THM Store Bought Desserts

December 7, 2020 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Looking for easy THM store bought desserts that you can grab at your local grocery store or on Amazon?

This huge list will give you tons of options that you can treat yourself with while staying on plan and not having to bake a thing. 

23 Store Bought THM Desserts

If you have been on THM for a little bit, you may be seeking some easy ideas for sweet treats after a meal. One of the fun things about Trim Healthy Mama is that you can have your cake and eat it too! 

And while there on tons of treats that you can make at home, sometimes an on plan store bought dessert is just what you need to make it through. Eat it at home, keep some in your purse or at the office to always be able to make good choices when that sweet tooth hits.

THM Store Bought Desserts 

I struggled with whether or not I should write this post. Mostly because I don’t want to discourage you from trying the plan because a lot of these items listed are expensive when you compare them to their sugar filled alternative.

However, I have a few comments on this. #1. These THM store bought desserts are not meant to be binged on. And while you may see people eating a slice of Trimtastic cake for breakfast, I use these treats for what they are – treats. 

Have the recommended serving size after a meal or as a snack for something to satisfy your sweet tooth as needed. 

#2. When you follow the portion control for these desserts, the cost works out to be reasonable. For example, I usually find that a Lily’s chocolate bar in my town is $3.99 not on sale. You get 4 servings from that bar. So while $4 for a chocolate bar seems steep, $1 per serving isn’t too bad. 

So please don’t be discouraged by these prices! If you can’t afford the store bought items, there are plenty of things that you can make that are on plan and less expensive. 

Also, it isn’t like I have all of these THM store bought desserts at my house at one time. Normally I might by a couple of items per week. Do what works for you, your family & your grocery budget. 

And what you have been waiting for, here is the list of Trim Healthy Mama treats that you can buy at the store!

THM On Plan Ice Cream 

Halo Top  FP 1/2 cup is the serving size (Try this pumpkin Ice Cream pie)

Breyer’s Carb Smart S

Rebel S

THM On Plan Cookies

High Key Cookies S

Fat Snax S

THM Protein Cookie  S

THM On Plan Chocolate

85% Dark Chocolate – S, Probably the most economical store bought chocolate. Aldi has this one that is on plan or you can buy any dark chocolate that is over 85%

Lily’s Chocolate Bars – S, Since these are sweetened with Stevia, you can eat the dark, milk or white chocolate on plan. Salted caramel milk chocolate is my favorite. 

Choc Zero Chocolate Squares or Bark – S

Bake Believe Bars S (All Varieties)

Butterfly Bars S

Chocolate Chips

Lily’s Chocolate Chips S (All varieties)

Bake Believe Chips S (All varieties)

Trim Healthy Chocolate Chips  S

Fruity & Gummy On Plan Options

Smart Sweets – Personal Choice

Kiss My Keto Gummies – Personal Choice

Sour Raisins – E (these haven’t been confirmed by admins but I eat them because the numbers work and everything above the less than 2% is on plan – you just want to not overdo raisins. So I only eat one pack at a time (although I could eat 10 – so good!) If you like sour stuff and fruit snacks – give these a try. They totally satisfy that craving for me & my kids love them too. 

THM On Plan Cakes 

Smart Cakes – Personal Choice FP 

Nush – Personal Choice S 

Other On Plan Sweet Treats 

Fresh Berries with Fat Free Reddi Whip (Serving size on FF Reddi Whip is one Capful) – FP

Legendary Foods Peanut Spread S

Pyure Hazelnut Spread – Personal Choice S 

Keto Farms Maple Candied Pecans – S

Holidays with young kids are some of my favorite times. Seeing the excitement with all the decorations and fun treats warms a mama’s heart. But if you have young kids at home, you know that time thing is not always abundant.

You may have high hopes of creating homemade chocolate cupcakes with perfectly hand rolled witch hats made of fondant. But then the 4 year old wants to play barbies, the 10 year old needs to go to basketball practice and the baby needs to well, eat.

So your Halloween cupcake dreams are momentarily crushed. Now you are staring at the grocery store shelves looking for something easy and also cute (probably with a toddler screaming at your feet).

To make the Halloween season go a little smoother, we have collaborated with some great bloggers to bring you 9 store bought Halloween party foods to make in less than 5 minutes!

9 Store Bought Halloween Party Foods to Make in Less than 5 Minutes

My kids probably get more excited about a Halloween Oreo than they would about any fancy dessert that I could create. Note that I said “would.” Elaborate desserts are a thing I enjoyed before kids. No bake, done in 5 minutes are a little more my style these days. Especially since little man has decided to learn to walk and is in to everything.

Here are 9 store bought Halloween party foods to make for your kids school party. These are also great for a fun October lunch or dinner treat.

Mummy Snack Cakes I can’t believe how much these look like a tiny mummy and it took me no time at all to make thanks to my BFF, her name is Little Debbie.

Easy No Bake Halloween Mummy Snack Cake

Ghost Snack Cakes A simple ghost face on a delicious white chocolate ding dong is sure to make your kid smile.

No Bake Halloween Snack Cake Ghost

 

Pumpkin Cupcakes These are great because they are not spooky at all. Perfect for a school or church fall harvest party.

Harvest Party No Bake Pumpkin Cupcakes

Spooky Eyeball Sandwich  by Kimspired DIY – Such a fun lunch option for the Halloween season! I make a million PB&J’s a month so why not make it into an eyeball!

Jack O Lantern Mandarin Orange Cups by Mission to Save – Fruit disguised in a Halloween costume is always welcome at my house. Sugar sure is fun but gosh the kids get so much of it this time of year. I want to put these in the lunchbox for school.

Halloween Witch Hat Cookies  by Princess Pinky Girl – These cute witch cookies have an oreo base and just four ingredients.

Vampire Donuts by the Happy Family Blog –  I know my kids would love the donuts but the bagel idea is another great way to add some Halloween fun to your table with a low sugar item.

Pudding Bat by The Inspiration Edit –  These pudding bats are so adorable! If you need a prepackaged item for a class party, this is a unique dessert to send.

Ghost Cheese Sticks & Jack O Lantern Cuties by Sizzling Eats – Great non-candy options to put in a lunch box that are still fun and festive.

I hope these 9 store bought Halloween party foods to make in less than 5 minutes help to get you time for an extra cup of coffee (oh & make your kids super happy)!
