    Skinny cow has some great stuff! Or you can mix a box of brownie mix with a can of pumpkin puree, cook.... let it cool. Super yummy, not sure of exact stuff, but if you google it, it'll come up with the recipe! Drizzle melted peanut butter on it, and I promise it will not taste like a diet dessert at all! Hope that helps.

    Skinny Cow DOES have some great stuff! I like their little chocolate clusters with the rice crispies, tastes like a 100 grand!

    I definitely feel you, my sweet tooth is my biggest problem...by far! I just CRAVE chocolate! I've been very proud of myself for being able to control myself with sweets, but at the same time, I wish I didn't like them at all because I'd probably lose weight twice as fast! Let me also just tell you, I go over my sugar every single day. I usually go over with breakfast alone because a lot of times I'll eat greek vanilla yogurt with granola. I'm supposed to be having 26 grams or less of sugar, but I just cannot do it! My weakness has always been chocolate! One of the things I've found VERY satisfying is Weight Watchers Triple Divine Chocolate bar. That thing is SO rich and completely satisfies me for the whole day, with only 100 calories I think...maybe 110.

    I don't know if you're trying to not eat sweets at all or if you're looking for healthier alternatives, but my fiance always tells me I have to allow myself stuff like that or I'm going to crack and eat a lot of it. If you're looking for substitutions I can't help there because to me, eating an apple is good, but I still know it's fruit, and I still want something sweet. Here are some things I eat for sweetness:

    King Size Special Dark Hershey bar, divided into 4 sections. Eat one section and it's 80 calories. Dark chocolate has really been my friend because it's better for you, and also it's rich so I'm left very satisfied.

    Dark Chocolate Plum Sweets=chocolate covered prunes, but the prunes are good for you, and to me, they taste like chocolate covered raisins. The biggest thing is just making sure to measure and not go overboard.

    Another thing I eat when I"m wanting something sweet is cereal.

    I have the Jello ones and they're only 60 calories... use it as a dip for a serving of mini pretzel twists and it's an amazing indulgence that rivals regular chocolate covered pretzels! Only 160 calories (give or take)

    Whatever I like (as long as its within my calories)

    Mini Kinder Bars - AUS (69kcal)
    Mini Choc Buttons - UK (99kcal)
    Splice Fruit Ice Lolly - AUS (70kcal)
    Mini ice cream stick ie Magnum (110kcal - 190kcal)
    Light Philly & Sugar on crackers (like a mini cheesecake)
    Fruit

    I'm not on this for a crash diet so IMO a little bit of what you fancy isn't a problem as long as you know when to stop. x

    I have sweet teeth I try to fight off the urge and if that doesn't work I will go buy something sweet and have a piece. I find if I have it in the house I don't want it. I have a box of ice cream in the freezer thats been there for 3-4 weeks, there was a time like 3 months ago that it was all I could do to not eat it all on the way home from the store.

    My sweet tooth is almost entirely to blame for me being overweight. I love sweets and unfortunately when I start eating them I can't stop. It sets up major binge eating for me. Here's some options:

    1. Cut them out entirely...after about 2 weeks you won't crave them anymore (if you can get through 2 weeks that is)
    2. Major portion control (Personally, for some reason it doesn't really work for me, but it seems to for most people). Eat half a candy bar, or measure out your ice cream, buy snack sized sweets (100 calorie packs, etc) and only eat one.
    3. Go with low-cal, sugar free, or low-fat options: Skinny Cow and Weight Watchers have a lot of options both frozen or not, jello with cool whip, frozen yogurt with no toppings, cupcakes (one 24 packet of any cake mix with one can of diet soda, or 12 pack with a half can of diet soda. This cuts out all the calories from egg, sugar, butter, milk, etc and they are still yummy. Just add 5 minutes cooking time).
    4. Fruit. I think the natural sugar from the fruit really helps with the cravings. You can always add some cool whip.

    Chocolate (especially dak chocolate) is definitely my problem. I also LOVE ice cream. I absolutely LOVE Skinnycow Mint Ice Cream Sandwich. I have tried the majority of their ice cream sandwiches and the mint one is the best and is only 140 calories.

    Also, Dove Smooth Dark Chocolate Promises. Each piece is only 42 calories. Just have to be careful on how many you eat:wink: .

    I've got a sweet tooth too! The more sugary the better!
    I even like caramel better than chocolates!

    That Diet Coke Cake idea I found somewhere here's something I'd like to try someday.

    Sugar free jello are a great quick fix too.

    oh and mangoes are something eat when i have sweet cravings too!
