[wussypuff]

well, i was just about to come on here and complain about my terrible chocolate cravings!!!! and then the whoosh fairy flew by and now i feel a bit insignificant in the chocolate category...hmm...well, i figure i may as well bring it up anyway *L* besides russel stover *which is WONDERFUL* anyone know some more options for serious chocolate cravings?? i went into the recipe forum but everything takes so long to make, and i'm a terrible cook...i've tried some recipes out of a low carb book that i got and they're god awful!!! *L* i almost sunk so low as to eat a peanut butter cup but not swallow it, just wallow in taste *oy* OH, and my lemonade pops have only trace amount of carbs per serving *yay* so no worries!!! :)

Chocolate Mousse

2 small containers of whipping cream
1- 8 oz cream cheese ROOM TEMP
2 teaspoons of SUGAR FREE peanut butter
Splenda
2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

and if you want to add a little twist to it…a couple a drops of almond extract! LOVE THIS!


Whip cream till it peaks in a GLASS BOWL {very important} add splenda to taste {keep a count so you can figure carbs} whip some more.
Add cocoa vanilla and peanut butter…whip again
Add Cream cheese a little at a time as you whip.
Put in fridge…of freezer if in a hurry! Hee hee!

Note:
Peanut butter really gives it a good flavor…I’m not much of a peanut butter fan…but its GREAT IN THIS!
Good luck and try it as pop sickles too! MMMmmmmm

these are a couple of reeeeeeal faaaast recipes. all you need is a microwave!:D

Here is something that I have tried and is actually pretty good. You can buy semi-sweet chocolate chips and they have 10 carbs for 30, but if you only eat 15, then it is only 5 carbs, then you get peanut butter and eat the two together. The key is moderation. One spoonful.

Another trick that I try is cream cheese softened in the microwave for about 10 seconds. I then put a pack of Equal on it and melt a couple of chocolate chip morsels in it. It is very good!!!!

I had a major chocolate craving today and needed something fast. My daughter has some fundraising chocolate bars to sell and I knew if I didn't do something I would eat one of those.
I beat up some cream, approx 1/4 cup, added a teaspoon of cocoa and a little splenda. It isn't fancy but it killed those cravings big time.
