Elaine Was On To Something

Fellow Seinfeld fans must remember the infamous "muffin top" episode, in which Elaine opens a muffin top shop, arguning it is the only part of the baked good people enjoy.

Although success didn't follow, the folks over at VitaMuffin are having a much better run.

Their chocolate muffin tops -- found in the frozen section of your grocery store -- aren't just delicious (you know I don't recommend anything on my blog until I have tasted it), they also pack in their fair share of nutrition.

Let me be perfectly clear. This is not a "health" food. It is not meant to replace vegetables or fruits. It also does not give you license to eat an entire box in one day.

However, I think it's pretty nifty when a product delivers satisfying taste without going overboard on calories, fat, and sugar. After all, who CAN'T make something tasty with unlimited amounts of butter and sugar?

Each package contains four individually wrapped muffin tops. They make for an excellent dessert. So, if four of you happen to be sitting around the dining table, you won't be tempted to go back for more.

Here is the nutritional rundown per muffin top:

100 calories
1.5 grams fat
1 gram saturated fat
140 milligrams sodium
170 milligrams potassium
6 grams fiber
9 grams (slightly over teaspoons) of sugar
20% calcium
50% vitamin D

Try them out for yourself and let me know what you think.
