My husband has remained 150 pounds for the last 18 yrs, and sometimes it gets very hard to see him eat something I cant, and chocolate is one of them, chocolate I can chew! Hes no longer alowed to eat burger king burgers in the car with me along, that was torture. I wish there was a veggie that tasted like choc, my dream come true.
LOL.......they say Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with......how about cooking it with cocoa and Splenda? I guess I'm not so sensitive about sugar. What about a power crunch protein bar coated in chocolate type stuff? They aren't too bad.
