Ok, today my sweet tooth took over!!!!

It was just one of those days..............too much work, too little time and major PMS
(sorry guys, at least i took it out on the left-over chocolate easter bunny!!!)

Anyways, any suggestions for lo-cal chocolate snacks?

    To be honest with you I dont really think is a such thang as low calorie chocolate sweets. I just cut candy out my life period. But if you must, eat in moderation and workout afterwards.

    no offense

    but coolwhip is TOTAL CRAP for your body

    if your gonna eat chocolate,,,eat it.

    .the real thing is heaven

    just earn it with exercise and it tastes even better without the guilt

    fudgsicles are the bomb! I get the regular ones that are 100 calories and zero fat for a big sized one ( I could go sugar free but I dont like to use too much artificial sweetener)

    I budget one of these in my calories every single day in the morning, as my evening snack. I dont always eat it, but I always budget for it so IF i get a chocolate craving i have room. I probably eat one twice a week on average. satisfies the chocolate cravings, and the ice cream cravings as well.

    How about a chocolate flavored protein shake? Blend a half scoop of chocolate protein with a half-cup of your favorite low-fat milk, a half-cup of cold water, half a banana, and a half cup of ice. You'll get a very rich, creamy, sweet, and nutritious chocolate shake for 150 calories. Just replace one of your snacks with it or go out for a walk afterward.

    I agree with this... last week was a very stressful week for me - my mother had surgery and we had lots of people in and out. Everyone decided on Cold Stone Creamery one night and I was "good" - I had the sinless cake batter ice cream. It was good - but not what I would "normally" order. I craved something else for days. Later in the week we all went back and I ordered a dark chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups... it was WORTH the calories because I REALLY wanted it - and it satisfied me. I think you just have to start looking at "treats" for what they are... an occasional thing. If you want chocolate EAT chocolate - just watch your portions and make it work into your program.

    Hershey makes individual wrapped chocolate squares. I get the Dark Chocolate. 4 squares is 180 calories but I usually can get by with 1 or 2. Dark chocolate is supposed to be better for you. I agree though, if you are gonna do it, get the real stuff and budget your calories for it. SF Jello is good though.

    Just purchased a "Think Thin" Creamy Peanut Butter high protein bar. It is 240 calories which is a lot but 20 grams of protein.

    I put it in freezer and just took little bites from time to time, very very good and healthy in comparison to a chocolate bar.

    Just found this link on Ebay for a different kind (I am in no way affiliated):
