THE SKINNY: Chocolate-covered Rice Krispies Treats? We can just imagine our buttons going "Snap! Crackle! Pop!"
But limited portions of these new Rice Krispies Treats Snap Crackle Poppers snacks can fit into a balanced diet while you still fit your clothes.
The coated, bite-size, crisp marshmallow squares come in three sweet flavors (though we only spotted and sampled the first two): Chocolatey, Vanilla Creme and Cookies 'n' Creme. Make that super-sweet flavors. The first ingredient on the label is sugar, and it's joined by its corn syrup and fructose kin. These Rice Krispies Treats are far more treat than cereal.
We didn't need more than two or three chewy Poppers, max, to reach a sugary stopping point.
Therefore, as an occasional dessert, we give snaps to Snap Crackle Poppers.
