Score! Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper and Kettle Korn
Since we began our mission to drop 10 lbs. in 10 weeks friends, family and complete strangers have been dropping knowledge on us -- and introducing us to some great products we'd never tried before.
My favorites so far:
Our friend Kitty Campbell suggested we try the new Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper.
I'm not big on diet soda, but this one's got me hooked. The secret: it actually tastes like chocolate and cherries and I can't detect the aspartame they're using to sweeten it. That may be because it's well down the list of ingredients, behind some other artificial (and some natural) flavors. They're calling it a "Limited Edition" -- and if they really do away with it, I'm going to be heartbroken.
Our friend and co-worker Janet Brindle Reddick turned us on to the Orville Redenbacher Kettle Korn mini-bags. The Kettle Korn is both salty and sweet -- and the mini-bag is actually the perfect amount of popcorn for just 100 calories a bag.
Next, we're going to test-drive these Bird's Eye and Green Giant steam-in-bag vegetable servings. We hear good things.
What are some of your favorite guilt-free snacks?

Last night I was craving something sweet, and since I hate kettle corn, I heated up a 100 calorie pack of regular popcorn, and then melted a few semi-sweet chocolate chips (i'd even like this with bittersweet chips) and had my popcorn dipped in the chocolate. Perfect salty, sweet. A few semi-sweet or bitter-sweet chocolate chips go a long way without a lot of sugar.

Hi,
I have been searching in Mebane, Burlington and Chapel Hill for the Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Peppers but haven't been able to find them anywhere! I would love to try them. Please tell me where you found it. Thanks
