— WHAT: Special K Pastry Crisps in new flavors

STATS: One pouch (two crisps) contains 100 calories, 2 fat grams, no fiber and 1 protein gram. More information at specialk.com. We bought them at Target on University Avenue in LittleRock.

THE SKINNY: We’ve said before that Special K Pastry Crisps (well, Fruit Crisps - the Pastry Crisps name is new) are special.

That’s because the thin, iced, filled pastries - available in blueberry and strawberry - remind us of airy low-calorie Pop Tarts.

Now Special K has introduced two more tasty 100-calorie-per-serving flavors: Chocolatey Delight and Brown Sugar Cinnamon.

Here’s hoping they’ll continue to expand the line withother Pop Tart-ian varieties (we’re thinking S’mores, Hot Fudge Sundae, Cookies & Creme ...).
