Flashback to my childhood…walking a block to the Dolly Madison store by my house and spending my allowance on a juice barrel and a package of Zingers. Remember Zingers? The delicious cake, either chocolate or yellow, with a thick layer of frosting and a gooey cream center… that’s what Weight Watchers Red Velvet Crème Cake snacks taste like. These tiny cakes are amazing-a rich red velvet cake with a cream cheese center and a thick layer of frosting. These Weight Watchers snack cakes are only 90 calories and 3 grams of fat per cake and have 4 grams of fiber. They may be tiny, but they have enough flavor to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing calories. Of course because they are cake, my kids had to try them….and they love them! I had to pry the box out of their little hands. So if you love red velvet or remember and loved Zingers, you will love these Weight Watchers Red Velvet Crème Cakes.

Have you heard the news of Pepperidge Farm’s first gluten-free addition to its Baked Naturals lineup – Simply Tortilla and Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips? These chips are made with quality ingredients like stone ground corn and 16g whole grain per serving. Baked Naturals Tortilla Chips contain 43 percent less fat than the leading tortilla chip (4.5g total fat/28g serving compared to 8g total fat/28g serving).

Now, I’ve got a picky household when it comes to healthy stuff. My husband tends to not usually the baked chips and a lot of the time I have to agree. However, Pepperidge Farm hit the nail on the head with these chips. I never even got to try the Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips! My kids and my husband ate them before I got a chance! I had to hide the Simply Tortilla chips, so I could try them! You know you’ve got good chips when you have to hide them so you can try them! This is one of the few things that I have reviewed that my husband has begged that I get more of! I love the Simply Tortilla Chips. I love that when I chip craving that I can have these and not feel guilty about it! They taste great too!

Gluten-Free Tortilla Chips from Pepperidge Farm are a great-tasting, wholesome addition to any house!
