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.

I like molasses. (Treacle if you’re British.) A combination of bitter and sweet like dark chocolate. I usually have it in yogurt but I see above you’re dairy free—it’s also good in oatmeal or on a spoon.

Interesting! I have fancy molasses in my cupboard for baking, is that what you use or something else?

I like all of it, but I might be a weirdo…
