    Dark chocolate is supposed to be better for you. Healthier snacks could be cashews or almonds and maybe popcorn. Or even the 100 calorie packs. There's cookies and crackers that are already measured out to be just 100 calories. Those are always good and won't ruin your weightloss. Hope that helped. :-)

    Single portions of everything instead of bags of candy? clothes? dried fruit?

    Not all "healthy" ideas, more like a "Moderation Easter Basket" - Fancy fruit that you don't normally eat, sweet nuts, a bit of dark chocolate, homemade cupcake (like the ones you make with a cake mix and a diet soda or can of pumpkin), a tiny bag of Jelly Belly beans, banana chips, small bag of kettle corn, small portion of Easter shaped marshmallows, homemade granola.

    How about some dried fruit like cranberries or mango? (instead of jelly beans :) Still very sweet, but at least have some nutritional value.

    When I want chocolate, I fill a medjool date with raw cacao nibs when I take out the pit. Yum!

    I love to add chocolate to hot popcorn! Chocolate Covered Kate has a healthy chocolate bar recipe, break it up and add it to hot popcorn.!

    SKINNY COW CANDY ROCKS!! also you could make cute little packages of your own snack mix! try peanut butter and chocolate cheerios with some broken pretzel sticks. YUM and low fat/cal with some whole grain nutrition.
