Weight Watchers Candy and GIVEAWAY!

[ 69 ] 01/25/2009 |

We were recently offered the opportunity to try out Weight Watchers Chocolate Candies by Whitman’s. You know us, we never turn down a good treat (ahem, unless it’s high in fat and calories, of course)! They come in many different varieties, everything from Caramel Medallions to Double Chocolate Mousse. Mmmm. My mouth is watering just typing about it!

I decided to try the Peanut Butter Cups. I’m always a sucker for peanut butter. And chocolate. I personally found them to be very good. Just enough chocolatey goodness to satisfy my sweet tooth. And for only 2 points a piece, they are well worth it. My only problem was stopping at one!

Crooked Eyebrow, what did you think?

Like Melissa, I too tasted the sweet and savory Weight Watchers peanut butter cups. Once I opened the bag I was fully expecting to taste a diet candy. Thankfully this was not that case at all! With the candy only being 2 points a piece, I soon found these delicious candies were the perfect sized treat. My only wish is that the bag was bigger because I loved them so much.

Weight Watchers Peanut Butter Candies by Whitmans are now my little slice of heaven when I crave something sweet!

How about you Christy?

Holy-mary-mother-of-all-that-is-chocolatey-and-caramely-and-only-1-point!!

According to Weight Watchers, it is OKAY to eat chocolate. Personally, I don’t think I could successfully diet without giving in to my sweet tooth occasionally. So when Weight Watchers asked us to try some of their delectible candies, I was like, “YEAH!”

I had the pleasure of trying the Pecan Crowns and all I have to say is: WONDERFUL. I love chocolate and I love caramel and I love pecans, so these little clusters of deliciousness really fit the bill for me. What’s even better? They are only ONE point! Yes, you read right. Candy this amazing is only one point.

I will most definitely be picking some of these up next time I grocery shop! Yes, I’ve seen them in the grocery store, which is an added extra bonus. And there are several varieties to choose from!

Now it’s YOUR turn Sisters and Brother(s). Thanks to Weight Watchers, we are offering you a chance to stuff your face responsibly satisfy your chocolate urges. We are giving away a bag of candy each to TWO separate lucky people! To enter, just leave a comment below. Tell us what you like about the site, what you don’t like, topics you would like us to post on… I don’t care, just tell us SOMETHING. And if you would like an extra entry, tweet about it and report back to us. This contest will end Wednesday, January 28th at 11:59 pm CST and the winner will be randomly chosen and announced the following day. Good Luck!

    mmmmm! My husband got me a bag of these in my Christmas stocking and WOW. So good. I’ve tried the butter cream caramels and the double chocolate mousse. Cannot believe they’re ‘diet’ candy!!

    I’ve been trying for months to figure out how to do what you all have already done. You help, you encourage, and you inspire every one on your site and each other. If I can just touch one life like you all have touched many, I will consider myself successful in “paying forward” what I have learned in this weightloss journey. You guys rock!

    Sounds yummy! So how DO you keep from eating the whole bag??? That’s my trouble – I’ll find things that are good for me (at least not BAD for me), but if I eat to excess it doesn’t make a difference. How do we stop from going overboard?

    I think Weight Watchers sounds like a great weight loss program.
    It is about changing your eating habits for a lifetime not a diet.
