Let's get this out of the way.  Yes, my wife and I have worked extremely hard to change our lifestyle and eating habits and lost approximately 150 pounds.  No, we're not falling off the wagon.  That being said, we're not immune to an occasional indulgence and this looks like a simple one to engage in.  On my list of favorite candy bars of all time, Twix is near the top.  On my list of favorite sweet treats, cookies are atop the list.  So, if you tell me you can combine these two?  Uh, count me all in.  Further, what suckers me in to these is the simplicity.  I just read this morning that the average person has fifteen recipes committed to memory.  This cookie has just five ingredients and easy directions.  No doubt this could become one of my fifteen in the blink of an eye.

Here are some stats on Super Sunday eating:  1.4 billion pounds of chicken wings will be consumed this weekend.  12 million pizzas and 11.2 million pounds of chips will be eaten on Sunday alone.  As easy and delicious as these Twix cookies are, I and my waistline will be forever thankful I can't figure a way to mass produce to these levels by game time!
