Good dark chocolate12

A bag of Smart Sweets gummy bears. 90 calories and 3g of sugar for the whole packet. Either that or around a 1/4 cup of Halo Top or Enlightened ice cream.1

I allow myself in my calorie budget to consume one sweet thing a day. Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don't. It helps me not to binge.
I have been keen on the fiber one bars (brownies, mint chocolate chip, and lemon bars), weight watchers fudge ice cream bars, and maybe a serving of dark chocolate as stated above.6 -
I drink a glass of water. Then I ride my stationary bike. And if I really need something, I can eat as many calories in ice cream (Dreyer's slow-churned is 100 calories for 1/2 cup) as I worked off on the bike.7

Just eat the sweets. I binge if I feel deprived. I just bought some skittles at Walmart on a hurricane booze run (don’t judge me lol). I measured out a serving on my scale since they fit into my calories.8

Might want to explore protein fluff too...it's so yummy (https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10563959/volume-eaters-thread/p77) Lots of variations on this thread too3 -
I keep ice cream sandwiches on deck at all times.7

Power crunch bars. 200 calories and 14 grams of protein.0

Diet Coke from the fountain really helps me when sweet cravings come on. I also found that eating much less sugar was harder in the first week or two and now the cravings are almost gone.0

I plan a sweet snack into my daily calories5

Maybe allow yourself sweets into your plan, add them in as a late snack so it gives you something to look forward to in the evening.
I have heard of people cutting up a chocolate bar and freezing it in small pieces. A small bit of frozen chocolate can last a bit longer than a piece that is melting3 -
Check out the calories of a single hard candy. It’s not much. And you can suck it slowly.
There are sugar free Sorbitol candies at my Bulk Barn.1 -
I ask myself if I really really want something, or if it's just a passing craving. If I decide I really do want it and I'm sure I'm not doing it on impulse, I plan it into my day and see how I can fit it. If I can't fit it in today, I plan it for tomorrow.
ETA: since I'm prone to impulse eating, I make sure to plan these things for later. For example, if I want something in the afternoon, I plan it as an evening snack. This takes impulse out of it, and if I still want it by the time I have it planned, I have it. Sometimes I just don't want it anymore.
This is how I generally handle it:
