100-Calorie Mini Desserts!!

If you're anything like me, that sweet tooth kicks in right after dinner.....no matter what i do...coffee, milk, water, whatever! Its a mad dash to find some chocolatey-ooey-gooey-sweetness! Good thing is, literally, it only takes about 3 bites to satisfy my craving, so I've found several ways for easy-peasy satisfaction that won't ruin the waisline! A few of these are my own twists, some are from online websites/magazines, etc! Give them a try or feel free to try your own!!!


1. SMORES-- um, who doesn't love these? If you say you don't, you're lying. Lets face it. Smores are awesome- both around a campfire and not, who cares! My husband and I have even been known to light our marshmellow on fire over a candle....yep...we're THAT couple.
- 1 large marshmallow, lightly toasted or dark crispy (my choosing)
- 1 fat free graham cracker
- 1 oz sugar free chocolate or hershey chocolate will work
-------------------> only 60 calories! BAM BAM!

2. BANANA SMORE -- twist on a smore! Spread nutella on graham cracker, top with banana slice! YUM
-1 thick slice of banana
-1 tbs of nutella
-1 fat free graham cracker
-------------------> 41 calories! WINNER!

3. Sugared Strawberries & Whip Cream & Chocolate Pieces --- take strawberries, slice them, and sprinkle 1 tbs of sugar (i use Splenda Replacement!) in a bag and shake until coated. Let sit for a couple of minutes until strawberries "sweat" or are coated with a glaze. Add a dollop (love that word!--- "do do a DOLLOP", lol) of fat free whip cream and some shaved chocolate (using a cheese grater just shave some of that chocolate on top-ohhhhhh boy!)
-1 cup sliced strawberries
-1 oz chocolate shaved
-1 tbs splenda sugar
-2 tbs fat free whip
------------------->25 calories!

4. Chocolate Nut bark-- super good crunchy chocolate with pieces of nuts...dang i seriously love these!!! Great to make ahead on a sunday and store in the freezer (love them cold!)

5. Sauteed cinnamon apples with whip & shaved chocolate-- slice, peel, and dice (or cut) an apple (i prefer red Fiji). Sautee in a pan with a LITTLE oilve oil so they dont stick, and coat with cinnamon, nutmeg, and splenda sugar (*note--splenda baking sugar is different from splenda sugar u put in coffee...*). Add 1 tsp of vanilla, and if you are adventurous like me, throw in some diced nuts at the end! Sautee apples until soft, constantly turning until coated. (here is where you throw in nuts). Place in bowl and top with fat free whip or 1/4 c fat free vanilla ice cream!! Shave a little chocolate for crunch on top and yum!
-1 apple
-1/4 c fat free vanilla ice cream or fat free whip

6. Apple Empanaditas -- use this recipe but change pineapples to apples (what i prefer!) Really you could use any fruit that will hold its texture in the oven (pears, pineapples, plum, etc..berries maybe, but might end up slushy).
