WHAT: Nonni's Biscotti in fall flavors
STATS: One biscotti contains 110 calories and 4 fat, 16-17 carbohydrate, zero fiber and 2 protein grams. One box contains eight individually wrapped cookies. More information at nonnis.com.
THE SKINNY: I'd like a biscotti please, hold the coffee.
At least that's my order whenever I go to a coffee shop. I get no joy from java, but I'm captivated by the super crunchy cookies, which are less caloric than you might think.
And there's no coffee shop required. Nonni's sells a variety of biscotti in grocery stores (regular, Biscotti Bites and Thin Addictives) in various flavors. A serving of any flavor -- from Triple Chocolate and Salted Caramel to Very Berry -- is typically 110 calories.
For fall, Nonni's has introduced two new limited-edition flavors: Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread, perfect for a not-too-indulgent seasonal indulgence.
