    Some high-quality dark chocolate! I usually only need 1/4 - 1/2 of the "serving size" on the package to be happy with my chocolate intake for the day. :smile:

    75% Bonnat cocoa dark takes me back home. 1 mini off the bar is only ~50 kcal and soooooo good. You can't wolf it down; you must savour it.

    An envelope of Starbucks' Cinnamon Dolce Hot Cocoa (100 calories) mixed with 1 cup unsweetened silk almond milk (30 calories).

    Turkey Hill's Greek Limited Edition Baklava Frozen Yogurt (130 cals/half cup)

    Arctic Zero Cookies & Cream Pint (Maybe not as indulgent as real ice cream, but for 150 calories a pint it sure makes up for it, sonetimes I just want to eat a lot and not measure out anything)

    Fancy pants Italian cookies (I can eat one and stop). Angel food cake and strawberries. And, chocolate whip yogurt plus sugar free jello - tastes like chocolate covered cherries.

    One square of quality dark chocolate, usually Lindt. I have found that one square is all I need to satisfy that little bit of sweet craving I sometimes get after dinner. I can't eat a lot of chocolate at once, so I guess I'm lucky. Otherwise it's fruit!

    I found these popsicles called goodpops at PCC. The coldbrew coffee flavor is amazing and it's only 96 calories.

    "Healthy" is a vague term. As long as you can fit in into you calorie goal, go for it. When it come to dessert time, ideally I have already fulfilled my "healthy" obligations.

    Are you trying to get certain macros? For protein, I like ricotta cheese plus instant coffee. For fat, anything with peanut butter. For carbs, raisin bread toasted with butter. For micros, that's a little tricky. I'm usually low on iron so I go for cream if wheat with stevia and cinnamon or nutmeg. For potassium, I'd go for some dried apricots.
