Lots of sugar free chocolate!!!
Your chocolate craving may be caused by several different causes . One you may be craving caffeine. Two there may be a mineral deficiency. Main ingredient in chocolate is cocoa aka cacao. Either way you pronounce it its high in Theobromine. This is a CNS Stimulant. Does your mood lift any when eating chocolate It may be emotional eating . BTW Dark chocolate is loaded with anti-oxidants. "Crazy Chocolate cravings" Unsure what precisely that means. Please explain. Thanks.

Sugar Sense is a great app!!
Watch out for "Sugar Free" most sugar free candies have almost the same carbs as the regular sugar candies.
My caramel treats are 5 gr of sugar and the "sugar free" are 4 gr of carbs :0)
why? They use a starch (carb) as a thickener to make up for the loss of sugar.
Be careful of the sugar free chocolate/candies, they contain a sweetener (forgot the name, aspertame?)that can be very harsh to the stomach. I found that fruit (as you know, the recommended serving) works for my sweet tooth.
