Trying to break a bad movie-snacking habit. Need help finding a healthy sweet replacement!

Hey, guys!

I'm an obese guy trying to lose weight, and I've a problem: I have a ritual of always eating while watching a movie or TV show.

I would eat:

  • A big bowl of popcorn
  • Soda
  • A high-calorie sweet snack (like a whole chocolate bar, cookies (usually the whole package), etc.)

I did this almost every day, and it became a source of comfort. If I skipped it, I would get in a really bad mood, so it's been very hard to break this habit. But to lose weight, I know this has to change. My new plan is to limit this habit to just the weekends and make it healthier:

  • Popcorn: I think I can maintain it since it's a low-calorie food and I love that it's high-volume, so it lasts long.
  • Soda: I'll swap to diet soda, which is no problem for me.
  • Sweet snack: This is where I'm stuck. The sweet snack after the popcorn is the hardest part for me to replace, I can't think of alternatives.

What are your suggestions for a healthy sweet snack that I can munch on while watching a movie? I'm looking for something to replace that "chocolate bar" feeling without derailing my weight loss.

Thanks!
