"Healthy" Snacks for sweet tooth

Options
What are some "healthier" snacks for a sweet tooth that you have found? I am not much of a sweets person, I tend to snack on carbs (mostly crackers and cereal), but when I do crave sweets, I find myself grabbing chocolate and any other thing within my reach until that craving is satisfied.

    I like skinny cow truffle ice cream bars. 100 calories and very good. But more often, I have a 60 cal sugar free dark chocolate pudding cup. Yum.

    I make a sweet protein shake like a scoop of vanilla protein, half cup of milk, and a cup of blueberries in the blender with a dash of cinnamon (or if you love cinnamon like I do, a lot of it). They're really good. I make them more hearty with half an avocado added in too. Makes it creamy beyond belief too. :)

    sometimes I'll just have a sweet potato with one tsp of brown sugar, 1 TBSP light margarine (I prefer Smart Balance), and some cinnamon.

    I do a mix of dried fruits and peanuts then divide into half cup servings which one serving has 221 calories so you can't eat a lot of it. However, it has me completely off the cake, cookies and so forth. I use pineapple, cranberries, raisins, banana chips and roasted peanuts. If I would drop the banana chips and peanuts it would have a lot less calories but they are so good in the mix!

    Apple chips
    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alexandra-guarnaschelli/apple-chips-recipe/index.html (maybe cut down on the sugar)

    Also, when I want a candy bar power, I get one of Powerbar's peanut butter protein bars. Tastes like Reeses.

    Sherbet instead of ice cream.

    My favorite is "Nature Valley" Strawberry it's 90 calories :) I like most of their low-cal snack bars. (Special K Is good too, especially the chocolate drizzle ones, there only 90 calories)

    I also eat Quaker Rice Cakes (Caramel Corn) Theres Only 50 Calories & They're Big -- and u can taste the caramel, oh its just soooo-sooo- good :))

    I also like yogart (Vanilla, Strawberry) Aslong as it's the non-fat kind, the ones I like have about 80 calories in them :D

    Jell-O (Banana Pudding) Only about 80 calories or less =)


    I have to have things already packaged because I'm horrible with controlling myself if I have to portion it out myself lol I do good with dinner and stuff, but when it comes to the sweets I would probably go-over board.
