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.
