TWIX Bites on-the-go: the movies, the outdoors, and more! #EatMoreBites


There are never enough hours in the day for me. I have a full-time job, and I write both this blog and my book blog, which are like two part-time jobs combined; if you add them all up, I probably work 50-60 hours a week. To top that off, I am always on-the-go, whether it be for movie screenings, meeting up with friends, or running around doing errands - and sometimes, when you leave the house at 9am and don't return until 10pm, you get hungry for some snacks.

I also have a huge sweet tooth, but eating a large candy bar, which can top out at 250-300 calories, is not really in my weekday caloric budget, either.


I was shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and saw that TWIX has a new product out - TWIX Bites. They're basically unwrapped TWIX bars, but tiny: a serving is five or six, and has less calories than two TWIX Bars would be.


So of course I had to buy them - and I threw in a bag of Snickers Bites too, for good measure - and I've been eating them everywhere over the past few weeks.

I went to visit my parents a few weekends ago, and they live by a lake, so we grabbed the bag and headed outside:


The next day, I threw them in my purse on the way to work, and they made a nice midday snack:



That night, I also had a movie screening to go to, so I was able to enjoy some of the TWIX Bites in the theater as well (shh!).


If you aren't already drooling by now, I have even more good news: if you're planning on buying some TWIX Bites for yourself, you can grab this coupon courtesy of #CollectiveBias and #EatMoreBites, which will give you $1 off two smaller bags or $3 off two larger bags! And if you want more than two larger bags, you can print this coupon too, for another $3 off two bags (TWIX, 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, or Snickers). Satisfying my sweet tooth while doing so inexpensively is something I can definitely support.


So the next time you see me at the movies, you may see me eating some TWIX Bites or Snickers Bites - just don't ask me to share. :)

    The on-the-gos are my favorite! I don't have a huge sweet tooth but sometime I get the crave for something sweet and the on-the-gos are the perfect size for me! Greatest invention EVER! LOL

    These would be great for me - I just need a little bit of chocolate sometimes. If it's a giant size candy bar I pick up, I'll eat the whole thing. If it's a mini bit like this, it would tide me over.

    I love that you can just have a few TWIX Bites and not blow your diet for the day but still get a taste of the good stuff! #client

    I love Twix. I haven't had these ones yet, but have had the Snickers Bites and I love how little they are, so you can have small amounts and leave some for another day! Great for snacking or adding to a diy trail mix!

      The Snickers ones are great too. I never thought to add it to a trail mix, that's a great idea!

The Friday Five, 9/11/20: 5 things I've been up to this week

Image
Quarantine, end of week 26, which makes this 50% of the year. But more importantly: where were you on 9/11/2001? I still remember it: I was in my freshman year English class, and they announced over the loudspeaker that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center towers. I turned to a friend and was like "What's going on?" and she said something like "I don't know but this is very bad." All after-school activities were canceled that day (swim team, for me), and for most of the day we just watched TV coverage. Pretty crazy that it was 19 years ago today. Grand Haven, MI beach and pier What I've been up to this week: A much-needed vacation . My last vacation or even my last trip was January in Vegas, before COVID-19 began. I've literally taken 0 days off of work this summer except for the Monday after the weekend of July 4th. Between that and my house stuff, I really needed a vacation. My boyfriend has Mondays and Tuesdays off work so we tra

Review and GIVEAWAY: Don Marcos Brand tortilla chips - a local Michigan brand! {ends 7/26}

Image
*Disclosure: I received Don Marcos products in exchange for this post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. I recently was able to try some products from a local Michigan brand, Don Marcos—they're based right around the corner from me, in Southfield! Most likely, if you live in the metro Detroit area, you have tried their tortilla chips without even knowing it, because they are major distributor to a lot of local restaurants. I guess this makes sense, but I never really put two and two together: that tortilla chips are made out of cut up tortillas, which are then baked. Don Marcos sells the unbaked version, so I got to make them myself at home! They were super hot and fresh directly out of the oven, and very crispy, too. To make them was easy: I preheated my oven to 375 degrees, I sprayed the chips with vegetable oil, and I sprinkled some salt across them. You only have to cook them for 7-8 minutes. Don Marcos also sells tortillas, like the ones pictured a
