Diabetic Brownie Fix/ Holiday Snacks

[Mich]

I recently discovered a good treat to help me get through the holidays! It is EMERALD GLAZED WALNUTS in brownie flavor. They are sold near the candy section in our market.

1/4 cup has 11 grams of fat, heavy in omega 3's and only 12 grams of carb. At 140 calories (because of the fats) you can't do it too often, but I don't get a spike like I do with real brownies. A nice treat to have with coffee while out shopping.

Just thought I'd share. Anyone else have snack ideas to help with holiday overload? :eating:

these are at the supermarket? what brand?

The Brand is Emerald. The label says they use "Diamond Walnuts," They also have praline pecans and regular (not brownie) glazed walnuts.

The regular glazed walnuts taste wonderful in a salad with blue cheese, sliced pears bibb lettuce and a mild vinegiarette.
