When I eat sweets with nuts, fresh or dried fruit and with fresh herbs and spices I feel a lot healthier. I have quite a sweet tooth too and its sometimes pleased by this:

Smoothies (Dark chocolate, banana, water and sunflowerseeds)

Fruitsalad (fresh mint/bananas/oranges/apples) with a sugar dressing (fruitjuice/sugar/cinnamon or vanilla)

Raw applecake taste very sweet. (I tried this recipe because it didnt need any fancy foods - http://www.fromsadtoraw.com/Recipes/AmazingApplePie.htm )

Bananas and other fruit dipped in dark melted chocolate and rolled around in chopped nuts and seeds (almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds)

Rhubarbs dipped in sugar

Homemade icecream/popsicles made out of fruit juice, fresh or canned fruit and sugar or/and nutbutters/cacao/ricemilk (I use this recipe with a few adaptations http://www.kaivegan.com/ )

(Homemade) Oatmeal cookies with raisins and nuts

For the sweet craving try cherries and bananas - they do work very well.

Last time I was on a diet I had a lot of porridge made with fruit juice and cinnamon or mixed spice. Apple juice and cinnamon is a classic combination, you can do half juice and half water if you like. It is sweet, and filling and comforting :)

bake some apple and put cinnamon on it. An apple is only a point, right?

this morning I had a banana with small pieces of dark chocolate inside, microwaved for a minute so the choccie melt. I don't know about WW points but it was definetly sweet, satisfying and I can think of a lot worse sweets.

I'm going to go and bake some apples now and have some swedish glace with it. I'm going to write these ideas down so i remember them for one of my desperate sweet cravings!:o
