Dried apricots and dried apple are good too as they're chewy and sort of give you that feeling like you're chomping sweets, but again, they have micronutrients and aren't those awful 'empty' calories that's in choc or other candy and theyre slower release sugars so you don't peak then crash.

All easier said than done I know! I have a Crunchie bar in the fridge that I swear is communicating with me telepathically.
I really like trail mix, LS, although I must admit that sort of load mine up with semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels.
