The Elusive After Dinner Sweetie

I have no idea what others do but in the evening I like a "sweet" before I hit the sack. It is a very bad idea and always results in me gaining weight...sometimes a lot. Nevertheless, I like them and, unfortunately, can't resist them generally.

I was in the local "Dollar General" (the only store within 30 minutes) getting some milk this evening and there, right on the corner isle, little bags of "sweeties"! (I try to never look for them because I know I'll get them). But there, RIGHT THERE, were little bags of all kinds of sweet things; no cooking, baking, mixing....right there...in a bag. So, I got 5 bags of them. But, as a suggestion for those that might like a quick, easy "sweetie" in the evening....Butterfinger Bites!!! Never had one. Glass of milk and some "bites" and it was really good. Also had to try my Snickers and Kit Kat minis...with some TruMoo chocolate milk. All this after my big fried shrimp dinner platter with fries and hush puppies.

I guess there's a reason I gain weight like crazy here and have to go back to W TX to sweat it off, but, if you haven't tried the above just go get a bag, or 3, and give them a whirl when you're looking for a "sweetie". Just a heads up for those so inclined and wanted to share.

Uggg, I love all things chocolate but it’s instant heart burn! Plus trying to lose weight so sweeties for me are Quest Keto cookies. Pretty good with the Fair Life milk that’s filtered. Half’s the calories and takes out the lactose. Glad you found butter fingers! They are good

Ok, I used to eat an entire tub of Ben &Jerry ice cream every night. Then they tripled the price and I was cured.

Latest downfall: chips ahoy fudge filled and to keep it low cal, a glass of 2% milk. I swear I only eat 1/2 the package.

A Twinkie washed down with Diet Coke then a little ice cream bar. Being diabetic it doesn't happen often.

My weakness is dark chocolate. I have to ration myself and make sure I eat lots of fibre, because the choc gums me up.
My other weakness is cashews.

Fair Life Chocolate Milk and a Peppermint Patty are hard to beat.

Mom always had dessert with coffee after our evening meals so I blame her for my addiction! The list is endless, but my current fave is molasses cookies from our local Raley's bakery with a cup of cold milk or a mug of coffee. Those round brown beauties are dusted with a little bit of sugar so the upper lip lick is a delight with every bite. I just gained half a pound writing about them!

When we are in Chetek (Northern Wisconsin) for the summer our weakness is the Dairy Queen one mile from the RV park. Yes, I know this isn't real ice cream. I am from Wisconsin and know high butterfat quality ice cream. But in their defense, the Heath Bar Blizzard and the Butterfinger Blizzard are wonderful things about 9:00 PM. We share a medium and alternate flavors. I might like to have a molasses cookie with mine! And maybe alternate with a couple Twinkies and Snicker Bite-size.

Ha! Never even heard of a Swedish Fish but upon my extensive research (Google) I see there are Swedish Fish Oreos (chocolate)! Now THAT is something I can sink my "teeth" into!

Wintergreen Lifesavers. I’m usually pretty good about staying away from them. But our daughter wanted some from the store - and now I am lost. Sadly, I will eat them until I get sick so it’s easier to just not buy any to begin with. This time, I’m trying a little restraint.

I don't crave sweeties, it's salty that floats my evening boat.
A toasty hot soft pretzel and an ice cold Stella in a frosted chalice.
