Nabisco makes several sweet and savory varieties of the 100-calorie packs, including the new Peanut Butter Cookie Crisps, but I’ve only tried the Oreos and Chips Ahoy versions. Oreos win, hands down. I must say, they aren’t technically Oreos since they’re sans cream, but they still have a strong chocolate flavor which really helps satisfy a chocolate craving. On the other hand, the Chips Ahoy cookies, tasted like sugared cardboard. After eating the Chips Ahoy snacks, I wanted more. Not more of the Chips Ahoy cookies however, but more of something else…something sweet and chocolaty.

Some people think 100-calorie packs are a waste of money when you can simply purchase a bag of bite-sized cookies and divide them up into smaller containers yourself. This is a valid point and if you have the time and desire to do this, go for it and save yourself about $3 (which is roughly what a box of 6 snack packs will cost you). However, every time I open the airtight seal on one of these shiny packaged snacks, I feel like I’m actually treating myself and am much more likely to be satisfied with less.

Now if they can only find a way to fit turkey and dressing into 100-calorie packs, we’d be all set for the holidays!
