Low Calorie Chocolate Recipe

Here is an awesome low calorie chocolate recipe! Yes these do exist!  One serving of this is 3/4 of a cup and only has 220 calories.  The key here is to measure out the exact serving size because it will be easy to eat more!  To make sure you don't have any extra, my recommendation is to measure it out and put it in snack bags.  This way when you go to eat it, just grab a bag and know you can only have that much!
