True , but when you roll them in to little balls; it's not going to be that much.IMO , it's better than eating a regular cookie or something along those lines. I haven't tried it yet, I just saw it tonight, and figured I would share it with everyone else here. I normally have 1 dark chocolate truffle at the end of the night (5 are 180 calories per the box), and I just cheek it to make it last longer.
