Just call me Louis. Or Clark. Because I just discovered a new chocolate product for you!
It seems that the folks at Hershey have jumped on board the small-portion-size marketing strategy (e.g. 100-calorie packs). They've created Hershey's Sticks -- smooth and creamy, perfectly-sized, 60-calorie chocolate sticks. The sticks come in 4 varieties: milk chocolate, caramel-filled milk chocolate, rich dark chocolate, and mint chocolate. They really are the perfect snack size! I'm telling you -- if you have a hankering for an after-lunch, but before-work-ends sweet snack, keep these on hand. You'll satisfy your chocolate urge, but with only 60 calories. Not bad! (Of course, you do need to make sure you only eat one . . .)
I think the psychology behind it is in the shape. They are long and skinny sticks. So you almost feel like you're eating a candy bar -- just a skinny one. But those little Hershey miniatures? Fuhgedaboudit. They make me think I need to eat about 10 before I'm satisfied . . .
Basically, I think if you're a chocoholic like me, this is a great development in the industry for you.
Bonus: You can use these sticks in hot chocolate!

Another great stick is the creme filled Pirouette rolled wafer from Pepperidge Farm. My favorite is the mint. The only problem is that you can't eat just one (and I have no idea how many calories are in each one...and don't care)!
