I will not lie – I (terribly) miss my Twix bars, my Reese’s Pieces, my Ben & Jerry’s ice cream… and much more. I know that eating them in moderation (just one Twix bar instead of five, for example) is not harmful to my weight loss pattern or to my lifestyle, but I am afraid that once I take one bite, I won’t be able to stop myself from taking nine more.

So, for now, I will keep away from my dear, sweet treats.

In their place, I have been looking for controlled, low-calorie and low-fat portions of sweets that I can trust myself to eat. Here are some I found and which I absolutely cannot wait to try:

Sweetriots, cacao nibs covered in 65% chocolate!

Each 1oz. tin contains: 140 cal, 12g fat, 0mg sodium, 13g carbs, 3g fiber, 7g sugar, 2g protein.
I’ve been told one tin holds A LOT of these little nibs! The only downside? They are somewhat hard to find and, online, you can only buy them in 12-packs for the lovely price of $39.99.

Sara Lee Cheesecake Bites

I cannot even begin to say just how much I’m aching to try the Sara Lee Cheesecake Bites – Cookies ‘n’ Creme! I love everything cookies ‘n’ creme…

Five bites contain: 100 cal, 5g fat, 10g carbs, 0g fiber, and 1g protein.
The only downside in my eyes? I can already tell I would have an extremely hard time eating only five bites.

Triple Chocolate Chunk Vitatop

One of these pieces of deliciousness contains: 100 cal, 1.5g fat, 150mg sodium, 23g carbs, and 3g protein.

Yum?
