Ok so made an interesting discovery today.

Was buying some small after school treats for my son today at Tesco & they had a deal, 11individually wrapped flumps for a pound.

On the packed it says fat free so when I got home I read the rest of the package & they are only 30 cals. :happy:

For those who don't know, flumps are marshmallow twists & they are delish. :tongue:

I just had one & it satisfied my sweet craving as well as being fat free & low cal.

Just thought I'd pass it on.

    I'm in Ireland we just call them "Marshmallow Twists" I love them like you said 2 or 3 totally satisfy a sweet craving moment. Should have tried to remember that tonight when the Chocolate M&M came a calling and I could not say no!!! :laugh:

    Ooo...that is interesting news! I love Flumps!

    Also - a friend of mine alerted me to the fact that mini milks are only 30 calories. I love ice cream so they make a great guilt-free snack (and they come in chocolate now too!) :bigsmile:

    I love flumps! Also, I like caxtons pink and whites. They're like a marshmallow sandwich with wafers, 50 calories each. They satisfy my sweet craving and my craving for something crunchy!

    Being in the US, I had to google Flumps. :laugh: Makes me wonder what kind of sweets we have in the US that would baffle those in the UK (or otherwise not native.) I also had to google winegums while reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire...

    skinny cow is good but not a massive icecream fan (unless it is haagen daaz, which I dont have anymore :( ) but is a good one for deserts after sunday dinner. and the whole family can have it too without knowing they are being healthy :D
