Hi Sarah,
I make a batch of the SW mini Quiches up with quark at the weekend then they are in the fridge to grab when hunger strikes! other ideas are cooked chicken pieces/drumsticks (with Skin off) babybels or cheese triangles if you have your HEXA to use, Alpen light bars are only 4 syns i think, boiled eggs always handy - again i do a few and save in fridge.
hope that helps! xx

Weetabix muffins are my saviour! I save my HEXB for evening, crumble 2 weetabix and mix with 2 beaten eggs, a tablespoon of sweetner, half a tub of quark and an options/highlights sachet. Mix together and put in muffin cases in oven at 180 for 20 mins. Lovely! I sometimes make them for breakfast and snack on them through the day.

What sort of things do you like snacking on? Sweet or savoury?

My favourite slobbing in front of the TV snacks are:
Vegetable crisps. (using a mandolin finely slice celeriac, carrot and beetroot - place on a baking tray in one layer - spray with fry light and sprinkle with salt - or if you like salt and vinegar crisps get some of this:
which is AWESOME) and place in an oven for about 10 minutes or until the crisps are ready! You can also do a potato this way - you're meant to syn them if you do but I think as a once a week treat it's not too big a deal.
Sweet - 1 tub of quark with options stirred through with defrosted frozen cherries. A bit like black forest gateau cheesecake.
My absolute favourite is frozen cherries warmed through in the microwave until warm, with cold greek yogurt and a drizzle of syrup - a couple of syns at most.

I really fancy trying the beetroot and carrot "crisps" - am going to treat myself to a mandolin (can see a hospital visit in the near future though)

I'm the same. I'm never really hungry just get the munchies! At the moment I just combat it by trying to keep busy, or having a long bath, instead of sitting watching the TV.
I'm not really a fan of diet foods, I'd rather have a little butter or sugar than a lot of margarine and sweetener, if you know what I mean. So if I really need something to nibble on I go for a few squares of chocolate or a packet of crisps and syn them.

You might also like to think of things you could do while watching television which don't involve eating - something to keep your hands busy.

I love the sweet and savoury mug shots which are free. I also like to freeze the Turkish Delight flavoured muller light yoghurts. These feel like you're having a really indulgent snack, but are free also.
I make the pasta based quiche as well, which is free and so satisfying and filling!

Technically it's a tweak and SW do not advocate the usage of veggies like this as you reduce their filling power and could potentially harm your losses at the scales.
I challenged an area manager regarding syncing them and she said that a large batch could potentially get to about 10 syns so proceed with caution!
Other things you could do would be Syn free felafel, using chick peas and some other veggies so they are full of protein.
I know you said no yoghurt but I swear by danio yoghurt, I like the strawberry one is 1 syns and the passion fruit is 1 1.5 syns i am sure. they are a great wee treat when I feel like im going to give in and get a mars bar I get one of them. same with rocky road bars from class they are 3 syns and I feel like they are again a wee chocolaty treat. don't know how much help that is but it helps me

xThey're not for everyone, but I've been eating a lot of crabsticks since starting SW. Other than that, boiled eggs, mullerlights, gherkins. I do struggle a bit as our oven is currently broken so I can't do vegetable crisps or syn-free chips or anything like that. Just having to improvise at the moment!
