Several times a week for me.

Is chocolate ice cream worse than a 90 p chocolate bar 🍫

Depends. If someone buys us a box of chocolates or we buy one, I'll probably have one every day (if they're chocolates I like.) In winter / cold weather, more than in summer.

We often (e.g. once a fortnight) have desserts like chocolate mousse, fondant, cake, brownie and so sometimes I will have that, if it's something I like.

In cold weather I will occasionally get a mocha to drink as it's more comforting than my usual espresso and feels like more of a treat (also warms my hands!)

Living in a hot climate and then chemotherapy changing my tastebuds really reduced the amount of chocolate I eat / want to eat.

Pretty much everyday, I'm trying to stop but it feels like an actual addiction 😫help

Same here. I've got a problem!

How much is an okay amount if you can't give up or have it very occasionally.
2 average bars a week?

Daily! But not loads of it.

gkdf · 16/04/2024 17:17

Everyday

HuntingoftheSnark · 16/04/2024 17:16

Very rarely. I don't do moderation.

CustardySergeant · 16/04/2024 17:15

I never eat chocolate, as the fat content is too high for me to eat without suffering biliary colic. 😢

WallaceinAnderland · 16/04/2024 17:14

Hardly ever. Probably had some at Christmas. Definitely didn't have any over Easter so probably all in all about 2 or 3 times a year. I prefer savoury to sweet.

PoppyCherryDog · 16/04/2024 17:14

Maybe 4 times a week. I get a little bar of Nomo caramel most times I got to the shop.

EmpressSoleil · 16/04/2024 17:10

Hardly ever. I wish chocolate gave me the feelings it seems to give other people as I feel like I'm missing out! But it does nothing for me. The taste is just meh in my opinion. If I'm going to have something sweet, I'm more likely to go for some kind of cake or pudding.

notanothernana · 16/04/2024 17:09

A couple of times a month.

Mactoba · 16/04/2024 17:06

Multiple times a day.
Today I’ve had 2 dark choco liebniz, 2 ferrero rocher and a mini brownie

NeverEnoughPants · 16/04/2024 16:03

Every day around the time of the month. Maybe once or twice a week otherwise. Probably none some weeks

I do prefer crisps though.

tulipsunday · 16/04/2024 16:01

Every day 😊 probably shouldn't but life is too short to not have a little bit of chocolate joy!

namechanged221 · 16/04/2024 15:56

Pretty much never but if it's in the house I'll eat it so I don't buy any

focacciamuffin · 16/04/2024 15:51

Whenever I feel like it, which isn’t that often.

Theothername · 16/04/2024 15:47

Now- only on special occasions (Christmas/Easter/Birthday) and only the 90% stuff which is an amazing taste explosion.

8 months ago daily, sometimes several times a day. Counted it as a food group. Only ate milk chocolate and found the dark too bitter.

I’m very all or nothing. Envious of those who can take or leave it.

mightydolphin · 16/04/2024 15:29

Once or twice a month I will buy and share a bar of Galaxy chocolate with DH. I'm pretty good at eating healthily if sugary foods aren't in the house.

Itsokish · 16/04/2024 15:29

Every evening. One fun size bar .

Moose46 · 16/04/2024 15:26

Never, since I have gallstones and am awaiting surgery. See also biscuits/ice cream/pastries.

Legoninjago1 · 16/04/2024 15:24

A tad each day I'd say!

Xmasbaby11 · 16/04/2024 15:23

Several times a week, maybe? I do love chocolate bars, orange Twirl being my current downfall. I love Cadburys! I don't like dark chocolate, it's too bitter for me and doesn't melt in your mouth like milk chocolate.

Yorkiepud2614 · 16/04/2024 15:20

Everyday, in one form or another. I love a chocolate mousse

BodyKeepingScore · 16/04/2024 15:19

Maybe once a month. Savoury snacks and cheese are my downfall though 🤣
