low calorie chocolate bars are full of sugars, which is 79098 times worse than normal chocolate bars with fat.

    What 'normal' chocolate bar doesn't have sugar?

    ^ I LOVE Lindt Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt, it's only 48 cal each square and pair with a cup hot tea, it's an idea treat for me.

    I recently discovered dipping a dark chocolate bar into peanut butter and eat just like that! It was soooooooo satisfying!!! of course it will cause you more calories but its so worth it if you have serious craving and have some calories to spare :p

    I like alpro soya dark chocolate pudding pots, they are only about 115 calories but taste like a milk chocolate custard. Lovely!!!

    Dark chocolate is usually low in calories compared to milk chocolate- I like Lindt and Ghirardelli.

    The serving size and calories make it a very decent treat, in my opinion. 16 pieces for 170 calories.

    Swiss Miss hot chocolate- they have a diet variety for 25 calories. I can tolerate it, but it seems to not dissolve very well. Other varieties are 80-110 calories and filling to boot.

    The chocolate QuestBars.

    Yep. They're about as sweet as a 70% dark chocolate bar, so they don't really need anything extra, at least I don't think so. And this is supposed to be low-cal recommendations :wink:

    I would imagine they'd be awesome with some chopped nuts, fruit, whipped cream, some nut butter ... just about anything that goes well with chocolate.
