If you are craving chocolate, look for baker's chocolate or cacao powder. I included links for the two that I use:
https://www.amazon.com/Bakers-Unsweetened-Baking-Chocolate-KOSHER/dp/B00Q9EX6IY
https://www.amazon.com/HERSHEYS-Cocoa-Natural-Unsweetened-Cacao/dp/B005CUM0J2/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1524666194&sr=1-4&keywords=hersheys+cacao+powder
With the first one (baking chocolate), I melt it, then add a little honey to it (since it is extremely bitter, as is). Then, I either dip nuts (almonds or macadamia nuts) in the chocolate honey mix to make my own nut clusters or dip fruit into this mixture. Drizzling the chocolate over the fruit (if you only want a hint of chocolate) works well too. While it does have some "sugar" in it because of the honey, it is a lot less than what you get at the store. Plus, you are able to control the sweetness, so you only have enough sweetness to make it edible to your tastes.
With the second one (cacao powder), it is great for "smoothies" or in Greek yogurt, as was mentioned before. A really tasty combo is the cacao powder with peanut butter (powder) and your milk of choice (with strawberries).
For sweet drink cravings, I tend to add Sweet Leaf drops (liquid Stevia) to my water. They have one called Lemon Drop that tastes like sweet lemonade. There is also a Root Beer that would taste just like root beer, if you add sparkling water.
Since I am on Metformin and Ovasitol, I think that cut out a lot of the carb/sugar cravings. So, I haven't been eating traditional sweets as often. Once your taste buds get used to less sugar, an apple/a banana with nut butter can taste like a dessert...same thing with just plain fruit. If I do eat the nut clusters that I mentioned above, I will eat a few clusters and be satisfied because of the fat content in the nuts.
If you want 100% cacao, I'd buy the beans or you can find cacao powder. Like hershey's. Or the "special dark" like catjuggler said, which is "dutch processed" to make it less bitter and mix easier, but lowers the antioxidant score and polyphenol/flavanoid count.
I don't like cocoa, It's kind of bitter and the one I have has carbs

What about things like drinking a green tea and taking curcumin supplements? That's 1.5grams of something.
Or taking a tablespoon of cocoa powder (10 calories, some carbs and fat):
