Use these tips to make your own low fat chocolate

•      Develop a taste for dark chocolate. Since dark chocolate has no milk products in it dark chocolate hast the lowest fat content of the different kinds of chocolate.

•      Substitute bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate for milk chocolate.  The less milk and cocoa butter that the chocolate has the lower the fat content will be

•      Don’t add extras to your chocolate. If you must add something to the chocolate make it some chopped nuts that are good for your heart or raisins which are healthier and lower in fat then adding things like candy pieces or peanut butter chips.

•      Use a chocolate coating instead of chocolate.  If you are craving a sweet dessert but really want to keep your fat intake low make a low fat chocolate dipping sauce from some semi-sweet or dark chocolate and then just lightly coat some fresh fruit, a granola bar, or some other low fat, healthy snack with the chocolate. That way you’ll still get a chocolate fix but you won’t be eating a lot of fat to get it.

•      Make some low fat hot chocolate instead of candy.  Make some low fat hot chocolate using dark chocolate and enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate instead of making brownies or another type of high fat dessert.

•      These are just some simple ways that you can still have chocolate treats without worrying about ruining your diet or going overboard on your fat intake. If you have kids and you’re concerned by how much fat your kids eat just substituting some low fat chocolate instead of regular chocolate in cookies, brownies, and chocolate milk can make a big difference in how much fat your kids are eating every day.

I heard there is a homemade recipe for chocolate syrup that does not have high fructose corn syrup in it ( which I guess is really bad for you)...trying to eat healthy for the New Year.

Does anyone have the recipe???

Oh, this really made me feel the urge for chocolate! Smiley But as I'm on a low carb diet, I can't really indulge.
Your tips are great for folks on a low fat diet, but will it also work for me who's on low carb?

Hahaha, the dark chocolate has the HIGHEST fat content, as is has a lot of coconut butter in it, but it is actually good fat, so not to worry. Moderation and quality are still kings, not stuffing yourself with tons of fat free products.
