SLIM PICKINGS

WHAT: Special K Moments Indulgent Snack Bites STATS: Each bar contains 70 calories and 2 fat, 12 carbohydrate, 2 fiber and zero protein grams. We found them sold in boxes of eight at Wal-Mart Supercenter, 4450 E. McCain Blvd., North Little Rock. Visit tinyurl.com/n77nenb for more information.

THE SKINNY: First, Special K made cereal. Then cereal bars, granola bars, crackers, cracker chips, protein shakes, waffles, flatbread breakfast sandwiches and brownie bites.

And now Special K makes “Moments.”

Available in two flavors (a slightly Samoas-esque Dreamy Coconut and a salty-sweet Caramel Pretzel Bliss), the three-bites big, individually wrapped Special K Moments are described as “indulgent snack bites.” Which sounds a lot more special than what Special K Moments really are: “drizzled crisp rice.”

Decent. Just not momentous.

Also in the ever-expanding Special K section, keep an eye out for the brand’s new 100-calorie packages of Fudge Dipped Pretzels and White Fudge Dipped Pretzels.
