Skinny Cow Mochaccino ice cream candy bars

STATS: Vary by flavor. The Double Caramel Swirl bar, for example, contains 180 calories and 10 fat, 21 carbohydrate, 2 fiber, 16 sugar and 3 protein grams. We found some flavors at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, 2510 Cantrell Road, Little Rock. More information at skinnycow.com.

THE SKINNY: For some, ice cream is an annual summer treat.

For us, it's a perennial. So we're always looking for lighter, lick-worthy frozen treats.

Skinny Cow's latest flavors fit the bill. New Ice Cream Bars -- well, ice skim milk bars -- include Double Caramel Swirl, Vanilla Almond Crunch and Triple Chocolate Ripple (sold in boxes of six). There's also a new Mochaccino Frozen Candy Bar (sold in boxes of five).

The caramel ice cream bar and the mocha candy bar are tasty enough to appease the sweets-seeking boyfriend who ferrets through your freezer. Which means you might want to share them. Or, if you're like us, you might want to hide them.
