YORK PEPPERMINT PATTY SIZE FULL

My advice is to stash just a few in your purse or desk drawer rather than a full bag, so you don’t get carried away. Lifesavers and Jolly Ranchers: If you gravitate towards fruity flavors, suck on a Lifesaver (15 calories) or a hard Jolly Rancher (23 calories). One large, individual wrapped fireball has only 35 calories. They’re hard as a rock, so you can’t bite through them (don’t try, you’ll break a tooth!) … and after you finish one flaming sucker, you’ll be ready to give your mouth a rest. I love them all - but I’m biased to vanilla!Ītomic FireBalls: Unlike some addictive sugary candies that you can swallow by the handful, Atomic Fireballs are a great “one and done” candy option. See’s Gourmet Lollypops: From the legendary California-based candy company See’s Candies, these pops are 80 to 90 calories apiece and come in four sophisticated, desserty flavors: vanilla, chocolate, butterscotch, and café latte. Kids will love their 70 percent dark chocolate “Bug Bites” (also 50 calories), which come packaged with fun insect trading cards. Their “Dark Chocolate with Cranberries & Almonds” individually-wrapped chocolate squares have 50 calories and are made with delicious 72 percent dark chocolate. This vegan chocolate bar is speckled with plump raisins and crunchy cacao nibs and loaded with antioxidants.Įndangered Species Chocolates: Endangered Species makes a wide variety of 100% ethically traded, exotic-flavored chocolate bars, but I particularly love their bite-sized selections because they do the portion controlling for you. If you’re not ready for the intense flavor of straight nibs, try their 70 percent dark chocolate yumBar for 180 calories. Sweetriot’s nibs come in three flavors: 50 percent, 65 percent, and 70 percent chocolate - and set you back only 140 calories for an entire tin. Sweetriot: Sweetriot chocolate-covered cacao nibs have quickly become a favorite of celebs… along with the rest of us! Their nibs - or “peaces”, as Sweetriot calls them - deliver dark, rich cocoa flavor and a double dose of antioxidants: one from the cacao nib (a tiny piece of roasted cacao bean at the center of each “peace”) and another from the dark chocolate that coats the outside. These wafer rolls don’t quite meet my “70 percent cocoa” standard, but they’re a delightful splurge every once and awhile. For just 120 calories, you get two crispy wafer cookies completely enrobed in 52 percent dark chocolate.

Their wafer rolls are another fun treat for chocoholics of all ages. Q.bel: Q.bel’s Double Dark Wafer Bars (made with 70 percent dark Belgian chocolate) are a delicious cross between a cookie and a candy bar and a package of two bars has 180 calories. If you’re not in the mood for plain dark chocolate, here are some fun twists on the standard bar. The chocolates are packaged in a cute round metal tin, so you can pop out a wedge and conveniently store the rest for later. Trader Joe’s “70 percent Belgian Cacao” Dark Chocolate Wedges: This 3.5-ounce wheel of chocolate is cut into 16 small wedges, perfectly portioned at just 35 calories per piece. Newman’s Own Organics Super Dark 70 percent Cocoa Chocolate Bar: Another delicious pure dark chocolate bar! Look for the 2.25-ounce size and enjoy half the bar (3 squares) for a modest 165 calories. If you’re looking for an even smaller bite, try their 70 percent dark chocolate “Tasting Squares”, which are slightly larger than a postage stamp and have less than 25 calories per piece.

Scharffen Berger 70 percent Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Bars: Like Lindt, Scharffen Berger offers a personal-sized (1 ounce) bar so you can get your chocolate fix without overindulging. and don’t need to rely on your willpower to break off only a few squares of the larger bar. That way, you can guiltlessly enjoy the whole 170-calorie bar in one sitting. Lindt Excellence 70 percent Cocoa Bar: Though Lindt also offers their “70 percent Cocoa” bar in a 3.5-ounce size, I prefer the small 1.2-ounce package.
