Hey guys, I don't know if this would work for everyone, but I've had a hankerin' for chocolate the last day or two and nothing around here that I can tolerate. Turns out there were cocoa puffs in the pantry my mom bought for the kids but I won't let them eat them (I'm so mean) but every once in a blue moon. Well, they are really low fat, no fiber to speak of, and I forget the rest of the ingredients to be honest, but the point is they were pretty yummy with my soy milk! And didn't upset the tummy at all! Just passing this along. I know Heather has delish recipes for chocolate lovers but I rarely get to bake/cook much and this was a quick fix!

I eat Cococa puffs all the time (get those little sample boxes to keep at work) and they don't upset my tummy at all either! Haven't tried them in milk, but I bet they turn the soy milk into chocolate soy milk.

I am so glad you shared about cocoa puffs.
I love those things and have been dieing for a chocolate fix. I'll have to get me some to keep while all my co-workers chow-down on cake and cookies.
Now, any ideas to help me curb this moo-cow craving?
I tried to find a beefeaters anonymous group but there isn't one here in Dallas.

I agree on the cocoa puffs. They don't bother me either.
Cocoa krispies also fit in nicely. They even make decent rice krispie squares if you're looking for the choc fix.
Anybody have any problems with hot chocolate? I'm afraid to try it?

Hi Skywalker....I just now saw your photo and have to ask (although it has probably been asked or addressed when I haven't been in here) isn't it terribly difficult to have IBS and be a pilot? I sympathize for you.

Oooh that's a good question about the hot chocolate. Although hot chocolate sometimes makes me nauseous when it's too strong.. the carnation stuff is really good. Haven't looked in the ingredients.
What about those little cardboard marshmellows? I love those.. not sure I want to find out what those are made of!

'cardboard' marshmallows!! LOL
Any hot chocolate mix I've ever looked at the ingredients for had milk. There is a recipe on Hershey's cocoa where you can make your own and use soy/rice milk.
And you could probably even add mini marshmallows - the real kind.
