    Sugar free Jello Pudding and Mouses are yummy, some calories, about 60 but nothing like the real thing and they taste great!

    Dessert is my favorite meal of the day! Here are some of my favorites:

    angel food cake with sliced strawberries & whipped cream
    jell-o sugar free pudding - 60-80 calories depending on flavor
    squares of high quality dark chocolate - 30 - 60 calories per square depending on brand
    Anna's thin cookies (ginger & cinnamon almond) - 6 cookies for only 140 calories
    skillet cinnamon apples
    Yoplait parfait delites - 100 calories
    homemade light fruit cobbler or crisp
    hungry girl low cal cup cakes

    I could go on...

    I recently found Genisoy Sweet Crisps. They are like a light crisp, drizzled in chocolate. You get to eat ten of them for 90 calories.
    I also turn to sugar free jell-o cups..or the sugar free pudding.
    I've made cupcakes where you mix a box of cake mix with a can of pumpkin (instead of egg, oil, etc) and they are delicious! Spice cake & devils food cake work best. The stats are better, but only if you can resist eating the whole batch. :blushing:

    There are tons of low fat/fat free/sugar free/etc types of ice cream treats at the store also.

    This is my new "go to" for a treat:

    2 tsp. organic peanut butter (so there aren't any nasty fillers) or natural P.B.
    1 tsp. agave or honey
    cream those together and add a scant tsp. of cocoa powder and cream again

    Mix in one cup of organic Kamut puffs or puffed wheat

    it is a very light version of chocolate puffed wheat square....which I really like

    I even had it for breakfast together with a glass of unsweetened chocolate almond milk

    Anyways I enjoy it!

    I love my late night snack of Corn Pops. Half a cup is 60 calories and I eat them out of a bowl like I would with popcorn. Curbs my sweet tooth everytime!!

    Also, I recently found this post on MFP about frozen peanut butter cups and tried making them over the weekend. They were so good!
    This genius of a lady made frozen peanut butter cups out of:
    1 tub (8oz) Fat Free Cool Whip (yes, it needs to be fat free. The low fat kind gives off a weird texture)
    3 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
    2 Tbsp chocolate syrup

    Here is her post:

    I don't want to be annoying....so ignore me if this is something you have already thought about and rejected as something you are worried about BUT......I am really concerned about highly processed things like Cool Whip and below is the ingredient list:

    Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skim milk, light cream, and less than 2% sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene (as a coloring).[5] In some markets, such as Canada and the United States, Cool Whip is available in an aerosol can using nitrous oxide as a propellant. Cool Whip was formerly marketed as non-dairy, but in Jewish dietary traditions, Cool Whip was classified as dairy rather than parve (non-meat and non-dairy) because of the sodium caseinate (which is derived from milk). Cool Whip now contains milk and cream.
