Craving sweetness in the evening

I couldn't care less about chocolate/sweets during the day, but after dinner i'm fighting the urges to dip into the chocolate stash.
Can anyone offer a low calorie sweet alternative? I'd probably have a coke zero, if it wasn't for the caffeine content.

    I have never been a sweet person but sometimes lately my body wants something sweet.

    I have found that cool whip (i usually go with the fat free kind) is an awesome thing.

    2 tablespoons is only 20 calories and its usually enough to get my craving to pass.

    A cup of Chocolatey Mint Tea (President's Choice) with a little splash of almond milk and sugar/sweetener/honey usually does the trick for me! In fact, I am drinking one right now.

    I normally have a square of dark chocolate (70 cals) assuming I have room for it. Last night I had 13 dark chocolate chips because that's what I had calories for ;)

    Chocolate chips are great because even if you only have a few calories left over for the night you can always fit in a few chips. Eat one at a time and let it melt completely in your mouth. They really help with the cravings and I don't blow my calories for the day. Try it ;)

    This. I have a square or two of Lindt Sea Salt Dark Chocolate in the evenings, it satisfies the sugar cravings and dark chocolate is good for you!
