Chocolate Crunch Rice Cake (Quaker)

Why it's a sweet deal: This crunchy and chocolatey treat has a mere 60 calories. The first ingredient is whole-grain brown rice, which may help decrease your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and constipation. This good-for-you carb may even help keep your waistline in check with healthful vitamins, minerals and fiber, which keep your metabolism running efficiently and help keep you feeling full. The bad-news ingredients that are nowhere in sight on this nutrition panel: high-fructose corn syrup, an artificial sweetener that packs on the pounds; and partially hydrogenated oil with dangerous trans fats, which increase your risk of heart disease by messing with your cholesterol levels.
