Addictive "Palm Kernel Oil Blobs"

My boss gave me these for Christmas. She shouldn't have. They won't LAST until Christmas, unless you count the pounds they add to my hips - in which case, they'll last until March 2009!

The good news: These things are addictively delicious and have no trans fats. If you can stop at five - the suggested serving size - it's about 260 calories, equivalent to your average candy bar. The price is ridiculously right. The bad news: I don't know anyone who can resist these little gems or stop at five. The #1 ingredient is palm kernel oil, thus prompting us to nickname them "addictive little palm kernel oil blobs." Not as sexy as "imported French Truffles," but not quite the deterrent one would hope, when trying to stick to a diet with these insidious little suckers in the house.

These make a great hostess gift, too. Or a stocking stuffer. It's a particularly wicked gift to bestow upon your opponent, if you're in a race to see who can get leanest and fittest first. I keep trying to get my family to take them off my hands, but given it's a 2 lb. box, there's plenty to share and I can't seem to stop reaching in for another... Godiva? I hate to break it to you, but you've got some stiff competition here, and the price is right.
