I made a great find at the grocery store the other day. It's a cereal called Oreo O's, and wow is it tasty! 3/4 cup is 2 points, and it tastes just like Oreos! You may have had this around forever, sometimes we get stuff overseas much later, but I just wanted to get the word out in case you hadn't noticed it. I can't imagine it as a breakfast cereal, but as a dessert... mmmm!

Also new to me are Westbrae Natural Double Sesame Rice Cakes. Not the usual puffed styrofoam rounds, but square crackers with quite a bit of flavor. They're a surprising 1 point for 2 crackers, and they come in two other flavors (that I haven't tried yet, but I certainly will) Sesame Garlic and Sesame Teriyaki.

I love new treats.

mmmm, thats sounds YUMMY! I am going to have to keep my eye out for them. Not sure that we have them in Canada, but I am going to look! I LOVE oreo's!

Thanks Jodie

Mmmm... Oreos.... Just in case anyone else likes the real thing, I've discoved that the low fat (-25% fat) brand of Oreo cookies are only 1 pt per cookie. So, depending on how many points you've got saved up for a treat, you may not have to try to stop at just one! :-)

Christine,

I didn't realize that. Do you know how many points it is for a regular one? (Just out of curiousity) Thanks for the info.

P.S I love your new name, and come post on the canadian thread

Thanks! My old name was cutsie... a little joke between my fiancee and I. It was all I could think of to put when I set up my account, but when I saw the little kids book about the engine I knew I had to change because it was perfect!

Sorry I don't have the info on regular Oreos. Usually I don't even have the lower fat ones in the house, but Steve thought he'd give them a try and help me out at the same time (by making a better choice). Well, he tried them and didn't like them - so now I've got a box of them in there that will hopefully stay quite full for a long time!

Oreos are one point per cookie for the low fat and one point per cookine for the regular. Hardly worth it, right? Fig Newtons are the same: one point low fat, one point regular.

But if I remember correctly, 3 RF Oreos are 3 points and 3 regular Oreos are 4 points. So the points saving comes in if you're going to eat more than a couple. It's been awhile since I've had either kind, though, since these are a real red light food for me.
