Why have an Atkins or Zone candy bar when you can stick with your old favorites? Hershey recently introduced two new sugar-free and low-carb versions of its best-selling chocolates, including sugar-free Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and candy bars with only 1 gram of carbs. Calorie-counting teens who still crave the real thing can grab a stack of Swoops, new Pringles-looking chocolates. They're made from Hershey's original recipes, but have less than half the calories of a normal chocolate snack.

"I like the new Swoops because they totally satisfy my chocolate craving when I want a taste of something 'bad.' I have one or two guilt-free, and back in the box they go. Swoops are a great way to have not too much of the real thing."
