Dark choclate is fairly healthy, and I also normally eat sugar free chocolate. It tastes the same, without the sugar.

No no no no no no.!!!!!!

The healthiest replacement is a Ben and Jerry's product, yes... but... It has to be Cherry Garcia... big chunks of dark chocolate with cherries, hmmmm...

If you must, you can get Cherry Garcia as Frozen Yogurt.

Cherry Garcia is one of the top 5 that is for sure. But you gotta try that Karamel Sutra..it has goopy swirls of caramel thru out too. And with Cherry Garcia..you not only hit your milk supplement quota..but fruit as well. I recommend this product!

You can't replace chocolate. You can only eliminate it from your diet and start eating carrot sticks, celery, and sprouts if you want healthy.

Good luck.

a little dark chocolate everyday is very good for you. i wouldn't switch to ice cream. eating ice cream on a regular basis will pack on the pounds faster than anything else in this world...

I'll just echo dark chocolate in moderation is ok for you. I would rather eat broccoli than dark chocolate though so that doesn't help me.

When you cut out the sucrose in your diet, the fructose in fruits tastes soooooo much better. So fruits = Yummy. I just had a couple dates...how much more sweet do you need?

One of the most popular substitutes is Carob. I just completed a book (could call it a journal) that's all about living a healthy lifestyle (I don't ever like to refer to it as a diet). The following three things actually perpetuates the cycle of addiction because it effects the neurotransmitters in what is known as the "reward" pathway of the brain in just the same manner as alcohol and drugs can do: Sugar, Caffeine, and Nicotine.

Eat, Drink and be Healthy!!!

Scuze me Ghostly...Everything in moderation is the key. If you deprive me of ice cream it will just make me want it more and then I will lose all control. And we don't want that..no...

Me too MsCooter, ice cream is the ultimate indulgence. Love it.
Although...I have tried the new Doritos Pizza flavor and they are just awesome.
Depends on what you have a 'craving' for.
