    Fudge pops, sugar free jello pudding cups, cocoa roasted almonds, flavored Greek yogurts, halo top ice cream, skinny cow or yasso ice cream bars, protein bars (the Zone Perfect salted caramel brownie are a favorite of mine).

    i'm making creme brulee right now. with milk instead of cream, and minimal caramel.

    *shrug* it's basically french toast without the bread part, and i'm just fine about that.

    I generally either earn them through increased exercise or work my plan to include it.

    Yesterday I bribed myself to train, went and did my training and the reward was a slice of cake

    i love walmart's sea salt caramel ice cream sandwiches. they are priced low too which is a bonus. i think the calories are 160 or 170 per bar. not real low but so worth it. they make sugar free ones too but i don't think they are as good.

    Anything that fits your calories. In the UK Aldi has caramel wafer bars that are around 130kcal and very delicious. They are much more satisfying than a snikker or something like that and have less calories.

    I've been making homemade oat/granola type bars andddd my personal fave now is PB2 balls made with xylitol, arrowroot powder, unsalted butter, pb2 and dark chocolate. Sweeter than any real peanut butter ball I've ever had! Delish!

    Small bits of it. A Hershey kiss is 22 calories. A 'square' of 86% cocoa dark chocolate is 60 calories.

    This recipe says 280 calories! I eat cookies, ice cream, or chocolate and still don't eat 280 cals for a sweet treat :huh:

    OP, I get single serving dark chocolates, halo top, popsicles, fiber one brownies. I eat cookies too, but because I'm able to moderate and eat one serving, I know not everyone can do that. And nothing wrong with fruit!

    Peanut butter, ice cream, chocolate, cake, pie, chips, etc...all won't sabotage your diet if you eat in moderation.

    Chocolate graham crackers and SF cool whip. Tastes like an ice cream sandwich!

    Or Dole Dippers, in the freezer section.

    I like banana ice cream (frozen bananas, your choice of milk, blend it - so easy!) with 70%+ cacao chocolate drops mixed in.
    I know you're trying to stay away from fruit, though.
    The choco drops on their own are awesome, and a 1/4 cup isn't too high in calories. I like Dagoba 74% Cacao choco drops. You can get them at target, too!

    My friend just recommended this to me and she says it tastes like cheesecake:

    1 container fat-free Greek yogurt
    1-2 tbs of Jello pudding sugar-free cheesecake
    whatever fruit you want

    I eat what I like(good chocolate, fancy dessert) just a very small portion. Two weeks ago I saw some coffee brownie at Trader Joe that I really wanted to try, so I brought it, it is 300cal per brownie so I only have 1/5 of a brownie per day with my coffee, only 60 cal, easily fit into my daily calorie budget(only 1200cal).

    I like to make faux Key Lime pies by mixing Key Lime Greek yogurt with some Cool Whip and either use honey grahams as a dipper or make ice cream sandwiches out of them. So good!

    I keep a bag of individually wrapped Ghiradelli mini squares in my desk in dark chocolate. 36 calories each. One (or maybe two) satisfy my cravings and keep me from feeling like "I can't have it." Having to unwrap every one of them keeps me from mindlessly eating them.
