Your best bet is fruit! It's full of natural sugars and completely free on plan. Also free on plan are Muller Lights, they might help to kick that sweet craving.

Other sweet stuff that are low in Syns are:
- Pink'n'Whites (wafers & marshmallow): 2.5 Syns each
- HiFi Light / Alpen Light bars: 3 Syns each
- Freddo: 5 Syns each
- 2 finger KitKat's: 5.5 Syns each
- Curly Wurly: 6 Syns each

I love a curly wurly when I have a craving! The new cookies and cream Kit Kats (5.5) are also AMAZING!

I tend to have either an alpen light summer fruits bar or Kallo (a thin rice cake with a layer of dark choc(2syns)goes well with a coffee =)

If you've never had a sweet tooth before, and are suddenly craving sweet things... could it be your own mind that's trying to scupper your efforts?

I find that a curly wurly and a cuppa work for me when i have sugar cravings.

I crave sweet things at night and either have a curly (6 syns) or a weetabix bar (the toffee ones are really sweet! They are 4.5 syns or a healthy b). Or if I crave biscuits a few Rich teas (2 syns each) with a cup of tea!

Just remembered, werthers originals sugar free sweets are half a syn each. 1 in each side of ya gob and it's a perfect sweet hit for just 1 syn

I have 1/2 a tub of quark with some sweetener (Splenda for me) stirred through for a syn free sweet fix. It tastes so sweet that it really takes your sweet craving away once you've eaten it

Meringue nest - (3 syns), fat free yorgurt and chopped fruit on top - hits the spot for me every time
