I'd like to find some chocolate snack that isn't totally bad for you to eat.  Just so we can have some chocolate but not something so horrible to have a little snack on. Do you know of any?

Planters Cocoa Almonds?

[Laura14]

When I need a chocolate hit, I use unsweetened baking cocoa and throw it in a smoothie to make a chocolate milk shake.   Banana, unsweetened almond milk, teaspoon of cocoa.  I also usually throw in spinach.  Quick easy and the cocoa powder is 10 calories with the whole thing being about 125 calories.  

Or the latest thing I have created is chocolate peanut butter ice cream.  It's frozen bananas, a teaspoon of the cocoa baking powder and a tablespoon of natural peanut butter with a splash of almond milk.  You can leave out the peanut butter to really cut down the calories and just do chocolate if you want.  Highly recommend.  I made it like five times last week.

IMO there is nothing like a plain Hershey bar. I like the bag of miniatures and portion them out. The special dark is my favorite.

I purchase the snack size chocolate bars - the Hershey minis I think they're called.  One of these is very satisfying for me if I need a chocolate fix during the day or after a meal.

Dole Pineapple snacks, chocalote dipped pineapple tidbits

Lindt a touch of sea salt dark chocolate bar. A few squares takes off the edge of me wanting chocolate, and the dark has good-for-you antioxidants.

The banana is pretty darn tasty too. They are in the frozen section.

Exactly what I needed so thanks to all of you.  We shop tomorrow, and I've not had any real chocolate type of stuff in so long, I don't know what to go after.  I'll look tomorrow!!!
