I am slowly training myself to be happy with 1 piece but its hard as I used to kick the ass out of it. LOL

i will be getting the 100% dark chocolate which has very lttle sugar. This will help Im sure 🙂

Why 100% cocoa? It’s dreadful. If you’re going to have chocolate you might as well enjoy it.

I have tried the 80% and it is not enjoyable

Which just goes to show that we're all different, as I find that Lindt 85% Intense Dark suits me just fine, but like you I ration it - 2 squares a day, occasionally 3.

Holidaying in Cornwall, as we've done every year for the last 12 years, I developed a taste for Kernow 70% and now my wife orders it from the sweet shop in Fowey as my birthday, Valentine's Day, wedding anniversary, Easter and Xmas treat.
 
80% is the max I can eat and no way would I buy or enjoy 100%, so good luck with that!

Mostly I buy Lidl 70% and it is quite easy to restrict it to one square broken into 4 pieces and I eat it with a spoon of 100% peanut butter to make it more satisfying. Any lower than 70% and it becomes too moreish and I struggle to restrict it to just 1 square.
 
I love 90% dark chocolate.
I’ve had some 100% stuff from Hotel Chocolat that was nice.
