Do you eat many sweets? Have a favorite?

I don't really like sweets, except for dark chocolate, donuts with sprinkles 🍩, cinnamon pastries, vanilla ice cream 🍦, cake 🎂, pie, root beer floats, cheese cake, marshmallows, fudge, brownies, hot chocolate, blondies, zucchini bread, frosting, caramel, cappuccino, cookies 🍪, raspberry jelly, and fluffernutter sandwiches..

Other than that, I don't touch the stuff! 😁

@Aunt Bea. I think I’ll make that Crunch tomorrow.

Both my husband and I like sweets and usually have them twice a day. For lunch it might be something like Fruit Slices and I don’t mean the actual fruit, they’re the red or orange gummy treats. Only two allowed. For dinner it would be a sliver of pie or cake with French Vanilla ice cream, the good stuff. For me, it the slice is about the size of two fingers (my fingers are small.). I don’t snack between meals or after dinner.

I rarely eat sweets. My problem is I can't stop once I start. So, I don't keep sweets in the house.

I'm the opposite, when i have options i eat less. Knowing there'll be something i like available when i 'want' it, i'm generally satisfied with smaller quantities at a time and eat less sweets over the course of a week than some people eat in a day or a sitting. Pretty sure its result of some aspects of my childhood.

Dark chocolate tops my list. Learned in my late teens that a much smaller quantity of dark chocolate would satisfy my chocolate cravings than what it took of milk chocolate. Post menopause the actual cravings stopped but i still like the flavor.
Crystallized ginger is a favorite too, and again just a small bit a day satisfies.
 
Abso wootwee!

Am a thin lively someone that does not have an issue eating excessive sugars/carbs. Bought this 5 pound block in December as my solo person Christmas present and will eat last piece before the month's end, so 4 month's worth of self control nibbling away I could easily have done in a binging day. For $40 will buy another this coming week. They do have a version with marbled chocolate.

I make ice cream or pudding with a meal replacement shake I use. It is sugar free and healthy and comes in many flavors so whatever I crave I can make. I have an ice cream maker so just put it in that. Ice cream was my weakness but haven't had any since November now.
 
Love all things sweet, I usually bake or make something once a week. Right now the thing I am eating are grapes, both green and red. This year must be a really good crop, large, juicy and sweet. Can't wait until July for the watermelon.

This sounds good, I may try it, I've been on a diet for several months, so no sweets but I daydream about Cherry Limeade sherbet.
 
Lindt dark chocolate truffles. Super good, and also reasonable. The regular grocery stores in the area carry them...

I really don't eat too many sweets, because of blood sugar issues. But I have a taste now and then.
 
I limit sweets, but I indulge in dark chocolate in moderation. It can be straight up by itself or in a dessert. I love a small piece of rich dark chocolate flourless cake with fresh whipped cream and also enjoy just about any type of creamy dessert, chocolate or not... pudding, pots de crème, panna cotta, sherbet, ice cream... mmmm, yes, please! 😊

I used to have an American pen-pal who sent me a box of maple syrup candy. I really enjoyed it but have never seen it on sale in Britain so haven't been able to eat it again.
I like chocolate peppermint creams, which also happen to be a favourite of the queen.
 
I think this is another case of words meaning different things. In the UK, 'Sweets' or sweeties as we sometimes say would seem to be 'Candies'.
I try to limit my intake of sweeties as once I start, I can't stop till the bag is empty. My favourite is 'Wine gums' - although unfortunately, they don't contain alcohol! As a child, we used to call a small paper bag, a 'poke', so it was a treat to get a wee 'Poke of sweeties'. I still sometimes use the term.
