    Peppermint Pattie - small is 50 calories, large is 140 - the mint signals the end of eating for me. I certainly don't want to follow it with anything other than water.

    I buy the big blockes of Whittakers dark ghana peppermint & i have it in small serves in the freezer. I find the dark choc satisfies my craving & as it is frozen it takes a bit longer to eat too.

    Dove dark chocolate promises (squares). 42 calories a pop. Once you make the switch to dark chocolate, milk chocolate will taste like cheap half-arsed crap. Dark is INFINITELY more satisfying than milk chocolate where the Pringles slogan applies.

    HERE'S THE KICKER THOUGH: I freeze the whole bag of Dove. When I have a piece, I just suck on it like hard candy. It takes awhile to get up to melting temperature and as long as you refrain from chewing it, 1-2 pieces that way will STOP a chocolate craving right in it's tracks!

    I recently discovered "Adora" calcium supplement (comes in milk or dark chocolate - dark is best).

    Only 30 calories per piece, has 500 mg calcium, with some Vitamin D3 and Magnesium, too.

    Gluten free, no corn syrup, no trans fats.

    Sugar is the second ingredient listed, so I still consider this in the "candy bar" category, but it tastes very good, has some healthy things in it and it tastes good enough to satisfy the chocolate craving after dinner.

    Enjoy!

    I agree with the Skinny Cow love.

    If I need real chocolate though, I always freeze it as it seems to last longer in the mouth. Plus the kids can't find it. Double win for me.

    Vitamuffins! The chocolate one's taste like a yummy piece of chocolate cake. I keep them frozen and then heat in the microwave 20-30 seconds and it's heavenly :)

    I like those Warm Delights Mini Molten Chocolate Cakes. They are only 150 cals and fulfill my cravings.
    I also like nutella and the suggested glass of chocolate milk. Sometimes I will have a Jr. Frosty :)

    I don't know if anyone has put this because I didn't have time to read through all the posts, but Cadbury do a low fat chocolate mousse which is only 60 cals and is so rich it's like eating the real thing. I also find nibbling a small bar, like out of celebrations, and letting it melt rather than chew, helps with my fix

    Hope you find something satisfying.

    may sound weird but I recently tried nutella its amazing I put it on a whole grain thin sliced bagel it is amazing

    Nutella is delish!

    I just bought my first jar of Nutella a few weeks ago. It tastes very similar to the Ferrero Rocher chocolates (same company makes both products). Actually, I wonder if that chocolate filling in there is Nutella.

    I like to spread half a serving (100 calories) on a whole grain waffle (75 calories). So its about 175 calories and a pretty decent size snack.

    I do the same thing with natural peanut butter sometimes too.

    If you make rice crispy cakes with nutella it doesn't taste a million miles off Ferrero Rocher at all, just minus the nut, but you could add that in too I suppose

    I eat chocolate every day, but my favorite quick and cheap fix is:

    Everyday Chocolate Shake
    1/2 cup almond milk, unsweetened
    1 tablespoon Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 tablespoon Trader Joe's peanut butter
    1 frozen banana
    ice
    ----
    167 calories, but most of them are from the banana and you're getting a fruit, dairy and protein!

    I blend that all together in my Magic Bullet and it handles my chocolate AND ice cream cravings. Other favorites: VitaTops "Deep Chocolate" muffins and raw chocolate brownies: http://www.greensmoothie.com/blend/choc.php
