Treat Yourself and Win Free Chocolates

Even though we're eating healthy, Mr. and I both like to treat ourselves, especially me (with my ridiculous sweet tooth).

Back in the old, fat days, we would each down a pint of Ben & Jerry's or a whole tube of chocolate chip cookie dough (sometimes baked, sometimes not). Now, after dinner and a workout, we reach for things like a chocolate VitaTop or VitaMuffin, a small (but filling) bag of Kettle Corn SmartPop, or a Weight Watchers ice cream cone.

Chocolate, in particular, is a treat that hits the spot like no other. But of course, eating a whole regular chocolate bar or box of chocolate candies is way more calories or fat than we need right now.

That's when we turn to small, prepackaged servings of chocolatey delights, such as the new Ferrero Rondnoir. It's Ferrero’s new dark chocolates that feature a dark chocolate cream surrounding a crisp wafer and topped with crunchy dark chocolate morsels. One little gold foil-wrapped Rondnoir is only 1 Weight Watchers Point. Jay and I popped one in each of our lunch bags, to have a small "dessert" after lunch. They're quite tasty, and satisfying enough that you don't feel like eating the whole box at once.

Want to win a free box of these tasty treats for yourself? Email us at actionjackson03@gmail.com with the subject line "Chocolate Giveaway" by Wednesday, March 26. We'll randomly select one lucky reader to receive a whole box of Rondnoirs.
