WHAT: Skinny Cow Blissful Truffle Candy Bar

STATS: Varies slightly by flavor. The Dark Chocolate contains 130 calories and 8 fat, 11 carbohydrate, 1 fiber and 1 protein grams. More information at skinnycow.com. We found them at Walgreens, 9200 N. Rodney Parham Road, Little Rock.

THE SKINNY: The Skinny Cow has expanded its herd. In addition to frozen treats and candy, the line now includes iced coffee drinks (moo if you find them, we haven't spotted any yet) and some new chocolate bars.

The Cow's Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Truffle Candy Bars are relatively satisfying segmented bars of truffle fluff covered in chocolate.

At 130 calories, they have considerably fewer calories than, say, a Hershey Bar (210). But they are considerably smaller, too. One of the 0.77-ounce bars (sold in packs of six) is about half the size of a 1.55-ounce Hershey Bar.

Don't have a Cow, man.

Have half a Hershey Bar.
