Weight Watchers - What is your favorite treat?

Hi Everybody, Since being on this journey, I have a new way of thinking about food. But every week I stop in the City to get my favorite treat, a Vanilla Cooler from Caribou Coffee. It is 5.5 points for a 16oz glass. AND WORTH EVERY POINT!!! Would like to hear from you, what you treats are.

My favorite treat is a chocolate graham cracker snapped in half with FF cool whip in the center...freeze and OHHHH...it's better than a ice cream sandwich!

Take care!! :)

My absolute favorite is Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches. 2 points for a vanilla, 3 for the new Peanut Butter/Chocolate. Can't beat them. Although, Wolfangel, I'm willing to put the chocolate graham cracker/ff Cool Whip to the test.

Wolfangel, how many pts for your chocolate graham cracker treat?

I like to mix 1/2c plain lofat yogurt with 1c frozen berries, and add a little sweetner and vanilla- it is filling and tastes almost like ice cream- way better than those tiny 2 pt yogurts you buy. (But still 2pts)
Also, those Bakers Cookies that Christine posted are EXCELLENT and filling!

My favorite treat is a Double Chocalate Chunk Rice Krispie Treat for 2 points!

I also make the angel food cake mixed with cherry pie filling @ least once a week. Sometimes I top it with a small scoop of ice cream and drizzle choc. on it. Good Eatin!!!

I love the graham cracker and cool whip treats too! I tried the angel food cake mixed with pineapple once, but when I cut it, it was mushy inside! What did I do wrong??

Jlea,
I have two guesses on the mushy pineapple angelfood cake.
!. Did you happen to add the pineapple AND the water
the cake mix calls for? (If you add canned crushed pineapple, that's all you add)
2. Did you happen to cook it for less time than the cakebox suggests?
Other than that, I don't know what might have gone wrong.

No, I didn't add any water, just the crushed pineapple. I cooked it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. I thought when I took it from the oven it looked undercooked in the middle, but I had never cooked angel food cake so I just wasn't sure.

I will try it again sometime and cook it a little longer. I ate some anyway, around the edges. It was good. :lol:

My best chocoholic fix is a No-Pudge Brownie, taken from the freezer, nuked for 10 seconds and topped with Cool Whip Lite. 2 very dense, dark-chocolatey points.

Little Debbie low fat raspberry filled angle cakes. 3 points

I loooooooooove home-made potato chips - peel shavings off a baking potato, lay them in 1 layer on a plate (for the microwave) or a baking sheet (for the oven), sprinkle with salt/ paprika/garlic salt (whatever tickles your taste buds) and nuke 'em.

Microwave is quicker, oven makes 'em crispier. You have to experiment with timings, etc for perfect crispiness but it is SO worth it!

Points = the same as for plain potato. You get one heck of a lot of chips out of 1 potato, so you could either eat the whole lot for about 2.5, or a 'normal' portion for .5/1.

Oh this is making my mouth water :devil:

Lolly, I am definitely going to try your home made potato chips idea. How long do you cook them in the oven for? Not long I guess if they are thin. Yummy.

Chocolate Graham Crackers filled with Cool Whip
Free to which I have added 1 small pkg SF Jello.
Sometimes it is Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry or
Mixed Fruit. Wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen they are wonderful for dessert or night time snack.

I'm a confirmed chocolate addict, but not just any will do! 3 Dove chocolate squares is 2 points. I break them into quarters and savor them slowly. I can always find room for 2 points!

I love the Cinnamon Twists from Taco Bell. Only 3 points per serving.

There is something about a carmel machiotto. 3 pts for a tall. Yum. ;)

Two words - Valrhona Chocolate. Okay, a few more words, specifically their semisweet or bittersweet bars. French chocolate is definitely the best - higher cocoa content and less sugar so more chocolate flavor for your buck. I have 1 oz. at least every other day. The flavor is so intense that even that small amount can satisfy my chocolate craving. Thank heavens William-Sonoma started carrying the large bittersweet bars so I don't have to order from chocolatepicure.com and pay the large shipping fee!!

I am an admitted chocoholic, with no plans to reform any time soon....I have the "real thing" when chocolate's what I need---I could eat truckloads of the low-point alternatives, and I'd still end up wanting (and eating) the good stuff, so I cut to the chase. I can always find a way to make room for the points.

For a more "everyday treat," my favorite is Trader Joe's chai latte...very yummy, and only 1 point.

Good thing I just ate!!

1. Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches when I can find them.

2. Dryer's (or Edie's) SF triple chocolate ice cream (1/2 c=2 pts)

3. Kedem Tea Biscuits (6=1 pt) together with 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce (warm it up and add a small packet of Splenda). This is a great after dinner/watching TV treat for 2 pts, and good sized too.

4. 1/3 cup REAL yogurt (i.e. full fat) = 2 pts. Add 1/2 banana or some berries for 1 more point. This is waaaay better than ff yogurt.

Hmmm, getting hungry again. LOL

I'm trying to post a reply- not a "new" reply and not a "new thread" I don't see another option. Am I missing something?

DOVE BARS! Chocolate on Chocolate. That's my number 1. favorite treat.

My number 2 favorite is Nutella!!! Love the stuff. Best thing I ever found. Of all things, I like it best on Natural Ovens Hunger Filler Bread. But on a binge day (did I say a dirty word?) it's great straight from the jar!

My favorite is a caramel frappuccino from Starbuck's.
It is a lot of points but well worth it......
