Tropit ... Glad you and the pooches enjoyed the brussels sprouts "treats".
Sorry, but for me, that is a total ewwwwwwwww ick!
To help get me through the munchies, I have always found I need protein.
Can be the traditionals of meat, cheese, yogurt, etc. ...... or nuts.
But like you said, nuts aren't that unhealthy, but oh so high on the calories.
Too, can we ever stop at one? let alone a few?
That's where they become a problem.
One that has worked for me is Roasted Chic Peas. Do them much the same as you did the brussels sprouts. Maybe even as a mixture? At the least, they could be done in the same oven, and have them ready for when the urge strikes!

Have you tried riced Cauliflower? It is so good. I started by using half rice or pasta and half cauliflower. No one knew the difference. Now I make all my stir-fries using cauliflower instead of rice. Saves a lot of carbs.

That is surprisingly good. I've been trying to do that too. Cauliflower and rice used to make, "fried rice," is super yummy.
