I have a few options. Normally I'm able to fit something nice and sweet into my day. Most of the time I go for something that's going to be filling as well. My big thing has been spinach smoothies with cocoa powder and cinnamon - I swear it's sweet, it uses banana. I'll get Halo Top or similar if it's on sale, but normally it's too expensive for me. If I want something smaller than a smoothie I'll have sweetened yogurt, either sweetened with honey or crystal light or something, or a pre-flavored item. In a pinch, if I'm craving but I'm out of calories, I'll chew gum.1

Ooops, I meant Yasso Greek Yogurt bars don't have sugar alcohols (edited my previous post). It's Yasso I eat, not Enlightened.1

That's just a disaster waiting to happen. Me? I'm a true chocoholic. I love my chocolate, dark but NOT the stuff that's good for you, 70% cocoa is just too bitter for me. So I go for my Dove or Hershey's dark chocolate kisses. And I have them EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! I lost my weight doing this, I'm maintaining doing this, and I have no cravings... except in the evening, BEFORE I get my chocolate fix! ;-)
Another go-to for me is Kemp's frozen yogurt. At 80 calories per serving, I have my strawberry frozen yogurt (which I've started feeding my hubby, telling him it's ice cream and he can't tell the difference MWAHAHAHA) when the heat of the day or just plain cravings get the best of me. There are "sweets" out there that aren't going to kill your diet... as long as you include them in your daily calorie goals.
OH, and just saw @AnnPT77s post... try the Enlighten caramel and sea salt, but for ALL Enlighten, follow the directions and let them sit out a few minutes before enjoying them. VERY good stuff.
With Enlightened ice cream if it's too dense I'll pop it in the microwave for around 10-25 seconds.0
