Costco's Newest Healthy-Ish Treat Is Perfect for Chocolate LoversāAnd People Are Buying Multiple Bags at a Time
Fighting to suppress a chocolate craving is one of the worst aspects of sticking to a diet. And when that craving hits, suddenly all the excuses in the world are readily available to justify devouring an entire bar of chocolatey goodness. While we all deserve a cheat day, some of us tend to need more than just a day and can easily find ourselves longing for that elusive snack that's the perfect balance of healthy and tasty. I'll be the first to admit that it causes me to dream of the days when I was a child and could take down an entire pillowcase of candy on Halloween without a second thought.

Lucky for us, Costco has a cheat day alternative that just might fit the bill: the Skinny Dipped Cups. Since recently hitting shelves, the cups are already garnering a lot of positive attention due to their similarity to Reeseās Peanut Butter Cups, minus the heavy sugar content. Spotted by Laura over at Costco Hot Finds, these dark chocolate peanut butter cups feature peanut butter as the first ingredient and only contain 2 grams of sugar per cup. With each bag containing 30 cups, thatās only 60 grams within the entire lot ā which is not a bad ratio if you ask us.
