Not so guilty treats?

So I've been having trouble lately with sugar. I love having a little something sweet everyday, but when I buy something like a snickers and plan to only eat a 1/4 of it, I end up downing the entire bar. I also have a problem with twizzlers, it says fat free, but they are loaded with calories. So are there any treats you guys can reccommend that are yummy but not that bad for you?

    Skinny Cow chocolate truffle ice cream bars are awesome. I also like the Dairy Queen sugar free fudge bars.

    I am really loving the Fiber One 90 calorie brownies. I also go to fruit when I need a sweet. The Dole fruit cups are 80 calories, and the Del Monte peach cups are 70 calories.

    I just discovered Penguin's frozen yogurt. The nonfat sugar free flavors are 32 calories per half cup! Sure, it isn't as sweet as regular frozen yogurt but it hits the spot! And, if I have a few calories to spare, I add some mini marshmallows.

    I like the youplait whips. If you freeze them they taste like ice cream!

    Market pantry (Target brand) 97% fat free ice cream sandwiches. 130 calories, DELICIOUS. I've only tried the mint ones but they have vanilla too.

    Chocolate graham crackers, sugar free popsicles, creamsicles (really, anything along these lines is not bad for you), sorbet (check the label, some are better than others), Starburst (if you can stop at 3-4), Edy's frozen fruit bars, chocolate chips (when you really need chocolate; again, only if you have self control), sugar free gum...

    Dark Chocolate! You can eat a whole Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bar for 180 calories! Even better, you can break it up and really savor the chocolate and feel even less guilt free!

    Those little Lindt (Lindor) chocolate truffle balls they sabotage me with around all the check out stations only have about 80 calories each and they're really good chocolate. If I'm going to splurge I want the good stuff! The other perk is they have lots of flavors too.

    Men's Fitness has an article about something I have already been doing. Block off about 10% of your daily calories for a guilty treat every day. Whether it's cookies, ice cream, snickers or twlizzlers. This is the easiest way to stick to a diet and not burn out like most people do. If you include things like this that you normally would eat outside of a diet then you're less likely to burn out. And as long as you still keep your daily calorie intake at or below your goal it doesn't matter where these 10% of calories come from. It's over-doing healthy that burns most of us out.

    Trader Joe's has these little chocolate soy ice cream sandwiches that are either 50 or 90 calories each. Absolutely DELICIOUS!

    (So tasty in fact, that the caps were absolutely necessary.)

    Try a banana with a little bit of chocolate syrup. Take a banana, peel it, then place it on a foil and put it in the freezer. Frozen bananas taste just like ice cream and wil satisfy your sweet tooth for a LOT less calories. :smile:

    I froze it and stuck it in between 2 graham crackers and, voila! an Icecream sandwhich!

    Or the chocolate jello mousse freeze it and it's a 60 calorie icecream cup!
    if you want to put in on a graham cracker too!
    I freeze everything.

    Dark Hershey's kisses are 20 calories each, 2g of sugar.
    I like the dark chocolate sugar free jell-o pudding (which I find more satisfying than the lighter, more airy mousse, and it has more calcium).
