what snacks do you buy to satisfy those cravings that doesn't make you feel guilty?
for me it's skinny cow mint ice cream sandwiches... yum!
Reason: Released as sticky
low-cal hot chocolate :)
Weight watchers mint chocolate chip sundae...they come in packs of 2, at 150 each. I usually eat both in one sitting! SO worth the calories.
I love the sugar free individual chocolate pudding packs. I make it with a half cup of milk with some soy milk to make it kind of runny. mmmmmmm
My new fav is one graham cracker broken half and both topped with 1 tbsp peanut butter and 1 tbsp marshmallow creme. The cals are around 174 that way and it feels like I am getting two big, gooey cookies. Some hot tea or coffee and my sweet tooth is satisfied. You could reduce the cals if you halved the amount of peanut butter and marshmallow creme. I have a hard time getting in all my cals for the day(fill up on fruits, veggies, beans, etc.) so at the end of the day my "cookies" are delish, plus I don't feel guilty because there is peanut butter on it. :)
popcorn! i eat some every night i'm home.
Edy's slow churned Rich & Creamy Vanilla Almond chocolate ice cream bars(no sugar added)
And if you think that was alot to say just wait til you try them.......so so good!!!!
150 cal per bar
They score a C because of the sugar alcohol in them, but cal and taste wise they are an AA++ all the way. So guilt free.
LOVE the Skinny Cow mint sandwhichs as well. Also, sherberts and sorbets. The orange sherbt I buy is 70 cals for 1/4 a cup. Worth it to me as a person who can down an entire half gallon of icecream in one sitting. ^^;
Apple slices with peanut butter
DAIRY QUEEN KIDDIE CONE.
oh man 150-200 calories, but ohhh so worth it.
the dairy queen is a one minute walk from my house, i get it at least 4 times a week. i know BAD, but thats why i love calorie counter 
as long as i fit it into my calorie intake!
McDonald's ice cream cones: They're allegedly only 150 calories per cone. Even though I find that hard to believe and suspect that it is much higher, I'll continue to enjoy them without guilt until it becomes official xD.
Kraft Handi-Snacks sugar-free pudding: They're so yummy and only 45 calories per container.
Brothers-All-Natural potato crisps: A perfect chip substitute for only 45 calories per pouch. Some people find them to taste odd and/or find the serving to be disappointing, but that just means more for me :D!
Popcorn, as i have a serious savory tooth and need salty popcorn.
For when i need that chocolate fix, i'll hit the dark chocolate in the fridge, 1 square is enough for me, mmm green and blacks chocolate.. :P
I second the McDonald's ice cream cones. I actually do think they are 150 calories because if you compare them with DQ ice cream cones, which are 230, they are a lot less thick and creamy. More like ice milk that you get from buffets.

Bam. Sums it up right there. Yum.
Malt-o-Meal cereals. I'm quite addicted to Fruitie Tooties right now. :d 1 cup of pure sugar and vitamin-y goodness for only 130 calories sign me uuup~!
Tootsie rolls
No Sugar added Swiss Miss hot coco
Warm Delights minis
Smartones Mint Chocolate Chip Sundae & various ice creams. (FYI cookie dough sundae = disapointing.)
Animal Crackers (They're pretty tasty with cheese, PB, or chocolate.)
fruit pearls! to me they taste like ice cream.

But the peanut butter cup sundae = obsession.
I take a little debbie's 100 calorie chocolate cake and top it w/ 1/2 c of low cal ice ream around 80-100 cals per serving and you get a little cake and ice cream for 180-200 calories! Yum-o! I also love mini pretzel twists with roasted red pepper hommus! Super Pretzel soft pretzels are so so good as well! I'm not the biggest snacker, so sometimes a bowl of cereal after work is just fine with me!
Sugar-free Bomb Pops (20 calories) and Blue Bunny's Sweet Freedom fudgesicles (35 calories). It's like being a kid again, and I can eat a million of them!

it just depends on how many ounces of ice cream the kid working decides to put in the cone. I read a post on here once of someone who bought one and went home and measured it on the food scale and it ended up being double the cals because they put so much ice cream in it.
anyways I dont really have a sweet tooth.. if im going to eat something bad for me its cheese or peanut butter, lol.

Me too! Though that is a special treat - 10 pretzel snaps (little squares) with a little hummus on each - since I haven't checked how many calories it is. If I'm watching a movie at home, I have to have a bag of low-salt, microwave popcorn... though I altenate that with 'white cheddar' rice cake which is 45 calories each (once I got past the feeling I was eating styrofoam because of the texture!)
