Default Skinny Cow/Slim Cow

must have been the blue bunny I was thinking of, even better to eat the
skinny cows, Lee

Our box of fudge bars and bulk Cookies and Cream both say no fat with

sugar
and corn syrup. No splenda or other artificial sweetener.

I pretty much recall that skinny cow is sugar sweetened, while the blue
bunny snacks, are splenda.

Have him read the label again. I just dragged my stiff body
downstairs and read the very fine print in good light and did not

see
sucrolose (sucralose?). I did see cellulose twice, fructose corn
syrup and sugar listed. This was the mint sandwiches.

The Klondike contain spenda - right?

The Skinny cow do NOT but contain various sugars according to the

They do not taste artificial from my perspective. Like

Richard,
they
are generally about $5.00 (US) for 6 sandwiches and they are

I tried one of the other brands that used, I think, Splenda

and
did
not like them at all, it might have been Klondike??? It did

Oh, Costco had an 18 pack (3 packages of 6 items) for around

$9.00
(US) Chocolate and Vanilla

I did not find actual ingredients but may have missed them but

they
do
have nutritional info.

So tell the truth folks - are they really worth it? My

ice cream sandwiches, so he'd probably like those. But over

yikes!
I might try Costco and see if I can get a better deal

there...

Ah, but you see, I live in Canada. Costco (or anything else for that matter)
isn't quite as affordable here. Well, health care is, but that's for another
message board. In short, most things are more expensive here. Try 85 cents a
litre for gas...and people wonder why I don't have a car...

It was actually 18 sandwiches for $12.89, not 15. We tried another one
tonight, and the sandwich part isn't really chocolatey - I don't think I'd
identify it as chocolate if I couldn't see it was brown. They're not bad,
but not something I'm going to rave about.

I've just tried one, they're pretty good. I so rarely have ice cream now,
they're a nice treat. I had hoped the sandwich part would be chocolatier
though. Fudgesicles seem to satisfy my chocolate craving, for only two
points...

I can't help with the Skinny Cow ingredients, but I can help with the
translations. Splenda equals Sucralose. Nutrasweet equals

aspartame.

I found Healthy Choice caramel ice cream sandwiches at my Costco
(Winnipeg). The cookie part is vanilla, not chocolate. There's 16 in
the package, and I can't find the bill but seem to recall they were in
the same general price range as the Cows. They work out to 3 points
each, and I have to say that I think I like them better.
