I received a box of Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cakes in the mail the other day, and I must say they are sinfully delicious.
It has been years since I have eaten a Hostess Twinkie, but if my memory serves me correctly, these taste just the same.
The good news? Only 100 calories per snack cake. (If you are following the Weight Watchers program, they are only 1 POINT® per cake.)
The bad news? They are TINY! Be prepared to practice portion control here as I easily could have eaten the whole box. They also contain some of the bad stuff we know we shouldn’t be eating, but if you need something to satisfy that sweet craving, these hit the spot with relatively little impact.
The best news? Three lucky readers will get a coupon for a FREE Weight Watchers snack item!
Leave me a comment telling me what sweet treat from your childhood you would love to see made into a Weight Watchers sensible choice item.
Enter by 9pm EST on Monday, September 8. The winners will be picked at random and notified via email.
Was it Ring Dings? Devil Dogs? Ho-Ho’s? What was your favorite?

I guess being small forces you to eat it and savor it a bit more.
We look at all of those weight watch3rs products in the store and my wife also buys those “100 calorie” snacks that you see as well on Biggest Loser…can’t remember the brand at the moment

i am definitely hoping they make a low al version of the nutter butter bars. mmmmmmm…..
I have to agree with Ali. Definitely nutter butters. I love them. They are just too good. I would definitely have to practice portion control. LOL!
Jennifers last blog post..Wii Fit anyone?
Those orange circus peanuts…yummy!!

ding dongs, for sure!
Well, I’d be anxious to try these only because my daughter wanted to try the real deal, so I purchased a box. Didn’t taste anything like the twinkies I remember as a kid. So I wonder if they changed the formula or if my taste buds changed. Well, who knows. I’ll give it a try. As for my childhood sweet treat, zingers!
Ask The Dietitians last blog post..An Open Letter to Physicians,
Nutty Bars! OMG love them…
Anything made by Little Debbie, especially those star crunher thingies…which I can’t think of the proper name for right now. lol. And, I agree with Ask the Dietitian: Zingers were amazing!
Fit Bottomed Girlss last blog post..And the Mystery Prize Goes To…
Oh, ring dings, for sure!
Felices last blog post..What’s for breakfast?
Hmm, I’d love to have moon pies in a more calorie friendly form! Honestly though most of the ‘diet’ food alternatives end up tasting pretty nasty.
Mistys last blog post..Paper flower tutorial
Little Debbie Swiss Rolls or Fudge Rounds.
I loved Moon Pies and Little Debbies! Of course there is the homemade rice crispy treats, too. So many (sugar) memories reading these posts.
oooh, fudge rounds! Forgot about those too!
AsktheDietician–that brings up a great point. There are many foods that I loved as a kid but cannot stand right now. Do the formulas change or is it us? hmmm….future post idea, thanks!
No way man! Never even liked the real thing. Now maybe some ice cream…

Swiss Cake Rolls! Remember those? I used to peel off the layer of chocolate, and then unroll them and scoop out the white cream with my finger.
Yum!

As a kid, Ding Dongs! Now, Skittles, ice cream, Oreos, Malted Milk Balls…but far and few in between
looks grate i have to try some but frist will have to get them when i’m at the store (lol)
jennifer bowens last blog post..to day is the last day of the blog trip so whats there to do a round here?
Star Crunch–anyone else remember those. Moon pies a close second. But per those WW twinkies–are they also so heavily laden with preservatives that they will stay in tact for centuries ( a la Wall-E?).

In my youth, definitely ding dongs and anything little debbie.
100 calories? That rocks! Even if it is tiny
I LOVED Swiss Cake Rolls (still do), Star Crunch, and Moon Pies. Heck, anything from that Little Debbie girl is such a treat.

AHHHHHHH!!! I am so excited!!!!
KFJs last blog post..Positive Post Tuesday
I read this and had to go buy a box and when I tried them and thought they were too sweet.
I think I’ve not eaten anything so sugary in a while so my taste has been reset. I would like to see nutter butters in a 100 calorie treat form. I don’t know if I’d really like them now, but as a kid they were my favorite snack.

Doriss last blog post..Promote lifelong fitness for kids
Definitely Ho-Ho’s! Although I haven’t had them in years. As a kid I could eat a whole bunch of them at once – so my inclination might be to have more than one. So, if I have to practice portion control, I might as well just eat the real deal.
I haven’t thought about those in a long time…now I’m craving one (or 2).
Why did I read this blog? Now I’ve got a problem … Ho-Ho’s come in a two-pack don’t they? There’s no way I can bring a box home.

I adore cookies and used to love love love eating Dad’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and Oreo Cookies. But my favourite treat of all time was the seasoned silver bag sunflower seeds. I think they would make me sick if I ate them now because they’d be too salty for me. But when I was a kid I could really pack them away!
Sagans last blog post..Wanderlust is content and the travel bug is fed
Ring Dings or Ding Dongs! The chocolate round ones with the creme in the middle – yum!
Wifey’s Houses last blog post..Don’t Wake the Baby!
I was never allowed to have any of that when I was a child (hence my total freak out toward junk food as an adult). I think of the hostess variesty, didn’t they have Zingers? I liked those.
Chellie Has Issuess last blog post..First Place Female
HoHos – loved those things….it has been years since I have had one and perhaps I shouldn’t even indulge as it would send me over the edge to eat them again!!
I’d have to go with ho-ho’s — I loved peeling off the layers of chocolate. It made a mess all over, but it was my heaven!
Annette: congrats you are a winner! Email me your mailing address and I’ll drop your coupon in the mail
