I’m not going to lie, when I had a freezer full of these tasty treats, I heard them calling my name in the middle of the night! I didn’t give in to any abnormal cravings, but when I did indulge, I felt good that I knew exactly what I was getting. Having done the Weight Watchers program before, I’m familiar with the points program, and having that labeled right on the front of the box was important, nothing to hide!

My absolute favorite was the classic chocolate fudge bars! At one point each these were also the favorite of my husband, though we both could NOT stop at eating just one. Let me make sure to tell you they are “snack size” bars, so they give that creamy, melt in your mouth upon first lick taste. But, one was just not enough for me and my husband, I craved more, so I could eat two in a sitting! In the picture of my husband, that’s after one bite, they are the two-bite-bar!

Next favorite was the strawberry bar, surprising for the chocolate lover I am. The bar is 2 points and it’s like frozen fruit, it’s so delicious with the bits of strawberry in it and tastes healthier than a dessert should! My son is a strawberry fan and he also loved these bars!

The cheesecake and dulce de leche bars are both low-fat and 3 points per bar. The tastes kick up “dessert on a stick” a notch, but for me I won’t buy them often because they don’t appeal to the whole family. I would buy them to share with adult friends though and don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed them!

I didn’t get the ice cream sandwiches, but those are something the kids and we both love, vanilla bean ice cream is my favorite vanilla, so they sound great. You must check your local stores for these new desserts!

We were sent product for our honest review!

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of foods labeled as low-calorie, fat-free, diet, or even Weight Watchers brand foods? To be honest, I usually steer clear. Often you find that these types of food lack in flavor, sometimes in consistency, and also are priced higher than the “original” style.

After my second child, I used the Weight Watchers program online. I lost weight by following the points system, but not by sacrificing my favorite flavors and foods. Weight Watchers’ line of food is portioned to help you follow your weight loss plan, but keeps all the foods quality in taste! Their Weight Watchers Cheese line is introducing a line of gourmet spreadable cheese wedges and an 8-ounce variety of cream cheese spread, that will have you hooked!

My take: The cheese wedges come in 4 super yummy flavors, my favorite has to be the jalepeno pepper! At 1 point per wedge, you spread these on crackers and get a mouthful of creamy cheese flavor with a kick. Serve them at a party, alternating the garlic and herb and original swiss wedges and your guest will NEVER know the difference. I’m not a huge swiss cheese fan, and I can tell you that the wedge has a nice lightness to it and is very enjoyable! With the 8oz block of cream cheese, I tested it out on the kids putting it on their toasted bagel. No questions asked, they loved it and at 1 point per 1oz of cream cheese, moms and dads can feel good about too! I can’t get over the silky texture, it practically melts in your mouth! Mid-afternoon energy crash? Not anymore, nibble on a cheese wedge and you can now hold over to dinner without too many empty calories!
