    My sweet tooth cravings are often chocolate related, so I keep various Snackwells 100 calorie packs on hand. I love the chocolate drizzles chocolate chip cookies, the mint chocolate cookies, and both the chocolate and yogurt covered pretzels.

    I also keep Greek yogurt with fruit in the fridge.

    chocolate is my weakness. If I have a bag or container of anything chocolate or baked goods, I'll eat it all.
    Lately I've been eating Quest chocolate chip cookie dough protein bars when temptation strikes.

    Those are amazing and have saved me from indulging quite a bit! I usually have 1/2 - 1 serving as an afternoon snack.

    I love Swiss Miss Diet hot chocolate ! It is only 25 calories!! One cup usually does the trick but I'll have another if I am still craving chocolate. It got me through the winter, I may have to turn up the air conditioner to drink it this summer.

    My favorite is Vitatops. You'll find them in the freezer section with the whole food type foods. They're muffin tops. The chocolate is my favorite; it's 90 calories. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so and it's like warm chocolate cake. The best!!!

    Frozen grapes or blueberries are often recommended to satisfy a sweet craving.

    There is a recipe on the Mad Chemist website for chocolate brownies made with black beans. It is fabulous. I did work out the calories once by adding up all the ingredients and then dividing that number by the number of servings. I forget how many calories but I do remember that it's reasonable and it's a good source of fiber as well. I have frozen them and had them cold.
    Also, frozen grapes. It takes a while to eat them and they are sweet.
    Fake apple pie- I put unsweetened applesauce with a bit of Stevia and cinnamon in a pita and heat it a bit.
    Gala apple with 2 of those Laughing Cow Light triangles of cheese.
    Dairy Queen has fudgicicles and creamsicles for under 100 cal.
    Hope this eases the sweet tooth.

    Oddly enough, since I started drinking homemade smoothies with Kale, my sweet tooth has DRAMATICALLY decreased.
    About 2 weeks after consistantly having my smoothie in the am, I found a chart that said "missing this, eat this" found here:

    I was suprised and happy to learn that besides health benifits, Kale has helped me curb the sweets :)
