Chocolate that doesn’t have any calories? I know it sounds too good to be true. Well, it’s only half-true. There are ways to get that chocolate fix to tide you over until you can get some in your mouth. Or maybe you just need a taste without the calories to get you over the chocolate urge and stick to your diet.
Here are a few of the things that I found. I hope they help some of us chocoholics.
Le Whif is a chocolate inhaler that you take in by mouth. You taste a very small amount of fine chocolate powder. Because the amount is so miniscule, you take in less than one calorie and get your chocolate fix. It even comes in different chocolate flavours: mint chocolate, raspberry chocolate, mango chocolate, and plain chocolate.
Check them out at the All Candy Expo show in Chicago between May 19th and May 21st. Sorry it’s a show just for trade and not the public. That would be SO amazing to attend though. I wonder what it would be like to be around thousands of people on a sugar high. But I digress.
How about a spray to add chocolate flavour to your food? Award-winning chef, David Burke, makes Flavor Sprays including a Chocolate Fudge spray. No calories, you just spray it on your food. Might be a sneaky way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. Chocolate broccoli or cauliflower anyone?
I like this next product, Ganache for Lips. Gourmet chocolate lip balm! Who couldn’t resist licking their lips when this lip balm is on it? Kissing would even be more delicious!
The lip balm is made with real chocolate; award winning chocolate from Scharffen Berger! It comes in nine flavours including Chocolate Orange, Mocha Latte and Chocolate Mousse. Ok, I’m starting to salivate as I’m writing this.
And lastly, just for the record. Axe Dark Temptation body spray does not make you taste or smell like chocolate. The only connection to chocolate is that you will be as irresistible as chocolate. So there’s no chocolate to speak of but their commercial certainly has you thinking that you would taste and smell like chocolate if you use their spray.
All I can say is that teenage chocolate boy in the commercial creeps me out especially with his bug eyes. I would definitely be running the other way. View the video for yourself however a word of warning: the video may put you off your chocolate for a day. Now that would calorie reducing.

I bought my almonds already ground. They had the consistency like granules of sand. Hope that helps! The cookies are outstanding especially warm.
