Dr. Kal Cheats are explained here.
This week it is time for a cheap cheat, but a great cheat nonetheless. I have been craving M&M’s for a couple of days now. Not just any M&M’s, but frozen Peanut M&M’s. You cannot find these delectable snacks in your grocer’s freezer. Actually, preparing frozen Peanut M&M’s is a very difficult task and is typically reserved for experienced cooks or professional chefs. However, I am going to tell you how I created these sweet and salty snacks at home.
I wanted to eat my cheat on Sunday, so I went to the local CVS to get the ingredients on Saturday. I picked up one 1.74 ounce package of Peanut M&M’s. I took the candy-coated, chocolate-covered peanuts home and put them in the freezer. Voila!!!!
The next day, I retrieved my little bag of goodies from the freezer. I sat down at my dining room table. I looked around for moochers. The bad thing about M&M’s is that if someone sees you with them, then they automatically want some. Well, there were no moochers in site. So, I ate them slowly. They were so good and well worth the 69 cents and 250 calories they cost me.
The Damage
How much damage did I do? According to M&M’s website, a 1.74 ounce bag of Peanut M&M’s is:
- Calories: 250
- Fat: 13 grams
- Bad Fats: 5 grams
- Carbs: 30 grams
- Sugars: 25 grams
- Protein: 5 grams
Well, that was my weekly cheat and I enjoyed every minute of it. There are definitely too many grams of saturated fat and sugar in Peanut M&M’s, but everything is okay in moderation. That’s why they call it a cheat.
