10 guilt-free ways to get your chocolate fix

What's your biggest temptation when you're on a diet? I bet a large percentage of you answered chocolate. It's one of those things that's hard to resist. But some days you just need to treat yourself, and if today is one of those days, instead of bingeing on that big box of chocolate that your mother-in-law gave you for Christmas five years ago, try to stick to one of these guilt-free indulgences from Glee Magazine:

4 Hershey's Kisses (100 calories)
1 cup diet hot cocoa and 1 chocolate graham cracker (80 calories)
1 JELL-O fat-free chocolate pudding snack (100 calories)
1 Quaker Chocolate Crunch popcorn cake (60 calories)
1 cup strawberries drizzled with1 Tbsp. fat-free hot fudge (100 calories)
1/2 cup fat-free chocolate frozen yogurt (100 calories)
20 chocolate-covered raisins (80 calories)
1/2 cup General Mills Cocoa Puffs cereal (60 calories)
2 Snackwell's Devil's Food Cookie Cakes (100 calories)
2 bite-size York Peppermint Patties (100 calories)

For me, I find a cup of chocolate soy mile does the trick too. What about you?

I think this is a great list that you've compiled! I always try to fit in something sweet if I'm watching my foods. That sweet fix isn't always chocolate though.

May I add that most of the JELL-O fat-free cups are low in calories and oh-so wonderfully sweet. :]

Also, eating a few Sugar Free SweetHearts are a nice choice. The Sugar Free Ones, believe it or not, are way better than the oringinal. They are hard to find when it's not Valentine's Day, but try them, and stock up!

Great list but I'm surprised you didn't include dark chocolate - I like the sugar free kind. It's supposed to be good for you too. And I'd add those 100 calorie packs of cookies. They make a good sweet treat and you don't have to contend with the rest of a regular bag.

I just bought hershey's 100 calorie dark chocoate bars. they are actually quite big and taste delicious, especially if you store them in the freezer

None of the stuff listed here is good for you, it is all processed and made in a factory. If you want chocolate eat all natural chocolate, at least it isn't filled with unhealthy preservatives.
