I originally bought several boxes of these to give out on Halloween. A number of the trick or treaters were thrilled to have something else besides candy. And there aren't many people I know who would turn their noses up at M & M cookies and these are good. But let's face it, they're not exactly health food, so you don't want to fill up on them. After Halloween, having the individual packages was quite helpful. If I had a big bag of cookies, I might eat the whole package, but I was content with just one single serving of these. My husband did eat a few from time to time, but still better than eating an entire box of cookies on one sitting.
