If you could only have two sweet treats a week, what would they be?

By sweet treat I mean - a piece of cake, a serving of pudding, a small chocolate bar, a couple of biscuits.

So ... strictly only two per week. What would you choose?

Bakewell Tart
Eccles Cake

But would much rather have salted (never flavoured) crisps, cheese and crackers or fish and chips, given the choice.

Gregg’s Cream apple danish or an AMT almond croissant

Ice cream sundae.

I’ll have to try this Tony’s chocolate everyone likes.

I have decided that any sweet treat that isn't chocolate is basically a waste of calories. Cake etc is delightful but doesn't really do it for me as a satisfying treat. Only chocolate does that.

Chocolate cake is a mystery to me. JUST EAT CHOCOLATE!

A dark chocolate Bounty and a fresh cream donut.

A slice of some kind of frangipane tart, like pear or apricot, with cream. A scoop of good ice cream, preferably nutty.

@BullshitVivienne


Just for you...

I'm seriously low carbing (I'm diabetic & it controls my blood sugars without needing metformin etc)



When I'm 'on the Wagon' a few frozen berries on my total yogurt is as big a treat as it gets 🙄

If I wasn't diabetic/low Carbing...I'd have to rotate my way through all the options!!!

But Rhum Baba from mathilde in France & French ice cream would be right on up there!


Bloody diabetes! 🤬

Yeo valley yoghurt is like he Rolls-Royce of yogurt though. Their black currant yoghurt is to die for.

I'd have to have a powder sugared ring donut and some phish food ice cream. Although I'd miss crumble, which I love completely but eat rarely

I've been doing this for the past few weeks, hoping to make it a habit. I find I'm eating less junk just for the sake of it and actually picking food I enjoy. Next week will probably be some Tony's chocolate- I have a few bars at home. I love icecream with stuff so either ben and Jerry's or a snickers/ peanut butter cup icecream sundae from a place near where I work.

I would say I only have 1/2 sweet treats a week. This week it was a piece of butterscotch cake and some Tony’s honeycomb & almond chocolate. But a scone with clotted cream would be my favourite.

My weakness is chips. I’d gladly forgo anything sweet for a plate of fish & chips.

Banana bread
Ginger biscuits

But like some others I'd rather trade them for crisps!

I have sweet treats at the weekend only (usually - this week was different) and I normally have a bar of milk chocolate one day and 3 chocolate chip cookies the other day. It's the lidl variety of fox's chocolate chip cookies and they're REALLY good!
