Spotted: New, individually wrapped treats from Fiber One, one of our go-to brands, on grocery shelves. We found all of these products (which do contain chicory root extract; proceed with caution) at Walmart, 2700 S. Shackleford Road, Little Rock. More information at fiberone.com.
Supreme Brownie: Fiber One has had 90-calorie brownies for years, but Supreme Brownies (available in Cookie Dough and Triple Chocolate) are a bit more decadent. And a bit more caloric at 110 calories each. Like all Fiber One's chocolate products, they're slightly aftertastey in a way only dieters will find delightful.
Brownie Bites: For those who prefer their brownies bite-size, Fiber One now has Brownie Bites in two flavors (Chocolate Fudge and Chocolate Caramel) with 130 calories per pack.
Cookie Bites: Pouches of tiny cookies -- Crunchy Lemon and Double Chocolate -- are new to the lineup. And for 130 calories these Cookie Bites don't bite.
Limited Edition Birthday Cake Bar: This 90-calorie bar baked with colored sprinkles and drizzled with icing was designed for Fiber One's birthday. It's like having your bar (we just can't call this cake, sorry) and eating it too.
