Default Low Carb MILANOs

Yes, folks, you heard right--has anyone else seen these? I stumbled across them in the grocery store and had to tear myself away from the display--decided I didn't really need cookies! (Trying to minimise the amount of nutritionally-empty crap I eat, and the Carbsmart LC IC bars seem to be my current indulgence.)

They have both regular Milanos and Mint Milanos--when you do the math from the nutritional info I came up with 5 carbs per cookie--IF you don't count SAs. I can't remember which SA they use. The package doesn't have a "splenda" symbol on it. The nutritional info was 22 carbs (I think) for 3 cookies, with 1 g fiber and 6 g SAs.

Has anyone tasted them?

Default those cookies are pretty good

hey hifive, i have tasted them and i liked them. They of course arent nearly as good as the real thing but they get the job done for a sweet tooth i almost died when i saw them in the store i had to try them i have only had the mint ones, they are worth a try.

Yeah, my instincts told me I should buy a package just to have around--but then I am worried I would eat the whole package . It's not likely that I would do that but that's what I could do with regular Milanos (only SHAME would make me stop), so...Danger, Will Robinson!

Thanks for the feedback though...I will continue to mull.

Yes to maltitol, no to trans fats. (I was surprised, too, by the latter.)

Haven't tried them yet.
