    "Coffee substitute" sounds like a sad thing...

    I'm with you on the very dark chocolate, though!

    I eat lightly salted apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon sometimes when craving sweets. Plus, I keep Sugar Free Klondike Bars in the freezer for when I need ice cream.

    I eat what I'm hungry for honestly. I have a serving of dairy free Chocolate ice cream with a tbsp vegan dark chocolate chips built into every night. Each morning, I get up and put it in my diary with my coffee. ;) I've found that if I try to replace it, I just end up eating more than I would have if I'd only eaten the thing I originally wanted.

    I love to mash a banana and cook it in the microwave. It becomes more sweet and gooey. Top it with a tablespoon or two of crushed graham crackers and a dollop of fat free whipped topping and viola - you have warm banana pudding. It is incredibly satisfying and indulgent tasting for around 150 caloies!

    Another sweet treat I make a lot is to mix peanut flour with some splenda, a dash of salt and water until creamy. Drizzle sugar free chocolate syrup on top. Peanut flour is also good mixed with a sugar free chocolate pudding cup.

    I also love to mix lowfat cottage cheese, crushed pineapple and fat free whipped topping. Then mix in some powdered sugar free cherry jello. Such a wonderful jello treat! I have an incurable sweet tooth. ;)

    I recently put hersey kisses in the freezer. When I crave sugar, I usually get a couple out and let it melt in my mouth. I think it is 9 kisses for 200 calories, but I never get anywhere close to that.

    I've made these before, and they're fantastic for hitting that sweet tooth. But when I'm lazy, I'll measure out a couple tablespoons of dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips and let them melt on my tongue.
    I also like frozen grapes, the 100% frozen fruit bars you can get at the store, or have a banana with a little drizzled honey -- however, my cravings are always for chocolatey-type stuff.
    Banana "ice cream" with a little syrup or chocolate chips does the trick.
    Mixing SF/FF pudding mix in with low fat cottage cheese also works, and makes the result taste like cheesecake to me.
    A real treat is a serving of ricotta cheese with a little stevia, cinnamon, and chocolate chips or honey. YUM.

    Personally, I just eat something sweet because I know if I don't keep eating the stuff I like while trying to lose weight once I stop I'll just gain everything back as I'll want to eat that stuff again. So I just eat a smaller portion than I would usually have so I'm still under my calories. I have a big sweet tooth and usually like something sweet after every meal. Most grocery stores have bite sized caramel slices or mini cookies etc in their bakery section, they're good for a sweet fix the ones I get are around 40-62 calories each.

    I make a healthy brownie almost every night for my sweet tooth. 1tbsp coconut oil, 1tbsp water, 1 tbsp coconut flour, 1 tbsp cocoa, 1tbsp raw honey, splash of vanilla extract, and sea salt. Heat all in microwave for 40 seconds.

    Not a recipe but try kind bars with dark chocolate. Not horrible for you (about 200 calories) and honestly sweet enough that half of one usually does the trick. Unless you've really got that sweet craving.

    Banana boats (Girl Scout inspired)

    Cut an unpeeled banana length wise along inside curve. Cut into it pretty deep but don't cut down to the peel on the other side. Fill it with a tbsp semi sweet chocolate chips and cook in microwave or oven until the chocolate melts.
    Easy, fast, and so good.
