What do you eat for a sweet treat when on a diet?

Agree with the grapes, I put about 8 on a wooden skewer then freeze and eat like an ice lolly. As they sweeten when frozen the value ones work great for this. Also feel lovely if you have a sore throat.

Frozen bananas are lovely - taste like banana ice cream

Frozen grapes are good.....if you want a taste of chocolate, what about Mikado sticks.....the Dime bar flavour ones are nice. If you haven't tried them before, they are VERY thin little sticks of biscuit (think the diameter of a thin knitting needle!) dipped in chocolate. They are 11 calories each. You can have 2 or 3 of those and nibble them really really slowly.

Small rice pudding - 1 level tbsp of (pudding) rice, 1 tsp sugar, in a ramekin, top up with 150ml skimmed milk, cook for about 45mins in oven. Around 125 cals and very filling, nutritious and sweet.

Frozen grapes as already suggested.

For something chocolatey Curly Wurly or homemade crispy cakes made with coco pops and dark chocolate. Really chocolatey and you feel like you've had more chocolate than a couple of squares (I can never stop at a couple of squares!).

One or two Sainsbury's Basics rich tea biscuits (about 35 calories each). I know they are very plain but they go just right with a cup of tea, and they are just nice enough without being so delicious that you want to eat the whole packet!

There are some strangely random things that I rarely dare buy, because I find them impossible to stop eating once I've started. One is hot cross buns, exactly as they are without toasting or buttering, and the other is marshmallows.:o

I have the options hot chocolate which is nice - the 'deluxe' ones are a bit nicer than the 40 calorie ones and are only 60 calories.

Also, I don't know how money saving this is, a Lindt 90% cocoa dark chocolate bar would last me over a week as I only have one square of an evening. It is quite bitter when you first taste it (thought the saliva was being sucked out of my mouth!) but you soon get used to it and one square is normally all I need because it's so strong

I have been quite sad and calculated how many calories per square and it's about 60
