Giveaway: Little Debbie snacks

The doorbell rang, and I was so startled that I knocked my bowl of Kashi cereal all over my rocker and the carpet. Somehow, my mess missed the baby — thank goodness! A UPS guy was bringing me a package.

I opened it to find a bunch of Little Debbie snacks! Hooray! That made cleaning up my cereal no big deal.

I received 8 boxes of 100-calorie individually packaged snacks: Nutty Bars, Snow Puffs, Marshmallow Treats, Nutty Bar P.B. Stix, Chocolate Cakes, Yellow Cakes, Triple Fudge Brownies, and Gingerbread Cookies.

Oh, my goodness.

I don’t think you could call any of these snacks “healthy,” but hey, they are only 100 calories (assuming you eat just one!).

The folks at Little Debbie are offering three of my readers a box of snacks identical to the one I received. If you’d like to win, please leave a comment below. For fun, tell me your favorite snack. I will accept entries until midnight on Saturday, January 10. After that, I will use a random number generator to select the winners. I will then contact the winners to get their mailing address and then pass it on to Little Debbie.

**Note: Winners must live in the lower 48 states. Sorry, Alaskans, Hawaiians, and international readers!

**Note #2: If you haven’t ever commented here, or haven’t commented in awhile, your comment may have been held for moderation. Check back later to make sure I approved it! If you think yours was overlooked, e-mail me at sensetosave (at) gmail.com

  1. I am a junk food junkie (trying to eat better in 09). I love Rice Krispie treats, chocolate, chips, pretzels, popcorn – you name it.

    My favorite LD treat is nutty bars. I had no idea they were coming in 100 calorie packs now…. I will have to try them!

  2. I heart Nutty Bars. They’re pretty healthy if you only eat 100 calories, right? Maybe not.

  3. Love the little Debbie. I’m a fan of the Zebra Cakes and the Classic Oatmeal Cream Pie (or OCPs, as we used to call them back in college).

  9. Oh YUM! I am such a snacker. One of my favorites is FiberOne bars in chocolate and oat. Just don’t eat more than one a day!

    My favorite Little Debbies are the star crunch and oatmeal cream pies.

  10. yum. I like gingerbread cookies, although I have never had the little debbie ones.

  17. Oh, nutty bars are definitely my favorite, but I hardly ever have them! What a treat winning these would be!
