Some low calorie, relatively nutritious foods that deliver chocolate flavor are Fudgsicles (regular or sugar-free), chocolate sorbet, Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, bars,and cones, fat-free hot cocoa and fat-free ready-to-eat chocolate pudding (regular or sugar-free), Deep Chocolate VitaMuffins, or a bit of Nutella, chocolate hazelnut spread, on toast.  Carob powder is a low-fat naturally sweet alternative to cocoa, but candy made from carob is high in fat and calories.  In addition, you can always justify eating dark chocolate because it contains antioxidants that protect cell membranes.
