Fling: Not just another one night stand

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I showed amazing restraint.

Ah-may-zing.

I brought home a box of Fling chocolate bars from my BlogHer swag bag from Chicago in July and I finally ate the last one yesterday.

I am the portrait of self-restraint.

I had never had nor seen these little delights, but they are quite delish.

Think of them as individually wrapped Twix bars with a sweet crispy meringue in place of the cookie. The caramel’s been swapped out for a truffle-like mousse filling. The milk chocolate coating was much smoother as well. The manufacturers tout the the visual appeal of the snack with it’s Mica-dusting that results in a shimmering effect. While I love me some pretty food as much as the next girl, these were not unwrapped long enough to look at before they were consumed.

At 80 calories and 4.5 grams of fat per piece, don’t believe the clever hints at a “skinny” sweet. Yes, a two-pack of Twix is packed with 280 calories and 14 grams of fat. So, in comparison, Fling aren’t a bad alternative. That is, if you can restrain yourself to just one.

Trust me, that’s hard. It’s about as hard as a one night stand with this guy would be.

Or at least I’d like to imagine.

Naughty, but not that naughty.

And these are locally available. I checked out the website http://www.flingchocolate.com and they are at Albertsons, Vons, CVS, and Food4Less. Mars makes them.

They do sound yummy! (and I’ll leave it to you to figure out whether I’m referring to the candy bar or the eye candy )

Girl. You KNOW how I feel about the Fling. Mighty tasty. I’ve managed to find it in quite a few stores. If you don’t have it there yet, I’ll be happy to bring you some next trip out.
