    One of the posters here engage in a zen-like process of putting one square of chocolate or one piece of Dove chocolate on his/her tongue, closes eyes, lets it melt, concentrates on nothing but that.

    Here's one I'm going to try from skinnytaste.com :

    For me.. it's sherbert. Not sure if it's good for me but calories and fat are low and it really helps my sweet tooth. Or.. I use greek non fat yogurt with a splenda and teaspoon of strawberry preserves. yummmm

    Oh yeah, Skiiny Cow stuff is great. I keep several different things in my freezer to solve many a sweet tooths. I also keep jello choc. pudding cups (60 calories) as well a jello cups (10 calories). I find a way each day to have something sweet so I never feel deprived.

    Skinny Cow...haven't tried the ice cream, but the candy bars (110cal) are so good! My kids eat them too. Sherbert is yummy. And Fudgesicle with no added sugar (original) are only 40 calories each. They get me through!

    I have a huge sweet tooth! I make cookies and then freeze them prior to baking. Then, when I'm craving something sweet, I take one or two out and bake them. If I bake an entire batch, they won't last longer than a few days! I also like knowing they're homemade and I know exactly what I'm eating.

    A Milky Way is my treat. I have super-sweet teeth. I also work in a Medical Centre, which means we have an endless supply of lollies in each of the doctors rooms (for when the kids get their immunisation shots). It's tricky not to eat handfuls when stressed and/or tired.
    Milky Way - most definitely.

    I like Cookiehead Sprouted Grain Mini Brownies (53 calories but very soft and chocolatey) and dark chocolate. For the dark chocolate, I find if I get something 75% cocoa or higher I am satisfied by a very small amount (1 or 2 squares). I have heard good things about Skinnycow but the lists of bizarre, scary and processed ingredients give me the heebie jeebies.

    I get fat free cool whip and leave it in the freezer and have a couple tbsp as a snack every now and then.

    That's true, it's also important to consider the ingredients inside a lot of these low calorie processed foods. Some of them can be really harmful

    Same problem here. I solve it with the following options:
    1-frozen Cool Whip Free w/1 T lite chocolate syrup and a variety of fruit on top
    2-1 tsp or two of peanut butter with a few dark chocolate or butter toffee almonds
    3-The 3-2-1 cake recipe that combines Angel Food cake mix and Devil's Food cake mix, but there's about 116 calories in 3T, so I combine 2T and 1.5T of water and microwave for 1 minute. I also use sugar free Devil's Food and then top with lite chocolate syrup and frozen Cool Whip
    4-Yasso Greek frozen yogurt. 1 bar=70 calories
    5-I make a batch of mini chocolate pumpkin muffins by mixing Sugar Free Devil's Food cake mix and 1 can of Pumpkin puree and bake them in a mini muffin tin. This is about 37 calories each.

    Sometimes late at night I like to snack on frozen grapes or a frozen banana sliced up. It's sweet and takes awhile to eat. Or the skinny cow truffle bars...mint is my fave!

    Also, Pink Lady apples. Not sure if you can get them outside of Australia, but they taste like lemonade to me :)

    I wish you could get cool whip in Australia.
