Be specific, Lindt 90% not all Lindt.
you can google the benefits of dark chocolate.

One link:

Reduce insulin resistance with dark chocolate
Insulin, which is released by the pancreas when blood sugar rises, has the job of escorting blood glucose into the cells. Repeated release of insulin due to too much sugary food causes the cells to develop resistance to insulin preventing it from doing its job and depriving the cells of needed nutrition. Now the body fears starvation, calls for more food and signals a need to store fat to protect against starvation. The result? Weight gain.

Substituting dark chocolate for some of the sugary foods may help reduce insulin resistance

2. Chocolate helps stop food cravings
Reductions in food cravings between meals can help prevent overeating and this means foods that promote feelings of fullness can be important for weight loss. Once again healthy dark chocolate may be part of the answer. A study from Denmark reviewed in a 2008 edition of Science Daily found that dark chocolate, compared to milk chocolate, was more filling and also lessened cravings for unhealthy foods.

3. Chocolate reduces stress and cortisol levels
Stress triggers release of cortisol which causes the body to secrete more insulin leading to overeating. In a 2009 study published in the Journal of Proteome Research, 30 subjects who suffered from anxiety consumed 1.4 ounces of dark chocolate daily for two weeks. Urinalysis showed a resulting reduction in the excretion of cortisol prompting the scientists to conclude chocolate can alter human metabolism.

My wife also said Dark chocolate aids in weight loss.
She proceeded to eat a slab of Bournville every other night.
It didn't take long for her to realize the error of her ways.

The Bournville only has 39% cocoa. I checked :D
 
Well.. Regarding choccie and disregarding science which may exist (because I don't know the science) - I eat a half a block of lindt dark choc for a mid morning snack and it takes away my hunger and craving for naughty things. Sometimes I'll have a whole block. Or 2 depending on my mood. So the choc may assist myself in weight loss by reducing hunger for a while. Not sure but that's just my comment on the situation.

Sigh, that was just one link, there are others.

Either way you not going to gain weight with 90% chocolate and nor is it a reward, it is a healthy snack option which may or may not have health benefits, as usual, depends on what research you feel like reading.
