Cheryl,

Could you please tell me the names of these muffins? Do they come in

packages, or sold in a bakery?

Thank you , Cheryl! It always helps to know what you are looking for! LOL

Oh my gosh, you were right!!!! I looked on the label today and it was

1/2 serving size. Man, what a let down. I don't know where I got that

they were only 2 pts. I always wondered how they could only be 2 pts.

they were soooo good. I am still going to eat them for breakfast

though, 4 pts. is not bad for breakfast. But I am not going to use them

as a snack any longer. I still recommend them, they are great. They

taste like chocolate cake. So, if you ever have a craving for

chocolate, it is a good way to eat a lot of it and not get too many

points.

Even though I was disappointed, thanks for bringing that to my

attention. Isn't it tough when you think something in your head for so

long and then find out you were counting it wrong.

Inge,

They are called Chocolate Fat Free Muffins. I buy them in the bakery

section at Wal-Mart. They are on the tables just outside the cake

counter. They come in a package of 4. Here they sell for $2.50 per 4

pack. They also come in Blueberry and bran. I like the blueberry, but

they dry out faster than he chocolate. The chocolate tastes just like

cake, bery moist. I hope that this helps you find them.

Cheryl ~ I did the same thing the other day. I can't remember what I was

eating, but didn't look closely enough to see it was for half. I guess they are

trying to trick us into thinking it is lower calorie, like who would want just

1/2 muffin.

Hugs,

Sometimes the serving sizes are ridiculous too, like a candy or something

that says it has four servings when it looks like only ONE serving. They

do that, I think, just to make it look lower in calories/fats/etc. but then

we don't think to look further. I'm really getting label conscious these

days!
