    Cinnamon Graham crackers (2 crackers for about 120 - depending on brand)
    Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided Twists - 8 for 110 cals
    Yoplait dessert yogurts (kewi lime, coffee, chocolate mousse, cherry jubilee, etc - they're all yummy - and healthy!)
    Any fruit - banana & honey crisp apples are my favorites.
    Any high quality dark chocolate - usually if in bar form, 2 squares (roughly) is about 80 cals I think and has calcium, iron & protein.
    Skinny Cow light ice cream (the small cups) I think there's about 80 cals per serving (the whole cup I think?)

    With almost any of these, you really feel like you're cheating but you're not. Oh and believe it or not, a s'more doesn't have that many cals either considering what's in it! 1 full-sized marshmallow: 25 cals, 1 graham cracker: approx. 50 cals (brand dependent), 2 squares hershey milk chocolate I think is about 50 cals for a total of 125 calories for so much sugar it makes your teeth hurt. :D

    Hope this helps!

    Jello's Mousse Temptations are really good and they are only 60 calories. I also just discovered a treat at Trader Joe's. It's called Gone Bananas and its individual slices of frozen banana dipped in chocolate. 6 slices is 120 calories. I usually only have 2 at a time, they are a super yummy little treat!

    If I have plenty of calories left for the day...I'll go balls to the wall and have me a bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup. If not, I'll have a pudding cup. They typically run around 140 or so calories.

    Blueberries and Green grapes here. One cup of seedless grapes is 120 calories. We also buy the hostess, Keebler and weight watchers 100 calorie cookies and cakes for those times we want sweets like that.

    Blue Bunny Banana pops. 35 calories per bar.
    Sugar free jello cups, only 10 calories per cup
    Lemon tea with a tsp of honey, about 60 calories

    I use these when my limit is close, and I'm not about to binge.

    I like the chocoate pieces like we got on the ship. Dark chocolate is better for you than milk. Also, you can get soft peppermints that are only 20 calories each at Sam's or even CVS. Don't know if you have CVS out there. Of course both are sugar!

    My low cal sweet snack at the moment is homemade icey poles.

    I blend up a mango, some low fat milk/yoghurt, and maybe some other fruit (kiwi's good, or berries, banana, peach) and then freeze them into icey pole moulds.

    Each one is only 25ish calories and they taste lovely

    I find the best fix for a sugar craving, and it has virtually no calories, is black adder licorice tea. It is really sweet and I love to have it in the evening.
