100 Calorie Snacks

I feel strongly that vegetables have no place in desserts, be it zucchini bread or banana cupcakes. Therefore, I delegated the tasting of these Hostess 100 calorie pack carrot cakes to my husband, who declared them “the bomb-diggity.” (I tried to get him to elaborate, but that’s how he rolls.) Anyway, the cakes come three to a pack and are covered in cream cheese icing with a creamy filling. If they’re as good as the Hostess chocolate cupcakes, then they’re a definite must-eat.

I knew the Chocolate Caramel Chex mix was going to be good, having previously consumed an entire regular-sized bag of its naughty big cousin, the Chocolate Turtle Chex Mix. Sure enough, maker General Mills gets a lot of different flavors and textures into these little 100 calorie packs. They’re great for when you want something sweeter than chips or crackers, but not all-out candy.
