Does anyone have any good chocolate snack ideas around 100 calories that aren't just empty calories?
The chocolate cravings kill me this time of year.... I was eating kashi cookies but they are so expensive.

Two ideas:

1) LF/SF choc pudding. The kind you make at home with skim milk is only 70 cals for 1/2 cup.
2) NF White chocolate & raspberry yogurt and then I throw in about 6 milk choc chips (can't go crazy with the chips!)

I am hoping that others have more ideas because I LOVE chocolate!!

Well, when I need chocolate, I turn to Balance Bars. While they have 210 calories, they have 15 grams of protein, and sometimes, I cut one in half and eat the half with a half an apple for 155 calories as a mid-morning snack. Personally I think the Caramel Blast ones and the Chewy Chocolate Chip are the best. They alway make me feel like I'm cheating on my diet because they are sooo good.

Curves has these amazing granola bars out..peanut chocolate chip..only 100 calories and 4 grams of fibre! Only one pt in ww..whoo hoo!

Try the Vita Top Muffins!!! I love the double choc. and the choc./peanut butter ones. The muffins are only 100 cal, has a lot of fiber, and natural ingredients.
Vitalicious.com is their website

I also like to buy the soy ice cream carob/choc. mint 1/2 cup is only 115 cal and 1.5 g fat. Tonight I had 1/2 cup of that with a Choc. vita top muffin

Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Milk (with a packet of Stevia or Splenda) is very creamy, and yummy!!! 8 oz has only 45 calories!!!

That's all I can think of right now, but I know exactly what you mean, I could live off chocolate!!

My favorite thing to eat when I'm not watching my calorie in take is
Extreme Moose Tracks Ice Cream, the thick fudge that is in there is so sinful!!
My husband eats that and he always says with a spoon stuck in my face, "I saved you a bite of fudge"

O.k. I better stop talking about choc. it's making me crave it!!
Night!!

It's more than 100 calories, but I mix unsweetened dark cocoa into a bowl of oatmeal. I add unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and splenda to taste, and it's an intensely chocolately treat that's guilt-free. Sometimes I add coconut or peppermint extract too, yum!

I go for the straight chocolate fix-Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares (60% cacao). Each square is only 55 cals and they really cure the craving!

I keep dove dark chocolates around for my chocolate fix. I also like bars. Some brands are lower calories than others, i usually just buy what is on sale. I like pudding and chocolate milk or hot chocolate too.

[Thighs Be Gone]

I eat a square or two of dark chocolate (high quality) with 65% cocoa in it when I crave. Some people actually swear by it to help flatten the stomach. Just make sure you are taking your calories out of daily allotment though. Also, I like the Quaker chocolate drizzle rice cakes.

[Extasee58865]

I get chocolate cravings too and have started to eat those Duncin Hynes Mini Delights. they are 150 calories & totally fill my chocolate craving so I don't go ravenous on my 3 yr olds halloween candy! They are really good & super easy to make, kind of expensive @ $2.50 for 2 cakes.

[MonteCristo]

I also go for the small squares of dark chocolate. My preference is the Dove dark chocolate Promise squares. Just 42 calories each, and they are really good.

I buy outrageously expensive dark chocolate and eat a very small quantity when I'm craving chocolate. I figure if it's really expensive I'll eat it very slowly to make it last. I like valrhona dark chocolate with hazelnuts that I get at a specialty store where they sell gourmet stuff. My husband likes to order on the web from chocosphere. They have every gourmet chocolate imaginable. Their website is like chocolate porn. They even have this italian sugar free gourmet chocolate which is really fantastic. I sent some to my (diabetic) stepmother last year for her birthday and she raved about it for months. Super expensive, though, really just a once a year splurge to keep hidden in the cupboard and eat occasionally. A little piece makes me feel like I'm really splurging and being very decadent.

On the other hand, when I'm being bad hershey's kisses, snicker's or M&M's will do just fine, too.

My new favorite snack
Emerald Cocoa Roasted Almonds - actually healthier than regular almonds AND with a light cocoa roasting - for a hint of chocolate flavor
Love these things!
