I tried the bars back on my first round of atkins, and Russell Stover's and everything else out there.
I get chocolate cravings sometimes. Usually around the end of the month. I've splurged and bought Droste unsweetened cocoa. It's almost 3 times more expensive than the others but worth it to me and a box lasts forever. It's head and shoulders above Hersheys, which I can't stand anymore.
If I want something decadent, I take a level tablespoon of the Droste cocoa and mix it with 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream & a packet of splenda (packet if I use 3 tablespoons, little less if I use 2 - your mileage may vary on sweetening though). I stir it in a bowl and let it sit for a couple minutes because even when I use 3 tablespoons of cream it thickens up pretty well.
I drop little blobs on wax paper and put in the freezer. To me, my Droste blobs taste 10 times better than any low carb chocolate I ever tried before. I've tried this with Hersheys and to me it tastes rancid.. but Droste.. heaven
BTW, it tastes great just eating it out of the bowl too, it's so thick and rich, but I have a harder time with portion control when I do it that way.. the other way I can just grab a couple blobs

but NEVER those jellybeans! lol. Interesting about the stall-laxative effect link, though.
