Interest piqued.
Well it is a small container, but i split it in two and put it on half a low cal english muffin for a 100 calorie snack. If I were at home, I would take a pic and post it, but I am at work!
Oh, google it!0 -
not sure what they are called...maybe chocolate dunkers? long, thin chocolate chip cookies with a layer of chocolate on the back. they are totally part of the reason why i am on mfp! they are sooooooooooooo good.0

Snacks section:
Mini savory soy crackers or their regular rice crackers

All of their pureed soups in the cartons
Frozen section:
Hold the cone mini ice cream cones (only 70 cal and very rich, gets you a quick sweet fix without overdoing it)
Mini soy vanilla ice cream sandwiches
Frozen chicken/vegetable wonton soups are good to stash in the freezer at work
