The Bottom Line
Honey Wafers really deliver. Each 8-inch double wafer is filled with honey cream or chocolate-flavored filling and satisfies that craving for something sweet without filling you up. The real bonus here is their stats -- 90 calories with only 5 calories from fat (the chocolate flavor is slightly higher but not by much). Each package contains three double wafers so, even if you went whole hog and ate the entire package, you'd still only consume 270 calories and 15 calories of fat.Suggested Retail Price: $1.89
Where to Buy: Many specialty stores, some supermarkets and online
Would I Buy It? Definitely

Pros
Honey Wafers
© 2009 Honey Wafer Baking Co. with permission- Honey Wafers are a sweet treat you don't feel quite so guilty about eating.
- The nutrifacts for each double wafer speak for themselves: 90 calories, 5 calories from fat, 0.5 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 20 mg sodium, 22 g total carbohydrate, 0 g dietary fiber, 5 g sugar, 1 g protein. The stats for the chocolate-flavored wafers are higher but not by much.
- The ingredients are uncomplicated -- flour, vegetable oil, sugar, corn syrup, honey, powdered egg whites. That's it. No preservatives.
- Honey Wafers are portable and fill you up without giving that bloated feeling that can accompany many sugar-rich snacks.
Cons
- If I had to find fault, I would say the wafers are very fragile (which can be a good thing!) and, occasionally, may be broken in the package.
- Even though the snack is portable, biting into it may produce a lap full of crumbs.
