It's that time of year again. Gingerbread men start knocking at your door, white chocolate peppermint bark is calling you on the phone, and Sugar-cookies are dancing in your head. That's right, it's Christmas time and that means Christmas treats. And they really start showing up everywhere. Office parties, family get togethers, and even the occasional trip to the grocery store now means coming face to face with sugary high carb goodies. So what can you do to not fall to the temptation of theses yummy treats? Run dummy. 

Just kidding. You cant run from that gingerbread boy. He is as fast as fast can be. But you can plan to meet these treats head on and have some options with you to relieve the temptation. Here's some things to stick in your pocket to help you at this time of year and get thought the harsh tempting Christmas season.

1. Atkins Cinnamon Bun Bar - This bar has always been a personal favorite of mine. Probably because of its cinnamon roll properties. The reason I suggest this bar above others to bring along is because cinnamon is a flavor that often shows itself around the holidays in cookies, cakes, and even apple cider. and this bar seems to fit in with that motif pretty well. Oh yeah, and its super yummy. 

2. Russell Stover Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Medallions - i love these things. If you love chocolate you can't go wrong. I like to suck on them so the chocolate melts in my mouth slowly. its a great way to combat the need for chocolate and they make a great stocking stuffer for you low carb friends. 

3. Low Carb Peanut Butter Fudge - Christmas Holidays and fudge go together like Dr. Atkins and Heart Attack rumors. You just got to do it. So why not cook up a quick batch of this low carbs stuff to have at the next christmas party and then go eat it all alone in the corner. Add some low carb chocolate while you are at it. 

4. Russell Stover Sugar free Chocolate Covered Peanuts - These are nice cause you can bring a bag and snack on a couple over a period. Helps to separate the cravings I think. These are great for the Christmas trip to the movies too.

There are plenty more options, be these are a few. 'So what do you guys do the help with the cravings? Any tricks to share?

Make a cup of favorite coffee, heavy cream (for creamer), whipped cream, crushed sugar free peppermint sprinkled on the whipped cream. Very festive and satisfying!!
