Don’t go crazy with these because the serving size is only one melba round with 1 1/2 teaspoons cheddar spread. They do pack 40% fat, so they’re what most consider to be a special occasion food. This probably won’t sit in your fridge on a daily basis because it could easily be eaten quickly because it is that yummy! You may only want to prepare it when friends are coming over. You can enjoy it, too, but don’t eat it mindlessly, only eat a few.
Having said all that, this spread is much better for you than most kick-off foods you’ll find at a typical party and some days are just about cutting loose a little. 😉
