    Weight watchers do a good range of chocolate-y snacks (most are individually wrapped to stop temptation of eating more than one!) Most are under 100 calories and low in saturated fats. They do things such as chocolate digestives biscuits, mini rolls, chocolate wafers -you can grab them in most supermarkets. Also fibre one brownies, more on the pricier side of things but each brownie is 99 calories and they are great. I recently discovered that chocolate orange club cake bars actually have pretty good macros.. pretty shocking as it's not what you'd expect.. they are only 99 calories per cake bar. Things on they higher end of they calorie scale at roughly 215 calories per bar is grenade protein bars (you can get them in Holland and barrett!)they are 2.50 each (expensive, I know but totally worth it!) And they have 20g protein each.. they are pretty filling and do not taste at all like protein bars.. they are amazing! Hope this helps :) I'm a firm believer in the 'if it fits your macros' way of life. Nothing wrong with a chocolate treat.

    I just bought some individual, single serve bags of dark chocolate covered almonds. 150 cals per bag and you get the chocolate fix and some protein.

    I often have a slice of really grainy bread with about half a tbs of nut butter and some berries with my evening coffee or tea. I also really like making a little mix of berries, almonds, and dark chocolate chips. Or I peel and separate a clementine and dip the pieces into some melted dark chocolate and then sprinkle with some sea salt - it only takes a few minutes to make but it tastes super indulgent.

    Definitely biscotti. YUM.


    Biscotti? That's baby weaning food in the U.K.
    Biscuits.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscotti

    As in the double-baked Italian pastry meant to be taken with coffee (at least if you're not an Italian), not baby food.

    Lol. Thanks.

    You really weren't all wrong. Biscotti are twice-baked, like zwieback, which is commonly given to teething babies (I've never thought of it as "weaning" food, though, which typically would be soft foods like rice cereal and pureed fruits and veggies, no?).

    ah.... my indulgence is a square (or two) of Lindt 85% Cacao chocolate. The squares are large-ish and I break it into 4 small pieces and it's like bliss, lol

    Have you tried Larabars? They're pretty wholesome. Try cutting it into tiny squares and savoring each piece.

    I agree about Biscotti. A store-bought brand like Nonni's can be a little a 110 cals per cookie. And they're really surprisingly satisfying. You can get one that's dipped in dark chocolate if chocolate is what you crave.

    Biscotti is amazingly satisfying for the calories. Like @Strawblackcat , I like to have one or two really good cookies. Sometimes I mix in some protein powder and that itself is a nice, sweet treat.

    I concur. The biscotti I buy at Costco are dipped in dark chocolate, individually wrapped, and come in at 170 cals. They are perfect with a nice cup of coffee.

    Lol. Guess I should have paid more attention. We said almost the same thing! The Nonni's are the brand I enjoy.

    I'm a big fan of those 'flipable' greek yogurts that have yogurt on one side and the topping on the other.
    'Cinnamon Bun Fun' and 'Smore S'mores' are two of my favorites and come in a little under 200 cal.

    My coffee ritual involves an indulgence that I only every indulge in with my morning cuppa. It changes from week to week - but I don't ever indulge in it outside of that coffee ritual. Whatever you choose - make it special.
