NOM NOM!

My parents have always been into Skinny Cow products, but I was never a huge fan of their ice cream sandwiches. However, when I saw that they had come out with a new line of candy, I decided to give it a try; I'm always looking for low-cal treats. I'm a HUGE sweets person, and I absolutely love dessert, so instead of denying myself, I try to find less "naughty" versions of things that I love. I'm a fan of the Jello chocolate mousse cups that weigh in at like, 60 calories each.

Anyway, I picked up a box of Heavenly Crisps the other day and found them quite good, particularly for only 110 calories. The milk chocolate is smooth, and the filling is sweet but not cloyingly so. They satisfied my sweet tooth, and I'm going to try the peanut butter variety soon.

But a few weeks ago, our supermarket got in Dreamy Clusters in both milk and dark chocolate. They're caramel clusters with crispy rice, coated in chocolate. They're packed in little bags, each of which contains about 5-6 candies, for 120 calories.

You guys, these things are amazing. They're chewy but not take-out-your-molars chewy, and the chocolate tastes rich and decadent. There's no hint of the chalky flavors you sometimes get with low-cal chocolate. Again, one package was enough to satisfying my cravings for chocolate. If I tried these alongside full-fat chocolates, I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference. And bonus, they have fiber!

These things get a 9 out of 10 on the Awesome Meter. Good stuff - thanks, Skinny Cow!

You can find 'em at most grocery and drug stores. Target and Wal-Mart also carry them.
