Paleo and calorie friendly sweets cravings?

[Maithuna]

So, I'm making a slow effort to turn my diet paleo, and calories are paramount as I have a very significant amount of weight to lose. However, I'm currently on medication that makes me crave sweets intensely all day long, and I'm not going to be able to go off this medication for at least two years, if I'm lucky. Does anyone have any recipes or snack ideas that might help with the cravings?

quality dark chocolate (80% or higher) is quite tasty.

I eat dates when I get get sugar cravings. Sometimes I stuff them with almonds. I always buy pitted dates. It doesn't take too many to get over the craving. Also, I drink Stash Licorice Tea.  It satisfies my sweet tooth.

I don't really follow Paleo, but Meringues are delicious and some of them are 1 or 2 calories for a bag.

Depending on the season, I would say grapes, oranges, berries or cherries. They're all pretty sweet to satisfy a sugar craving. For a shelf-stable snack, then look at dried fruits like dried apricots or cherries and raisins.
