Having a craving for chocolate and crunchy can be hard to fit into your plan. I bought dark cocoa covered almonds at Target - not the creamy chocolate but powdered cocoa. It satisfied my longing for the chocolate flavor without adding fat. And we all know almonds are good for us. Just be careful how many you eat!
