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?

Sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream.
Or
Bag of fruit pastilles.

It's fairly recent for me - since I turned 40, I've found that my metabolism threw the brakes on and if I put pounds on it's incredibly hard work to shed them again.
I also have psoriasis and finally got serious about cutting down some food triggers.

I had a mindset shift and decided that I have to "eat like an adult" which helped to prevent me from hoovering up the kids' lunchbox snacks Blush. It was deliberate for about six weeks and then it became a habit, now it's just me.

I do this already!
Last week I had a jam donut midweek on a picnic and some tiramisu on Sunday.
Delicious, I enjoyed them very much but realise they’re best kept as occasional treats rather than every day (which I used to do many moons ago Grin - oh youth!!).

A big ice cream like a sundae or a tub with different flavoured scoops and a bar of chocolate.

Aw no that would be torture for me as I've such a sweet tooth! Probably a Chocolate mousse (the trifle style ones) and a slice of chocolate cheesecake.

Homemade cake and cheesecake. I’d be happy with that as I’d prefer crisps and popcorn anyway.

I’m not a massive sweet treat fan so I’d just go for ice cream. 2nd choice would be crisps

No thanks. Wouldn't mind some chip shop chips, though.

Maybe we could have two savoury treats a week as well? 😋 🐷

Jaffa cakes and chocolate hob nobs dipped in tea. Some days I survive almost entirely on those foods (night shifts are bad for you!)

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!

Ginger biscuits

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