The Why:  Oh my gosh, these are so rich, creamy, and fudgy. Whoever said good things come in small packages was right. I’ve always liked Skinny Cow’s flying saucers, but never fell in love with their other ice creams. But these are great, and I'm amazed that they're so low in calories. The truth is that they blow away the Fudgsicle (which we've been a fan of for years). These pops are the perfect size to satisfy any chocolate cravings in an instant. As Skinny Cow says “your taste buds will be doing cartwheels!”

The Health Bonus:  Low calorie chocolate dessert, 50 calories is a steal. Each pop has ½ gram of fiber and about 7 ½ percent of your daily calcium needs.

What We Liked Best: The portion size, and satisfaction from eating just one.

What We Liked Least: Sometimes the tip of the bar breaks off.

What It Replaces: If you really try hard, maybe it could replace Ben & Jerry’s Fudge Brownie. But it should be able to hold up to most higher calorie treats—especially if you’re on a mission to lose.

The Price: $4.99 

Offerings: The Skinny Cow brand is also rolling out an improved Low Fat Fudge Bar. The delicious snacks still weigh in at 100 calories and 1 gram of fat—we tested it—it’s great.
