Listen up, snack-chewers! We've got a crazy-amazing product find for you... About a week and a half ago, we started hearing from subscribers about 100-calorie Newtons Fruit Crisps. People were RAVING about them, so we ran out and scoured supermarket shelves for these things. OMG, they are INSANE!
We are singling them out and giving them their own story because, quite frankly, they deserve it. We say these Fruit Crisps are the most unique 100-calorie item we've seen in 2008 (okay, possibly EVER). And we LOVE them (almost too much!). Now for our description... Each pack contains TWO large, flakey, crispy, fruit-filled rectangles of deliciousness that taste like the love child of a McDonald's baked pie and a Pop-Tart.
Y-U-M! Both flavors -- Mixed Berry a nd Apple Cinnamon -- ROCK! Each 100-cal twin pack has just 2g fat and a POINTS® value of 2*. Run (don't walk, jog or skip) to your local market and buy them. And if you can't find these things, DEMAND them. Trust us on this one, PLEEEEEEEEEASE!

    Oh yeah--they rock!

    I found them last week and have been using them for my snacks while bike riding--REALLLY GOOD! And, not bad as far as sodium, fat, etc.

    Hi

    Where can I find these?
    Are they located by the fig newton cookies or the 100 cal snack bars?

    Thanks, kim

    I think I am officially the only one not entirely loving these. I don't care much for pop tarts and that is what they reminded me of but maybe a little crispier. They taste nothing like fig newtons.

    I found them in the cookie aisle.

    Pop-Tarts? I don't think they taste like Pop-Tarts at all. More like crispy apple pie!

    Bought some apple ones today...they are good Even my hubby, who is a "trying to reform sugar addict" liked them. So if he can eat them and say "yum" then they MUST be good!

    I will get the mixed berry ones next.
