    Pulsin' choc and almond brownies are lovely, as are nakd bars for a healthier alternative to brownies. And if I'm craving chocolate I'll have it, but very high cocoa content dark chocolate weighed out which tends to not be more than 100 cals for 20g

    Since chocolate is required by my body I have it every morning in my coffee. :) 100% Cacao Hershey's Cocoa Natural Unsweetened is 10 calories due to the 3 grams of carbs that brings along 2 grams of fiber per each tablespoon which is the amount I use. The natural antioxidants found in it is a plus in my mind.

    These are honestly delicious... my kids love them! Warm from the oven they are amazing. Do NOT omit the chocolate chips! I use maple syrup to sweeten.

    I'm not saying they are low-cal... I'm saying they are yummy!

    Special K heavenly caramel brownie, and a few strawberries. It's like having chocolate covered strawberries. :) But I'm sure adding any chocolate with strawberries will give you that sensation lol.

    my fix? I eat some chocolate without overthinking life the universe and everything.

    Chocolate is the only substitute for chocolate.

    I am NOT a fan of those 90 calorie pack things! Even this one, which is supposed to be high in fiber, does not fill me up or satisfy me at all. If anything I'm even hungrier than when I began or I end up hungry again 10 minutes later!
    Some ways I indulge my chocolate cravings:
    Plain greek yogurt with 1 Tbsp. dark chocolate chips mixed in
    Chocolate chunk or S'mores Quest bar
    or just eat a piece of chocolate of your preference, enjoy it, log it, and factor your other choices that day so it fits in. Nothing wrong with a little chocolate now and then! :)

    Depends on the kind of chocolate I'm craving I may have: hot chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, chocolate pudding, chocolate truffles, rum filled chocolate, chocolate ice cream, candy bar, nutella, and everything in between. I'm not a chocolate snob. Sometimes I'll have one of those expensive specialty chocolates, other times I crave the cheap stuff as long as it doesn't have the texture of candles and doesn't taste like soap. I'm not a big fan of brownies though.

    I take magnesuim supplements and the cravings magically go away.

    I do love a bit of 85+% dark chocolate from time to time though.

    A miniature chocolate bar (their like 2 bites), or a teaspoon of Nutella. Or 1 square of Lindt.

    I've noticed that a single taste of what I'm craving is enough to satisfy me. The first bite is the tastiest, after that, the rest just mellow out too much.

    I like the brownies too, but they're too small for me so I end up eating like 5 lol. I like to heat them up tho. Makes them gooier. Also, my fave is the mint chip one.

    But my go to is either chewy dips quaker chocolate chip bars. Like a candy bar and only 140 calories.
    Oh and chocolate ice cream of course. I leave room for it in case I want some.

    I simply EAT chocolate! I prefer Green and Blacks 85% dark but will go with Ghiradelli 86% too. Both are wonderful and a half serving is usually alls I need to make me happy. Its good for you. Ignoring cravings only leads to eventual failure, IMO.

    You want some chocolate? Then eat some! :)

    Take a Magnesium Citrate supplement (300-400mg per day or less). Your chocolate cravings will disappear.
