As ever, the treats are topped with frosting and sprinkles but they are available in a format that's smaller than ever. In a 40-gram pouch, there's 150 calories and 16 grams of sugar, offering a satisfying way to satisfy a sweet tooth without going overboard. As these snacks are packed into individual pouches, they have the potential to appeal to people as a sweet snack that promotes portion-controlled snacking at home. Like Pop-Tarts, many food brands are now experimenting with introducing their signature snacks in larger or smaller formats.
