A blessing AND a curse.
I love me some portion control. However, my self control is lacking. It is far, far too easy to justify a second 100 calorie snack. Especially when said snacks are just big enough to remind you of what you're missing, instead of quenching a craving.

Especially when said snacks are just big enough to remind you of what you're missing, instead of quenching a craving.Which brings me to Mrs. Freshley's 100 calorie Yogurt Creme Oatmeal Cookies. This box was positioned right next to the express lane at my neighborhood grocery store - ya know, the small one you go to in between power shops at the mega mart. Apparently I'm in there far too often and they have my number as an impulse shopper.
My thought process upon seeing these:
100 Calories eh?
Ooh...looks like Little Debbie, yum.
Fiber?
Yogurt?
Oatmeal?
Aww baby, you're coming home with me. What's that? You're pricier than my typical 100-calorie pack? It's ok...I think we were meant to be.
(There may or may not have been a Barry White song in there somewhere)
However, once you get the wrapper off, disappointment sets in. I was hoping I had just gotten a factory second or something. It was SO SMALL!
Not one to discriminate snack food based on size, I gave it a try anyway (I mean, it was already in my hand). Well, yeah - this thing is freaking delicious. It is like a really little Little Debbie. If you're a will-power wonder woman, this is the snack for you. The cookie is super moist, the creamy middle is, well, creamy and sweet. It's really good. So good, in fact, that if I were left unsupervised, the box of 8 tiny cookies would be gone in a flurry of cardboard and cellophane.
