But forget the Oreos and leave behind the Chips Ahoy -- and meet the waistline friendly 4:00 Cookie. Unlike their sugary counterparts, the 4:00 PM cookie is specially designed to stabilize blood sugar and energy levels thanks to its blend of whole grains and low-glycemic sweeteners. Plus, there's no added white sugar or white flour.
But they don't taste like cardboard. We promise. In fact, they're more like bursting with flavor from ingredients like dried figs, dried cherries, blueberries, coconut, and bittersweet chocolate, so all your cravings will be satisfied.
