I like these: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Diamond-Almonds-Habanero-tubes/dp/B004051ATQ/
Best in the 100 calorie pack form.
They are dangerously tasty and its easy to over indulge.
Same happened to me, and then I figured I can snack on things like cheese! It's delicious! I just don't keep sweet things that could throw me out of keto around, and when I'm out with friends getting snacks, I pick up some cheese or jerky!
If you're really looking for something sweet, these are absolutely incredible. (just try your best not to eat all of them)
These are my go to flavor

MEAL 1:
I really only ate two meals during this cut. I typically do half a pound of chicken breast, and 3 servings of broccoli and cauliflower and a ton of siracha. Without hot sauce I would not be able to eat this clean...
MEAL 2:
4 eggs ( I get the 660mg of omega 3 eggs) 4 strips of bacon or 4 sausage patties depending on what I bought
I also snack on almonds. I like the ones below because I'm not good at portion control.

I also snack on quest bars or 85% chocolate if I need something sweet. Chcolate chip cookie dough and apple pie are my favorite (apple pie are higher in carbs though...)
Overall my rough caloric intake was 1800 calories as I was trying to cut weight agressively. I aimed for 150-170 grams of protein and was usually under 30 grams of carbs.
Not low cal per volume, but I eat the following mostly for being able to divide into appropriately sized portions. You'll have to exercise portion control, rather than snacking "out of the package," but I tend to find an appropriately sized high-fat snack does well to stave off hunger.
As /u/slater125 pointed out, you're best off buying the almonds in bulk. I can get bulk organic almonds for like $6/lb at my local grocery store. And here is a 4lb bag of almonds for $18 on amazon. Though those are dry roasted, not raw.
Why raw? And do you know that 99% of "raw" almonds are actually still pasteurized - usually by a steam method? You can get around it a couple of ways, they mention them in the article. Luckily in my town, I can find truly raw Spanish and Italian almonds. And you can taste the difference, they have a very bitter taste, it kind of makes my tongue feel numb. If you've ever had raw apricots, it's a similar bitterness, just not as strong. Raw apricots might be a good alternative. You're supposed to eat like 7 of them a day or something and if you do, they have an anti-cancer property. But personally I can't stand the way they taste.
Actually, annin tofu is not made with actual tofu! It's called that due to the texture of the gelatinized milk, cream, and sugar mixture. The flavor comes from annin powder which you can buy from shops in east Asia. The powder I used here was from Taiwan meant for making drinks similar to this one. I just used a regular pastry cream recipe and swapped the vanilla extract for the annin powder. Texture was the same as a pretty standard cream filling. Was super tasty since I love annin flavor, similar to almond but slightly different. You could probably achieve a similar flavor by using almond extract instead, which is often done in cheap annin desserts.
I wish they had bigger containers of them though! I get these guys at $3-$4 at the grocery store and I have to restrain myself from knocking the whole thing out in a single sitting haha
Almonds - either cocoa dusted orrrrr wasabi soy
The cocoa ones are phenomenal when paired with baby carrots. Seriously. I have converted everyone at work already. You're next.
Blue Diamond Almonds Jalapeno Smokehouse are my favorite snack. You get the crunch, the flavor, and just enough heat. I'm also fond of the regular smoked ones as well.
here and here are also acceptable choices.
Blue Diamond Habenero BBQ almonds. Oh...oh god. They're the best substitute BBQ chips I've found, PERIOD. A whole can is 12 carbs total, so you can eat a handful or two and be totally fine!!

These taste just like cinnamon toast crunch. I bet they would be amazing in some heavy cream. Maybe add some milled flax too?
There's something that I feel I should share with you, but you need to understand that you cannot eat the whole jar. You have to savor it. Lots of savoring, since it's pretty calorie dense, but it's my single favorite thing in this keto world. I like to nom it while I watch Dr. Who and drink Fresca...
I give you... chocolate almond butter.
I take about one serving size and put it a glass salsa/sauce cup, kinda like this. Don't try to put it in a real cup or in a bowl, it'll look pitiful. Anyway, once you have it in this little bitty sauce cup, eat it with your spoon... very slowly. I like to have it to absentmindedly 'munch' on because I can dip the very tip of the spoon in it and eat it. It's really strongly flavored so you don't need much at all.
It gives the same kind of experience as eating popcorn or ice cream in that it gives you something tasty and something to do with your hands absentmindedly while you focus on other things... but because it's so strongly flavored you can consume less of it and get the same enjoyment.
Most of my carb allowance is spent on almonds, either in this form or in this form.
Next time I buy a bag of candy like this I'll be sure to send them allllll to you.
