Hey friends, I'm having one of those spells lately where, as soon as 9pm hits I'm dreaming of bathing in a sea of chocolate, and just HAVE to find something chocolate based before I sleep. So this inspired me to look up some chocolatey treats that won't break the syn bank.

Having scoured forum after forum, I must say Iwas pleasantly surprised to find that there are plenty of choices out there. Here are 5 of them which I feel will satisfy a chocolate craving most completely and without too much of a "still hungry,need more!" vibe.

1. Options / Cadbury HighlightsHot Chocolate (2) , topped with 10 mini marshmallows (1) Total:3 syns

This is my number 1 choice for a reason. It's not something you just hoover up in a split second (I'm looking at you, Maltesers) It's a slow sipper, pure indulgence ... and then the marshmallows get all gooey and UGH, just delish. Also, how comforting to drink! Invest in a big ol' mug, and a jar of this heaven and get stuck in.

2. Muller Light Goodies - Smooth Toffee Flavour:2.5 syns

I tried this for the first time this week. Since the usual Muller corners were so high in syns, I was pretty excited to see that this low syn alternativewere out! These really feel like a desert. Not as creamy or as chocolatey as the muller corner, but definitely enough to stifle a craving. There are other flavours too, it'd be a crime not to try em all!

3. Chocolate Orange Mousse: 1syn

This is a spin on the chocolate mousse recipe from the slimming world website, which you can find here:

Per serving ingredients:

  • 20g of quark
  • 100g fat free natural fromage frais
  • 1 tbsp sweetener
  • 1/2 sachet Cadbury Highlights
  • Rind of an orange
  • 1 drop of orange essence

ALTERNATIVE to orange essence:
Add ateaspoonof Choc Shot Orange Spicefor 1 extrasyn.

Instructions:Mix the above ingredients in a bowl, pour mixture into a glass and pop in the fridge to chill. Leave it as long as desired (at least an hour) andenjoy!

4. Mini Milk Chocolate Lollipops: 4.5 syns

Apparently it is Summer. Did you know? If you get a rare sunny day and you're dreaming about a Magnum, this just might be the second best alternative. Mini milks have a special place in my heart since childhood, and these are a surprisingly chocolatey treat.

5. Chocolate Mug Cake (1) and Alpro Chocolate Soya topping (2): 3 syns in total

There are quite a few slimming world friendly chocolate cakes out there, this one is super quick to make in the microwave with only a couple of ingredients.

My recipe was 2tbsp raw cacao powder, tbsp sweetener, 2 egg whites, chopped apple and a dash of unsweetened almond milk. Whisk in a cup and microwave for 1m 15 seconds.

Then top with dark chocolate alpro soya yoghurt, 2 syns.
