    Jello chocolate mousse cups. Only 50 cal and $2.00 for a 6pk at Walmart. SO good

    Chocolate. I have 15 Lindt bars in my pantry that I've been eating one square at a time.

    Usually Ghiradelli squares - regular size ones are ~80 cal, minis ~40. I just picked up a bag of green tea flavored kitkats, which are 66 cal each. Not sure I'd recommend those...

    Quality chocolate is where it's at especially with dark chocolate.
    Cocoa roasted almonds and diet hot cocoa have worked for me in the past as well but if I must have chocolate I have chocolate, a small square of the quality dark chocolate and I nibble it so it lasts a really long time.

    I like reeses, lindor truffles, those brookside chocolate pomegranate/ acai blueberry candies, chocolate/caramel combos of any sort, and good hot chocolate. I found packets of Starbucks salted caramel hot cocoa mix. Other than that, my dad usually keeps fun size candy bars and single serve peppermint patties, reeses, truffles etc in a big bowl on his coffee table so usually if i want some I can just walk downstairs and get some (he lives below me and I have a key ;) )

    Otherwise sometimes I keep oreos in the house, but only if I get the hankering for them while I'm food shopping

    85% cocoa dark chocolate. Preferably Green and Black or Mosser Roth.

    If I am having a lot of chocolate cravings I get back on a Magnesium supplement since craving for chocolate can indicate a deficiency in that mineral.

    I bought some alpro vanilla yogurt by mistake (i couldn't read the package because it's in another language teehee).

    I was RAVING about it to my bf for like a week before i realized it was SOY yogurt! I'm a vegetarian and even i never thought soy yogurt would be tasty!

    A small spoonful of peanut butter with a couple of chocolate chips on it. Or the skinny cow fudge ice cream bars. Or a chocolate protein shake made with dark chocolate almond milk. :)

    That dark chocolate almond milk is delicious.

    Aldi has some really good dark chocolate bars, they have a bunch of different flavors, the sea salt one and chili one are wonderful. Haven't tried them all yet

    "My go to chocolate fix is a strawberry or raspberry greek yogurt (Dannon Light & Fit 80 Calorie) with a tablespoon of ghirardelli mini chocolate chips mixed in and then pop it in the freezer for an hour or so. SO GOOD." [/quote]

    Great idea. I'm going to try this!

    I add some raw cacao powder to my coffee beans when I brew coffee. I mix dark chocolate chips into Greek yogurt with some other fixings such as walnuts, almonds, and/or pumpkin seeds. Kind dark chocolate peanut butter bars - delicious!

    I like the larabar chocolate coconut chew. Trader Joe's chocolate nibs are good for low cal.

    Hershey's special dark - 3 to 5 pieces from a large bar. Hits the spot.
    On holidays, I indulge in some specialty chocolate. For example over Easter every few days I would eat a Ghirardelli Easter square or 1-2 mini eggs. :)

    Unless you're in the UK. Those things were everywhere, I ate enough for a lifetime!

    This....one or two squares of Lindt dark (70% & up) satisfies the craving.....

    My fix for chocolate is...dun dun dun chocolate. I like the Vosges bacon/chocolate bar, the Chuao bacon chocolate is good too, as well as their potato chip/chocolate bar. Oh and the Lindt coconut. And the Hammond Malted Milk Shake chocolate bar. And so many others.

    I love chocolate too! I usually eat a healthy protein bar that has a few chocolate chips in it. Sometime, I has a small piece of chocolate.
    I also love watermelon and that fixes my sweet tooth, which is healthier to eat. :)

    Luna bars, yogurt with chocolate candy mix-ins (mint & raspberry filled candies, so tasty), fun-size candy bars, a single serving of ice cream. Pretty normal stuff, just not large amounts of them. I like my sweets. A LOT.

    It's not "low calorie", but when I really want chocolate, I go for 85% dark by Lindt, the excellence brand. It only has 5 ingredients, and it destroys my craving.

    I eat the 99%. It's...intense.

    I don't really get chocolate cravings because I eat it frequently.

    If I'm thinking of the most satisfying chocolate treats, I'd go with either Jeni's Darkest Chocolate ice cream, or Hubert Keller's recipe for chocolate whipped cream. It's with his recipe for chocolate stout cake, which is also outstanding, but not as filling as the straight whipped cream.

    Nativa Organics Dark Chocolate, typically paired with a nice Cabernet Sauvignon as a treat every so often. On a daily basis? I get a mini fix with CLIF Builder's bars and KIND bars.
