    Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate. I drink a shake made with this, soy milk, yogurt, and peanut butter whenever I need chocolate.

    Another thing I do is brownies/cookies made with black beans....

    Brownie mix + black beans + bake as directed = yummy
    Chocolate cake mix + black beans + milk to smooth + drop cookies onto pan and bake 13 to 14 minutes

    And sometimes..... I eat a piece of chocolate. Hershey's, Dove, Reese's. Whatever I am in the mood for at that moment.


    never heard of this before. sounds good

    I love chocolate, but i dont usually crave it. Normally, once in 3 month i have a huge craving. Well you ask what do i do with it? That day I eat all the chocolate i want. Usually I just buy a baggie of Lindor truffles and eat them all in one sitting. Craving satisfied. I know that sounds like a weird thing, but thats what my body asks for, i provide and it doesnt ask me for chocolate for a while!=)
    Same here. If I want chocolate (every week or so), then it shall be done. Haven't had any problems losing the weight at a good pace, either. Win win!

    two words for you...SKINNY COW! They have snacks and ice cream treats. Most are about 100-150 calories. Totally worth it!! Haven't tried a Skinny Cow treat that I didn't like

    You don't have to give up chocolate.....You can still have it but just use portion control :wink:

    When I have the chocolate cravings I sometimes have Reese's - Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures, 1 pieces - 44 calories or Dove dark chocolate promises, 1 pieces - 42 calories.

    I never used to like dark chocolate and was always a milk chocolate fan but when I heard that dark chocolate was better for you, I decided to try it and believe it or not, I like it better than milk chocolate now :noway:

    I have some fiber plus bars and some protein bars that are chocolate. I have made those into my "Candy and Chocolate" fix

    Try a cup of hot chocolate. Is like 70-80 calories, gives you the chocolate fix, plus the warm temp fills you up.

    Sugar-free Fudgesicles - 35 calories per pop and very rich-tasting. They're made with Splenda and I can't taste much of a difference between them and regular Fudgesicles.

    Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream bar -
    100 calories - 3 grams of fiber and 20% of your daily calcium. And it's absolutely delicious with zero artificial sweeteners.

    Highly processed - Yes
    Damn delicious - Yes

    I am in agreement on ANYTHING Skinny Cow. They even have those tiny ice cream cups which feel indulgent.

    Also, I get dark chocolate at Trader Joe's. It has way less sugar than milk chocolate and the flavor is so rich that I only need 1 square or less to satisfy.

    But If you're going to processed route, which, let's face it, we all need, SKINNY COW ALL THE WAY!

    I find it hard to pig out on super dark chocolate, so that's something I CAN keep in the house and nibble on a square every once in a while. Maybe that would work for you?

    Yep, this works for me too.

    I keep the fun size candy bars (70-80 calories each) on hand, they usually come in a 6 or 8 pk, and when I want chocolate, I eat one or two of them. I have always stayed under my goal, and I am still losing weight. I believe in allowing myself those little things, or I will end up binging. I don't want to binge. I would much rather give into my cravings, as long as I stay under my goal.

    I make a delicious and healthy shake: ice, banana, coconut milk, cocoa powder (unsweetened), and either dates or honey to sweeten it. So good!

    I drink Shakeology or make 'no bake shakeology cookies' or black bean brownies. I have had the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches but they have high fructose corn syrup in them so I avoid them most of the time. I do like the Fiber One bars-but the brownies someone mentioned sound good too!

    It's expensive, but you can buy Xocai healthy chocolates. They have no milk or sugar. They are full of nutrients and are known to actually reduce hunger cravings. I love Xocai!

    I used to be a chocoholic but now I don't eat any. I refuse to have it in the house. If it's there I know I won't be able to resist it. For snacks I have fruit, museli bars, the occasional Vegemite & cheese sandwich, low fat yogurt & stuff like that.
