I have a huge sweet tooth, candy, chocolate and I love baking. What are some low cal ways to satisfy my sweet tooth? What are your fave sweet snacks?

    I ensure I have a small bit of chocolate every night after dinner. (Mini Mars bar, frozen)
    I can't be trusted with most baked goods so I don't go near them anymore - not until I have this weight loss thing under control.
    I use artifical sweetener most days - in my coffee, in my oats, in plain 0% fat Chobani. Plus a squirt of vanilla extract if the mood takes me.
    I have fruit as a snack where I can, and sometimes just a few sultanas or raisins is enough to give me a taste of sweetness.
    I'm in no way against sugar, I just love sweet things as well and so have to keep well away unlessI have budgeted for it in my calories!

    Lately it has been M&Ms. I buy the large bag and it will literally last me months. If you are able to stick with small amounts at a time it works well. I usually eat 15-20 several times a week. If you can't hold yourself to limits I wouldn't recommend this approach.

    I'll admit I've been going a little overboard on Easter candy this week, but when I'm in my more usual routine, I like to have a half-cup of light ice cream (about 130 calories), an ice cream sandwich (about 160 calories), or a fudgsicle - something like that. Tootsie Roll Pops are awesome, only 60 calories and they take you a while to eat!

    I don't bake much anymore, but my fiance likes to make cookies and brownies still. When he does, I bring some of the extras in to work (they disappear fast!) and/or limit myself to one serving a day. Eat it slowly with a glass of milk and it's more than satisfying.

    I like to save calories so I can have a serving of dark chocolate covered almonds every evening. (Can't control myself with the milk chocolate ones!)

    If I'm jonesing for sweets in the morning, I will sometimes mix a tiny bit of Nutella (1/2 - 1 tsp) into a bowl of oatmeal. It's a very fulfilling way to get over that chocolate craving! Most mornings lately, though, I've been eating greek yogurt and honey. Mmmm...

    I had a major ice cream craving this week that I satisfied by mixing some coconut milk with maple syrup and eating with a spoon! Less calories than a pint of Haagen Daz which is what I was considering!

    Sugar free popsicles, 15 cals each. I usually have several each night. Also a regular size hershey bar, 210 cals, or a york peppermint patty, 140 cals I think, are good if they fit into your calorie budget. I cannot buy a large bag....just have to buy one at a time.

    I always eat a small bowl of cereal with fruit and unsweetened almond milk to satisfy my sweet tooth.

    By keeping a steady rotation of seedless grapes in the freezer it decreases the amount of the hulk smash feeling I get when the withdrawal symptoms of my previous life's chocolate addiction kick in.

    Jello sugar free chocolate pudding--the cook & serve (not instant) stuff. I make it with water only, no milk, so the entire box is only 120 cal. That means I can indulge on 2 cups of chocolately goodness with no guilt!

    I use portion control, make sure the calories fit into my calorie goal :) Having said that, I eat really whatever I want! Popsicles, ice cream, gummi worms (sour are the best!), chocolate, the Dairy Queen cake sitting in my freezer ;)

    Yoplait boston cream pie = 90 cals, 5 proteins.

    Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom vanilla bean and salted caramel variety pack = 100 cals each.

    Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom fudge bars = 60 cals

    I prefer things which come in individual portions so I'm not tempted to have an extra bite or two.
