SLIM PICKINGS
WHAT: Teddy Soft Bakes
STATS: One portion contains 120 calories and 4 fat, 18 carbohydrate, zero fiber, 9 sugar and 2 protein grams. Sold in boxes of six (we found them at Kroger, 8415 W. Markham St., Little Rock). More information at discoverteddy.com.
THE SKINNY: A reader recommended these individually wrapped baked snacks that look like teddy bears (think, a larger, softer answer to crunchy, bite-size Teddy Grahams).
Cute? Yes. Kid-friendly? Yes. Tasty? Well, two out of three ain’t bad.
I didn’t love either variety (Chocolate Filling, Vanilla Filling) of these cakes, which had an earthy aftertaste. But children might look past that, and mothers will appreciate that they don’t contain artificial flavors and colors or high fructose corn syrup (hence, why they’re neither that caloric nor that yummy).
So bear all that in mind before buying.
