Why I Love Fling

I've always been a salty-tooth person. Give me a bag of Sun Chips or Japanese shrimp chips over ice cream or cookies any day. But lately I've been craving sweets, namely chocolate. Dangerous, I know...

So I was thrilled when I found Fling, a 170-calorie chocolate candy that is rich, satisfying and not an overindulgence in the calorie department. Now I realize that there are plenty of options with all the 100 Calorie Paks and sugar-free chocolate, but honestly - do they really satisfy? Usually "diet" candy is either a) a tiny portion or b) tastes like crap. Fling, whose motto is "Naughty, but not that naughty," is perfect. It's a great once-in-a-while, fabulous chocolate treat that is guilt-free. Fling comes in milk chocolate, dark chocolate and hazelnut.

Just to clarify: I in no way am affiliated with the company that makes Fling and I discovered it in a grocery store, not because I got free samples or anything of the sort.

I'm definitely going to Fling. My favorite "low calorie" sweet is a See's lollipop. Best flavor: butterscotch, but they're all good. And only 80 calories.

sounds too good to be true - will have to give these a try! My current fave for a choco fix is two squares from a Vosges bar, which clocks in at around 110-140 calories.
