When the mercury started rising, we hit the supermarkets, scouring the freezer section for the tastiest low-calorie ice cream treats. We tried a few, and we selected three 100-calorie treats to share with you. (There were a few higher-calorie runner-ups, too!) Read on to find out what we thought! Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle bars They say: "My divinely decadent chocolate ice cream bar, drizzled with chocolatey ribbons, is surprisingly skinny." We say: "The Skinny Cow Truffle Bars are delicious, amazing, fantastic. Seriously, I love these. They're creamy and chocolatey." "I tried the truffle and it was very good for 100 calories. I would consider buying them. I usually buy Skinny Cow at home. This would just be another lighter ice cream option." "One word: Ahhh…"   6 bars for $4.99. Find store info here.  Slim a Bear 100-Calorie Sandwiches They say: Staying healthy? Easy does it with our precounted100-calorie sandwiches. Choose the low-fat, artificially flavored vanilla or chocolate ice cream, both sandwiched between chocolate-flavored wafers. We say: "I thought Slim-a-Bear was a great 100-calorie snack; it's a tasty ice-cream sandwich and not super tiny like some of the other 100-calorie things!" "These are GOOD ice cream sandwiches. They're not too small, and the cookie part is rich and full of chocolate flavor. A really good calorie bargain!"  6 bars for $4.99. Find store info here.  And for the lactose intolerant among us: So Delicious Minis (Made with Coconut Milk) They say: "The perfect snack size treat that you can feel good about eating. With an agave sweetened center, our So Delicious made with Coconut Milk Sandwich Minis are the perfect snack." We say: "As the resident lactose intolerant ice cream lover, my cravings often go unfulfilled. I've tried other nondairy ice creams, and they taste fake and weird. Every Turtle Mountain product I've ever tried is DIVINELY DELICIOUS! We also tasted some pints of ice cream, other treats and coconut milk. I had heard such rave reviews that I asked the company to send us some products. I'm a convert. But what really stole my heart were these ice cream sandwiches." "I didn't know these weren't "real" ice cream. There isn't a strong coconut flavor, but there is a definite creaminess to them. I can tell they aren't sweetened with corn syrup--there's no weird aftertaste. These taste cleanly sweet. I would eat them again." "I thought these would be super expensive, but they're about the same price as other ice cream bars. These are really good. I like them. Even if you do eat dairy, these are a tasty option."  8 sandwiches for $4.99 Find store info here. Our runners-up, which all have fewer than 200 calories each:
