I'm the same way with treats. I find good homemade ones very hard to
resist.

I've started making pies in little canning jars and storing them in the
freezer.

Then I can just bake a single serving and be done with it. Same with
cookies - I bake a few right away but portion the rest of the dough into
the freezer. For me it's much less temptation in the freezer and I only
pull out a treat occasionally this way.
