What does anyone think of them? Good diet food snake? Bad?

For my diet to work I need something small and sweet to keep the craving at bay that wont make me go overboard and eat something bigger with lots of sugar thats bad.

    I love them, I don't think they are that bad for you but I guess some will argue that something like a good dark chocolate square would be better for your chocolate cravings.

    I like them, but not as much as the regular fat free jello puddings. Right now my fix for a chocolate/sweet craving are the new Skinny Cow candy...oh so yummy!!!

    I've tried some, and they aren't bad if you have a craving to fill. My other choice is the Yoplait Delights chocolate raspberry parfait. It's yogurt (100 cals) but tastes like dessert! I keep some in the fridge just in case I have a chocolate attack!!! The prepackaged aspect keeps me from overdoing it!!!

    I don't think they're even worth the 60 or 70 cals. The texture is too light and a little slimy. Instead, try mixing 1 T. of Jell-O's sugar free/fat free powder into 6 oz. Greek yogurt. It really hits the spot!

    I tried the lemon meringue one and it tasted TERRIBLE. Threw it out, and said no more.

    these never FIX my cravings. One square of dark, dark chocolate or one glass of red wine will totally do a better job

    My new love for the sweet cravings is a Fudgecicle! The box says "No sugar added" and they are only 40 calories! They actually take care of my cravings for chocolate AND ice cream!

    I love them! But I freeze mine so the consistency is better, plus it takes me longer to eat it frozen so I feel more satisfied. :)

    It's 1 tablespoon of the powder (about 1/6 of the package). 1 tablespoon is about 25 calories and has 5 g carbs

    I just tried the French Silk Pie one and it was amazingly delicious! It had a very chocolaty taste, with a creamy pudding-type texture (with whipped topping on top) I did not get the sugar free, since that is dangerous in my household (partner has seizures from it), so I had the regular, 140 calories with sugar. YUM!
