Need some suggestions for chocolate substitutes

[Zoo Keeper]

When you are having a chocolate craving, what do you have instead of that Hershey bar?

Thanks again everyone!

A Sugar Free Hershey bar (available at lots of stores including Walgreens)!

I go for the "sugar free' chocolate (diabetic) but let me tell you, don't over indulge! Some ingredient they use in the sugar free chocolate can cause mega stomach problems (it's almost like
eX-Lax!) Gurggling, grumbling, growling...eat too much and you definitely need to be by yourself!

Sugar-free Fudgesicles!

Or a Hershey's Kiss. Just one.

Sue, I can't remember your program, but if you are doing Atkins my treat will not work as it has too many carbs. If you are doing WW, or just trying to limit calories/fat, this treat is great. My absolute favorite thing to eat when I have a chocolate craving is "Miss Meringue" bite size chocolate raspberry meringue cookies! I love these things! 13 pieces are only 80 calories and have 0 fat. They do have 20 grams of carbs, so not so good if you are watching your carb intake. I also like the regular size meringues that are mint chocolate chip. You can check out the website at www.missmeringue.com. I get them at my local Target store.

I gotta agree with off2disney - the chocolate substitute that I cannot tolerate is maltitol. I have to read the label on every bar that I buy, so that I won't buy ANY with that ingredeint. On the other hand, I bought a little bucket of the Hershey's SF miniatures (that contain maltitol) & I can apparantly have ONE no more than once a day!
There are low-carb recipes that use cocoa - you just end up using Splenda instead of sugar.

tootsie rolls, sweet rewards bars chocolate pudding or fudsicles are all great!!!

Swiss Miss 'diet' Hot Chocolate should be good for anyone on WW or Atkins! I'm doing Atkins --- so I like to add a little bit of heavy cream to it for an extra treat.

I like the "Old Fashion" brand of chocolate yogurt. I swear it'll fool your taste bud's to thinking your having a nice ice cream cone! Love those. My dh finds it at Kroger's in the clear plastic tubs. For a smaller attack i do maybe two three toostie rolls. If i'm just have a really tiny craving 1 kiss please.LOL

I like the Sugar Free Hershey's, but unfortunately any of the Sugar Free candy, doesn't agree with me!! It makes me incredibly sick, so I stay away from it now! Carbolite especially is the worst for me!

The SF Hershey candy sounds good. Does anyone know the calories, fat and fiber (or just the points)?

Thanks for the suggestions---I think I'll have a tootsie roll (or 2)
