On the MFP blog within this app there is a excellent recipe for sweet potato brownies. I am telling you, awesome. High protein, very low sugar.1

My protein supplements are all chocolate favored. This has helped me SO MUCH in the chocolate craving area of my life.. and trust me I'm a huge chocolate lover.0

um. ok. that's nice, but not particularly helpful. Of course you can just eat whatever you want and log the calories.
I'm trying to figure out way to eat MORE, or better, without adding extra calories.
oh come on
more chocolate WITHOUT more calories is literally the point of this thread. I don't see how you don't get this.9 -
Chocolate frozen yogurt? Fruit with a little chocolate dip? A tablespoon of Hershey's cocoa powder mixed with vanilla Greek yogurt? I think one or all of those would work!1

1 square of 86% dark chocolate after dinner. 60 cals. Very satisfying. Get the individually wrapped squares by Ghiardelli if your store has them. It discourages you from eating extras.6

Zucchini brownies are also good.
Cocoa dusted almonds are great too.1 -
I do not have a huge sweet tooth myself. I would much prefer french fries or chicken tenders to sweets, but when I get an inkling I find that the company Skinny Cow has the best wares for chocolate from a bang for your calorie buck perspective.
Of their candy bars, I like the milk chocolate cream. It's 110 calories and tastes pretty much just as good as a legit candy bar. They also have caramel filled candies called divines that are low calorie and bring the goods as far as taste. Of their ice cream, while not my personal favorite they have an ice cream sandwich typed bar called 'always chocolate' that I am guessing would be your jam. They also have a chocolate truffle bar on a stick I am betting you could get into as well.
Skinny Cow is a tad pricey in my opinion, but most "diet" food is.

I'm going to follow this thread because it's getting interesting. "more chocolate without more calories" sounds like nirvana. When someone has an answer I'm all over that s***.4

Cocoa is pure chocolate with some of the fat removed. So this chocolate purist uses a lot of cocoa.

When I have hardly any calories left I have one or two Dove dark chocolate promises. They are 40 cals each and are really rich when you let them melt in your mouth a little. Or Jello pudding cups.
If I have a few more cals, I could go Halo Top or chocolate chips mixed in ricotta cheese, or Yasso frozen yogurt bars.4 -

drinking chocolate just isn't quite the same unfortunately.

This is my solution too. I can share a super dark Ghirardelli bar with my husband and make it last 5-7 days. A huge bag of fun size Kit Kats would be gone in 48 hours

I like Lindt 85% dark chocolate, shaved, on top of a latte made with almond milk and cinnamon. Just half a square, finely shaved, floated on top of the foam. Less than 50 calories and feels really decadent.5

Another vote for Yasso fro yo bars. Comes in chocolate fudge.0

Mix it with plain greek yogurt for "pudding." Quest chocolate milkshake flavor is pretty good like this.
Seconded.0 -
In South Africa we have a product called Milky Mix Drinking Chocolate. Perhaps you have an equivalent over there?
Its very low calorie and very tasty. I use it with almond milk to drink or I make chocolate mugg cakes with it. Also chocolate ice cream but I suspect you are going into winter so ice cream is out.
If you do want the icecream recipe it's at https://counterfoodieblog.wordpress.com/2017/08/28/protein-ice-cream/0 -
One thing I have found that helps when I'm craving certain things (chocolate, cheese, etc), is to eat a small amount of something high quality and flavorful. I don't get cheap chocolate bars, I get more expensive, fancier chocolate. I get quality cheese (like a really sharp cheddar). When something is rich and full of flavor, my craving gets satisfied a lot quicker than eating something cheap.3

I think that was the point of the OP - what do we eat to replace a certain food that they don't have control around (like me and m&m's) - you're right I could log them but stopping is the problem but you just want something to fill the gap - something similar but not so similar you will lose control.0 -
