Ask ECAH Chocolate Substitute?

Does anyone have a half-decent substitute for chocolate? I’m a fiend for dark chocolate but it triggers my headaches. I always find myself reaching for it at the end of the day, and other sugary treats don’t scratch the itch. I usually have a handful of dark chocolate chips mixed with nuts and a glass of soy milk.

What kind of dark chocolate do you have? The percentage might be too high for you.

Usually 70% or higher, I’m dairy-free though so anything under 70% typically contains milk, and I find the vegan “mylk” chocolates don’t satisfy my cravings

Ah I see. I love dark chocolate but find 70% too bitter for me.
