Maybe it is just me, but if I buy a large Hershey's chocolate, I end up eating the whole thing. I always tell myself to save some but never do. Just found a solution that works for me. I found Hershey chocolate nuggets. I have found I can leave the bag in the refrigerator, take one out, unwrap it and eat it without going back for more. The act of having to unwrap them individually makes me thing twice about eating more than one. Not sure if this will help anyone else, but thought I'd share in case it does.

    I've read about studies that show that people eat less if the candies are individually wrapped! Good on ya. These have been around for a while, but they're pretty good. I also enjoy the snack sized Reese's eggs and pumpkins.

    Yep. I do this with the Organic Ocho from Costco. http://www.ochocandy.com/product-category/pouches/

    They are cheap at Costco and come 3 flavors to a bag. So worth it for the little chocolate treat and so much easier to walk away from!

    They obviously haven't seen me around a box of Cadbury's Roses or Quality Street at Christmas :lol:

    Haha! That's an average, @tinkerbellang83, and doesn't account for holiday snack hurricanes. ;)

    Not everyone. I can easily eat a bag of Kisses in 2-3 days. Ghirardelli, though, I can limit myself to 2-3 squares.

    I surprised myself with discovering that I could have 1 of those mini chocolate candies and survive. Then I further surprised myself with discovering that I didn't need any of them to thrive. Freaky.

    I buy dove dark chocolate candies, the individually wrapped ones. I eat 2 every night. I like Hershey's but didn't see the individually wrapped ones

    I do like the individually wrapped items. Anything to slow me down long enough to consider the consequences of eating them :wink:

    Those mini Hershey's kisses from the baking aisle are quite difficult for me. No wrappers to slow me down.

    I find Hershey's inedible as chocolate, I just don't get it, it tastes waxy to me. Those ghirardelli bars and squares though, oof, yes please. And if I'm home visiting the UK, I better be careful. Second the Roses/Quality Street vote.

    I think as Europeans we might be a little spoiled when it comes to chocolate :smile: I also don't get the Hershey's thing, I'm drawn to Lindt, Milka and the like. My husband likes it, so it may have to do with what you were exposed to growing up.

    I'm glad that you found a solution that seems to be working for you--a bit of chocolate is a perfect treat.

    Although I'm with the poster above--Hershey's chocolate has really taken a turn for the worse--it's so waxy now! I prefer the Vahlrona discs from Whole Foods for my chocolate fix!

    I was back in the UK a couple of weeks ago. Came home with 15 Double Deckers plus an assortment of Picnics, Topics, Bountys, etc etc.....

    One of my happiest moments was when I found out that BJs sell Quality Street in the run up to Christmas.
