LITTLE ROCK — WHAT: Dove Miniatures (ice cream)

STATS: Each individually wrapped bar contains 60 calories and 4 fat grams. Sold in boxes of 12.

THE SKINNY: I often hear people say less is more.

And I often think, “So, can I have your share then?”

But while I’m a confessed fan of quantity, I realize that sometimes a little quality goes further.

Like in the case of these Dove Miniatures frozen treats (available in French vanilla or chocolate). Each small (about three bites’ worth; one on a hungrier day) dark chocolatecovered ice cream nugget is so remarkably rich and gratifying, I don’t immediately want another.

But I’ll still take yours for later if you don’t want it.
