let's take a moment to talk about 100 Calorie Snacks. now, maybe this isn't specifically candy-related, but for those of us who could use some help in the fattiness department (hmmm...) this seems like it might be a convenient way to exercise a little portion control.

this weekend i tried the Oreo Candy Bites. first off, let me just say that these things really are delicious. it's almost like an inside-out oreo, with a crunchy cookie center surrounded by a thin layer of creme and then candy-coated (like an m&m.) i wouldn't go so far as to say that they taste like oreos, but they are yummy.

unfortunately, a 100-calorie portion of these comes out to .78 ounces of candy. that's right, LESS THAN ONE OUNCE. seriously, i understand that the whole "100 calorie" thing is gonna be hard to accomplish, but who is going to be satisfied with .78 ounces? furthermore, these things are surprisingly pricey for what amounts to less than 5 total ounces of food.

maybe these really do work for a certain demographic, but i wouldn't buy them again. it just doesn't seem worth it. if i need something that tastes maybe sort of a little bit like oreos, but without so much fat, i'd just eat a handful of Oreo O's.
