    My favorite thing when I'm craving sweet but limited on calories are a couple medjool dates. I take bites and savor the sweetness. So good.

    Sugar-free hello has very few calls if you just need something sweet.

    Wait.

    Before we start throwing out options- can we determine first what the OP's definition of "Low cal" is?

    Because my evening snack is usually 2-400 calories. and to me that's fairly low cal- even on my tight budget.

    and no- it's gelato.
    - Frozen.
    - Delicious.
    - Found near the ice cream.
    - But not ice cream.

    Well I'm thinking like 100 cal or less . I do eat a small snack a few hours after dinner. But normally more a protein snack hard boiled eggs meat vegis

    But just looking for a small little snack after that possibly before bedtime something sweet

    Cut a grapefruit in half, lay in a shallow tray cut side up, sprinkle with brown sugar & broil for 5 minutes. My kids even love it.

    See- these things- they are important.

    My evening snack tonight- effing blew my calories- and it was a bag of veggies- 240 calories of veggies plus 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Seriously.


    For a REALLY small treat?
    York peppermints are pretty good at 50 calories a pop.
    Reeses are around 100 a pop- just one though.
    Ande's mints if you're really trying to get slim with it.

    How do you feel about baking?

    I make sugar free meringues, and each half golfball size cookie is less than two calories.

    I make the meringues using a sweetener called "swerve". Its made with erithrytol and oligo-saccharides. I use the confectioners style and the cookies turn out beautifully. They don't have quite the "shatter" that meringues made with sugar do, but they are so so so close. I am currently in love

    Here is a link to the recipe I used, if you are interested.

    I go for Yoplait 100 yogurts like Boston Crème pie or their other dessert favors. 100 calories and it takes care of my dessert craving.

    sugar free jello pudding or gelatin, hot cocoa, half a chocolate bar (hershey's are in the 200 range for a whole bar, so cut it in half to make that 100 cal goal), fudgesicles, animal crackers, oreos, (most packaged cookies actually)

    I usually do chocolate, fruit, or yogurt in the evenings.
