Let's talk chocolate! Fess up!

How much chocolate do you eat in one day?

I love chocolate. We cut right back on buying it a long time ago, limiting it to one bag of m&ms between DH and myself once a week. At the moment, I'm buying a block of Dairy Milk a week and having about four squares each day. Feels like a lot for me and I need to cut that back. I have two friends though (that I know of lol) who can and do easily eat a block every day.

So how much do you eat? Or do you have another sweet/savory sin that you eat too much of?

No judging, just a laugh. We all know if it's good/bad for us ;)

After I had Buster I was eating a block of Cadbury Rocky Road a day! DH kept bringing it back for me from the supermarket, I had to tell him to stop lol.

If it is in the house I eat it - I am terrible - therefore we don't buy it often or DH does and hides it. When I was pregnant I probably had at least a Mars Bar a day sometimes two, have always had a weakness for those. If I am feeling good I buy dark chocolate and limit it to a square a day (normally dark you don't crave as much). Once I ate 6 full size creme eggs in a row.

Today - no chocolate, but two snakes out of DD's treat bag, but yesterday about 15 Oreo's - sometimes I get it in my head is better to just eat it and then it is gone so can't be eaten anymore.

I am trying to stop myself by tallying up the dollars I would have spent on chocolate and then I have a treat of something else instead (fabric for me is my current obsession) it adds up quite fast and is quite a good incentive I find - but I do use chocolate as a crutch - it has been a bad day - I'll have some chocolate, it's raining - I'll have some chocolate etc etc.

If it's the house, I eat it. Unless it's the last couple of Tim Tams in the fridge now, but only because I feel guilty about eating half a pack for lunch the other day & DH noticed.

Hmmm, now I've remembered the Tim Tams, I think I need to get them out of the house so I dont have to feel guilty anymore.......noms

No comment, lol.

I dont buy chocolate anymore because it doesnt last 24hrs in this house.
ButIf im being shifty I hide it under the fish tank because noone looks there ;)

Nooooo!!

DH ate the last Tim Tam :(

ahem, well it depends on my mood. if, like now, I'm feeling pretty average i can easily do 1-2blocks of milk or white a day but i also have milky sweet tea to wash it down, about a cup per half block....
on normal days i would eat half a block over a day if it was in the house, if not it wouldn't really occur to me and i'd have a tea or coffee with breakfast and maybe a tea when DH and i were winding down after DS was asleep.
the last few weeks have been pretty average so its not been very pretty here, i cooked a brownie loaf double mix on monday and only cooked 1 1/2 worth of batter and then by tues evening the loaf was gone with only 3 pieces going to DH :redface:

That's me too, so I have it in the house rarely. My DH can have easter chocolate from one year still left over the next and it drives me nuts - fortunately his is white chocolate which I don't like so its not much of a temptation for me.

I love chocolate - especially dark and peppermint chocolate - but fortunately (I think) during pregnancy I can't stomach it so my chocolate consumption has gone right down lately.

I have rather a lot of chocolate in the house at the moment, but haven't actually eaten any for several days. Admittedly most of it is cooking chocolate (70% cocoa Lindt..yummmm) but that's never stopped me when I've had a craving for it. Normally I will have a chocolate bar about once or twice a week, or some buds or a few squares from a block.

I do find I prefer good quality dark chocolate, so can quite easily turn my nose up at anything else. But a little gourmet shop near us has these liquer soaked chocolate dipped cherries.....oh-so-good!!

Oh no!! Nothing worse than the expectation that you're going to have something yummy and it's gone!!!


I don't buy choc nor keep any in the house or it would be gone in a flash. I have a terrible sweet tooth and could eat a block of choc or pack of bickies a day if it was here. If I want choc I have to go out and buy it and drag all of the kids out, plus deal with them wanting stuff too, so that's a great deterrant for me! I haven't had any chocolate for a fair while now....maybe about a week. Which is ages for me!

i don't buy blocks anymore (well except very occasionally) because DP & i can sit there & eat almost a block just while watching tv. i do buy the bags of mini bars though because DP likes them & i may have 1 every 2 days. i would LOVE to have more but i really need to lose weight & atm i have GD so meant to be cutting back on the sugar anyways :(

I usually have a couple of squares of 70% most nights but the shop is out of the brand I like at the moment so we don't have any in the house. I'm a bit of a chocolate snob so if I can't get my hands on the good stuff I don't bother eating it.

I'm not a big chocolate fan...but seeing as the question also included *do you have another sweet/savory sin that you eat too much of?* ... it's not eating, but drinking!

