    Hard candy normally doesn't contain any fat so it has a fraction of the calories of chocolate or cake. It's high in sugar obviously but a better calorie option than lots of treat food. Some people are satisfied with fruit too when they want a sweet fix, berries and bananas are a good choice.

    Agreed. Outshine frozen fruit bars are cold, crunchy, and sweet. One of my favorite late night snacks.

    I typically crave sweets in the afternoon at work so I keepsome fancier hard candies around and allow myself 1 or 2. I haven't quite figured out what to do in the evenings yet.

    Chocolate covered strawberries, dipped in dark chocolate.
    Homemade banana or apple pie bread.
    Banana "nice" cream, made with vanilla and with some chocolate chips thrown in.
    A banana covered in melted peanut butter/dark chocolate, and then frozen.
    French toast.

    Just a few things off the top of my head. :)

    Depends on your goals. Some of the suggestions for my goal are way in left field.

    I make my own Jellys, two sachets of sugar free jelly crystals with one sachet of gelatin with 500ml of boiling water once melted poor into a shallow dish, cut into small pieces and tip out not as nice as haribos but its still satisfying :) disposable take away dishes work well or line a roasting tray with clingfilm x
