    I know sometimes frozen berries works for me. They are sweet, and the frozen aspect makes me think it's like an ice cream treat or something. :)

    Dark chocolate (in small amounts)
    Protein bars - I like the Kirkland ones that come in Brownie and Cookie Dough.
    Popsicles or other small serving ice cream bars - often around 100 cal portions
    If you're American, they rave about Halo Top ice cream.
    Fruit. ;)

    Oh, and hard candies, like Werther's Orginal or tic tacs. Give me a sweet taste, but it's only 20 cal for a Werthers. I can make it last for a while. I like the cherry coke tic tacs.

    Halo Top.

    I see Americans rave about Halo Top all the time. I wish I was able to buy some where I live.

    For me I've started making jello a lot. I have half a cup of it with whipped cream.
    Right?

    I like to mix a package of sugar free jello with fat free sugar free vanilla Greek yogurt (I replace 1 cup of water-the cold edition- with 1 cup of the yogurt) and let it set. Delicious.

    I have a Yasso frozen yogurt bar or sandwich almost every night. 80-120 cals.

    Meringue cookies. https://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/crispy-classic-meringues They're only about 30 calories each. I also find that Quaker Corn Squares cereal will do when I want something a little more substantial. (Hitting my iron RDA is difficult and this helps.)

    If I'm craving dessert, I tend to go for Halo Top or Arctic Zero for ice cream.
    Other than that, I go for frozen berries as is or in a smoothie with some protein powder.
    Another alternative that I've done was avocado chocolate cake or dark chocolate.

    I wish they had it here in Canada :( Samething for Kodiak pancakes, another product that many Americans rave about.

    Halo Top is okay for a low-cal ice cream. Between something like 240 and 360 cal per pint depending on flavor it's temping to eat the whole pint, which makes it a pretty expensive habit. I tried a couple of flavors, and have gone back to regular good quality ice cream, managing my portion sizes. Sometimes eating less of the real is better than a lot of the not so good.

    Unsweetened apple sauce sometimes satisfies my sweet tooth, or dried fruit.
