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?

I don’t have much if a sweet tooth but have just had some Lindt dark chocolate rabbit which I found at the back of a cupboard, from before lockdown ! I forgot all about him. Good.
So -
Dark chocolate - good and dark.
And
Vanilla ice cream with chopped peanuts.

I don’t tend to have a sweet tooth and can go weeks without eating anything sweet. But when I do get a craving oh boy. It’s intense. I’ve eaten more sweet stuff over the last 2 days than I probably have in months !

But if I had to answer this about savoury junk which is far more my weakness I’d say crisps and chips

Oh, I love this thread. I only have one a week, so they have to be super special - my last three treats were vanilla creams from local chocolate maker, candied chestnuts (home made), and a chelsea bun.

Ben and Jerry's for me too, one of the chocolate ones. I'd trade them for crisps though, I don't crave sweet things as much as salty crunchy things.

Is booze in or out of the sweet treat? I don’t like sweet booze but it’s all sugar calories really.
So wine if it’s my sweet treat

If not I need time to decide

Maltesers and a toffee crisp... you've made me want them now but the kids are in bed so I'm confined to barracks!

Chocolate fudge cake, a proper one with a layer of fudge not just chocolate sauce over sponge! ( with a scoop of ice cream)

Wispa chocolate bar

Mars ice cream

Apple crumble

(I had the first in mind when I opened the thread, the second is inspired by you geniuses)

Chocolate brownie and a twirl. Or Ben and jerries and apple crumble with custard. Or carrot cake and a Starbucks Frappuccino. Or a scone with clotted cream and jam and a chocolate chip cookie.

I think there's a reason I'm fat.

Tony's chocoloney pretzel milk chocolate and a yum yum/ jam doughnut.

Out of interest, the previous posters who say they do only have one or two sweet treats a week- is that deliberate? Recent? Or gave you always eaten like that? I'm trying to really look at my diet at the moment and I find it interesting hearing from people who are quite measured.
