Here we feature some low-carb, high protein choices, the you-got-your chocolate-into-my-peanut-butter versions, and options in between. If you’re looking for something sweet and sensible or just a sweet treat, indulge in some of our favorite chocolate snacks.
Tender and chewy
With all that chocolate goodness and less than one gram of sugar, these cookies are amazing. When you’re hungry but don’t want a meal or another banana, reach for a tender and chewy double chocolate cookie. It’s recommended women get 21-25 grams and men 30-38 grams of fiber a day, and this cookie has 11 grams of fiber. So, good for you. This gluten-free snack also gives your body nine essential amino acids. Each box has a dozen cookies. Great for packing in lunches for those mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack attacks.

Plant-based option
This luscious brownie has natural, non-GMO proteins for no heavy feeling. If you’re looking for something to sprinkle on your ice cream or in your milkshake, those chocolate brownie snacks give you the rich cocoa flavor you seek. Not a health food, but a healthier option, with whole grains, real fruit, and double chocolatey goodness. Certified vegan and Kosher, these brownies are baked in a kitchen with no tree nuts for no allergy worries.

Rich and decadent
These are addicting and one bag may not be enough for the rest of your family. Cocoa powder-covered roasted almonds taste like a high-end treat. Each almond is rolled in cocoa powder and sweeteners, and then the chocolate snack is baked to perfection. It’s hard work to eat these dark chocolate snacks one at a time. With all the healthful benefits of almonds and dark chocolate, foodies and health foodies alike love these snacks.

Many minis
With over 250 candies, everyone will be delighted to see this miniature milk chocolate assortment. Around the fire, the screen, or the field, Reese’s chocolate peanut butter bars, Hershey’s milk chocolate, and Kit Kat chocolate and wafer cookies are classic and welcome favorites. Cut the minis in half and top cheesecakes, caramel apples, and cakes with even more chocolate. Individually wrapped, this large bag of miniature candies should last at least through a busy family and friend-filled weekend. These Kosher chocolate snacks aren’t just for holidays anymore.

A fun twist
The combination of flavors and textures in these snacks is amazing. Thin and light, Biscolata’s delicate buttery wafer cookies are rolled and then filled with natural chocolate and hazelnut cream. Then they are rolled in more chocolate and minced hazelnuts. Each box has 12 individually wrapped chocolate snacks. They’re more of a milk chocolate than semi-sweet chocolate, that pairs with the distinctive hazelnut flavor. We are glad they’re wrapped, so we won’t eat them all in one sitting.