ICED COFFEE! The Farmers Union one. OH. MY. GOD. I have been drinking soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much of that since having Miss Z! seriously, at least a glass if not 2 a day :|

I have stopped this week. I swear.

i am a massive chocoholic but have been really trying to cut back. in saying that if it is in the house i eat it...i try not to buy it now..
if i do buy some its a very small amount so i don't eat a whole block...

must say im glad im not the only one with this addiction..lol

If its in the house - its gone by the next morning ... even family block :rofl:

:rofl: same here

Like others have said, if it's in the house I eat it. With ds still feeding several times thought the night, i could (and have) easily eat a block over night :redface:

I have gestational diabetes and not being able to have chocolate is driving me nuts! I didn't eat that much, a freddo or few squares now and then, but I'm packing a seriously big block of Cadbury in my hospital bag! I'm coeliac too so I really only have plain cadbury. Lollies used to be my weakness but since there are very few good gluten free lollies, I moved on to chocolate. I have to say I'm quite happy with that decision :)

We can make a family block go two nights. Basically though, we try to not have it in the house too much, except for my emergency stash of Lindt ;)

My DF is definitely a chocoholic. We can't keep any in the house. In saying that I have a new treat for me and that is frozen mars bars O.M.G soooooooooooo scrummy and they last longer cause they are so hard to eat :)

You just reminded me I have a couple of those new vanilla ones in the freezer to try....*runs*

if there's a block of chocolate or a packet of chocolate biscuits in the fridge they're safe - i won't touch them - until DH opens them - then i notice every time i open the fridge!! There are four blocks in the fridge that have been there since before christmas and they're still unopened - but once they get opened i'll eat them

two blocks were there to make peppermint bark over christmas but i got sick so didn't do it... hmmmm i guess i could make it now - we still have the candy canes... mmmm nom nom nom

Rarely unless offered by someone or if I brought it home.

I love choc, we generally have some in fridge at all times, generally I am ok but sometimes once I start I need to finish it. Other times a few squares or 1 or 2 tim tams is enough.

I ate way way way too much chocolate!!! i am too scared to actually work out how much I eat - that would be faaaarrrrr too scary

If I am being a total pig, I can eat a block in a day easily! That is why I do not buy large blocks - I have self control issues!

DH is worse than I am - blink and it's gone!

I'm more of a lolly and cakes person, but put Haighs, Lindt or Koko Black in front of me and I'm yours :)

:happydance:......pineapple freddos.......:happydance:

I have never heard of these pineapple freddos you speak of! Interesting.... I like the strawberry ones *droool*

Never used to eat much of them. Developed cravings for dark choc ice cream when pregnant. Haven't managed to shrug that craving off. In fact it's gotten worse. With Xmas & all there seemed to be lots of choc at home. Aargh! ;-)

DH brought me home yet another block of Rocky Road...I ate half of it :lol: I do have some control.

If there is chocolate in the house I will eat it.

Nikki I know what you mean with the farmers union coffee - very yum

I don't tend to buy it but if we have some and it's open I would eat s couple if rows a day :redface: choc might be in order tomorrow with DD1 sick though. :p

I used to eat about 1-2 chocolate bars or 1/2 a block of chocolate a day.

Now I don't eat sugar so I eat 1 or 2 small honey sweetened chocolate patties and usually one homemade honey-sweetened chocolate brownie per day.

I love chocolate!!

Right here Nikky - I always have 2L of Farmers Union One in the fridge now that I'm home all day, and I have a glass with breakfast, as I'm not much of a hot coffee person so I drink FUIC in place of it!

With Farmers Union and Haighs, Adelaide is an awesome, but dangerous place for a sweet tooth like me to live :)

Also, check out Malteaser (MaltEaster!) bunnies. Soo good, small bunny with a creamy malteaser filling...*drools*

Pineapple freddos are sooo yum!! But a rare find!

OMG, are those malt easter eggs out already?? I was biying one of those a day when they came out last year!! MUST refrain from having them!!

I am not a real chocolate lover. I am however a real pig when it comes to Sara lee Ultra choc icecream. I could eat the whole 1lt tub in one go and I loath having to share it with DH and he knows it. My deal is though that I can only buy it when Coles have it on special so that limits how often I get it.

Ohhhhhhhhhh........

I don't buy Tim Tams because I know they'll be devoured. My family laugh at my sweet tooth, but we had them over for tea one night and they devoured an entire family pack of arnotts assorted biscuits. I'm talking four visiting adults lol!

I haven't made cupcakes for a while because I too have the mentality if may as well eat them and then they're gone. Not good lol!
