Nabisco introduces 100 Calorie Packs

The new 100 Calorie Packs from Nabisco are a real treat and packaged smartly for people on the go. Each package offers a 100-calorie amount of Nabisco snacks such as Oreo Thin Crisps, Kraft Cheese Nips and mixed berry fruit snacks. The packs contain no trans fats. Cookie versions are tasty, although we did miss the cream filling that regular Oreos have. A box of 6 packages is $2.69.
