Recipe Fun with 100 Calorie Snack Packs

OK, so everyone has noticed that every snack making company out there has 100-calorie packs now, right? You can get Orville Redenbacher popcorn, yogurt, oreos and whatever else in cute, convenient, to-go size pouches and monitor your calorie intake all at the same time.

This concept is a worthwhile venture in that it allows people to snack but prevents them overeating. The problem is that 100-calories worth of oreo's or chips ahoy cookies is only like 20 thin wafers worth of cookies.

So I've created a solution to this problem. I tried it yesterday and it works perfectly. All you have to do is dip each chips ahoy cookie wafer from the 100-calorie pack into Jiff Extra Crunchy peanut butter! And Voila! You've created a much more filling snack and at the same time, increased your calorie intake from 100 to about 860. haha!

Jiff Extra Crunchy peanut butter is 190 calories for every 2 Tbsp. 2Tbsp covers about 5 of these little cookie wafers and there are about 20 per bag. Do the math and you've turned a healthy concept into a fat generating fiasco.
