Omg I know what you mean! Im so in love with sugar its ridiculous. For me, if I drink tea/coffee that curbs my cravings for sugar. But if you're dying for chocolate, have a couple pieces of Dove dark choc.. it hits the spot.

I love Green & Black's organic chocolate bars (the milk chocolate w/ almonds & the 70% dark chocolate are great). They're not low-calorie, but one "serving" is 240, and it's pretty generous. So, I usually will have 1/2 serving at night with a cup of espresso. It tastes SO good!
I think it's important to allow ourselves some small indulgences. It prevents the feeling of deprivation.

Friend, if you want to have chocolate, by all means have it. A bite or a piece, just not 10 boxes hehe. Everything in moderation

Yeah, my "I want chocolate!" is quickly soothed by 70% bittersweet with 30% hazelnuts. A square of it is about 100 calories, and that's about a bite or two past "ahhh, just right", so I'm working on not feeling obliged to finish that last bit.

If I have a hankering for chocolate, I'll sometimes have a Fiber One bar.
If I really want some good quality chocolate though, I go for it and have a Godiva Truffle (yes, just one) If you're going to have chocolate, you might as well have the good stuff, right?

I have two current faves, chocolate wise...
1. Milk with unsweetened cocoa and some splenda. The chocolate milk it produces is FANTASTIC.
2. Nuke 2 sugar free fudgicles for 15 seconds, take them off the stick, mix with 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter and 1-2 tbsp fat free cool whip. You can mess around with the amounts a little, depending on how much you want to "spend," but OMG. ITS SO GOOD. And it really helps with the choco/peanut butter craving. (i got this one from the south beach phase 1 dessert forum, and there's also another really good one over there called warm "brownie." yum.)

The only Franken food I eat are the Jello Dark Chocolate Pudding cups in the refrigerated section of the market (60 Cals), also their Chocolate Mousse Cups are great - I forgot what they call them, but I think their by Jello also. Just enough to take the edge off.
Other than that, I'll just have a couple of Hershey Kisses or something small.

You can get some low calorie fudge bars. I buy the ones that are 100 calories or less. So good. It makes me feel like I am really getting a treat.
I also ditto the Fiber One bars. The chocolate chip ones are so yummy!
