It's National Caramel Month! An entire 31 days devoted to the ooey, gooey stuff. Before you celebrate, here's ALL you need to know, courtesy of HG!   

Supermarket Caramel Must-Haves!

Stock your cabinets, fridge and freezer with these caramel craving-killers!

Dreyer's/Edy's Slow Churned Light Ice Cream, Caramel Delight
PER SERVING (1/2 cup): 120 calories, 3.5g fat, 50mg sodium, 19g carbs, 0g fiber, 15g sugars, 3g protein -- POINTS® value 3*

This may be the world's BEST ice cream. The ribbons of gooey caramel taste EXACTLY like Sugar Daddy caramel pops. Mmmmm!



Quaker Rice Cakes and Quakes Rice Snacks, Caramel Corn
PER SERVING (1 full-size cake): 50 calories, 0g fat, 30mg sodium, 11g carbs, 0g fiber, 3g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 1*

PER SERVING (7 mini cakes): 60 calories, 0g fat, 150mg sodium, 13g carbs, 0g fiber, 4g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 1*

These things are great for recipes (like our Crunchy Caramel Apple Cream Pies, Tuesday's featured Peanut Butter 'n Marshmallow Crunch Cake recipe, and today's featured Cara-Melt My Heart recipe!). They're also fantastic chewed straight.


Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding Snacks, Creamy Caramel
PER SERVING (1 container): 60 calories, 1g fat, 200mg sodium, 13g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 1*

Forget flan (it's irritatingly jiggly and doesn't taste all that great). Thanks to this decadent, sugar-free stuff from Jell-O, we can all kiss caramel pudding cravings goodbye for just 60 calories. Yes! (BTW, they also make a Dulce de Leche one that makes a GREAT crème brlée swap!)


Weight Watchers Caramel Cakes with Caramel Icing
PER SERVING (1 cake): 90 calories, 3g fat, 100mg sodium, 18g carbs, 3g fiber, 10g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 1*

Ooh... these individual snack cakes are sooooo good. We've snacked on 'em straight, topped 'em with Fat Free Reddi-wip, and even enjoyed 'em frozen (they take longer to eat that way!).


Jolly Time Healthy Pop Microwave Pop Corn, Caramel Apple
PER SERVING (5 cups popped): 110 calories, 2g fat, 380mg sodium, 23g carbs, 6g fiber, <1g sugars, 4g protein -- POINTS® value 2*

This stuff is an HG all-star! Not only is it packed with fiber, its SO low in fat and calories that you can eat handfuls and handfuls of the stuff! We love it so much, it POPS up on our fave foods lists time and time again. It can be a bit tough to find, but you can order it online.
