Calorie Bargain: York Mints

The Why: What a beautiful evening. Perfect weather. Great food and conversation--the energy between you made you feel like you were floating on a cloud.  A good hair day. Even the heels you're wearing turned out to be comfortable.  After dinner, the check arrived with a handful of just what you needed-a little bit of chocolate, and a nice minty crunch.  Wonder if those just blew the diet??

Well now you can carry a tin of York mints with you in your bag at all times-at only 10 calories for three mints, they'll end the perfect evening (or lunch, or boring meeting) without blowing the diet. 

The Health Bonus: You'll get a nice bite-sized dark chocolate fix, without packing on the pounds.

What We Liked Best: The taste, the calories (that there aren't many), and the tin.  Plus, there are health benefits to chocolate.

What We Liked Least: No real nutritional value here, and not exactly all-natural ingredients.

The Price: $1.85/tin
