Default Chocolate Snack a Jacks!!!

I have a really major sweet tooth. I love chocolate the most, it is my big down fall. I have it under control by allowing myself a small treat sized chocolate bar a day (kit kat, freddo, etc) but I have now discovered chocolate snack a jacks. They are amazing! they even have chocolate chips in them. At 62cals each they don't break the diet bank.

Another sweet tip I have is meringue. Asda do Extra special mini meringues, they are 16 cals each. I usually have 3 with 2 tbs of fat free greek yogurt and a handful of raspberries. Its enough to satisfy me and the portion is a decent size. Sometimes I'll have 1 meringue on its own to curb a chocolate craving.

Anyone else have a favourite diet treat?

Mmmm! Thanks for the tips. I've been craving chocolate like mad as it's that time of the month. Will give the snack a jacks a try.

I'm not a big snack a jack fan, but will certainly take on board the meringue tip. I've got a ton of frozen fruit and would love to turn it into more of a treat!

Reading this reminded me of a pud my mum used to make when she was on weight watchers years ago, that was the meringue, fruit and low fat creme freche and yogurt, yum yum!
