Do you feel guilty after eating even one, considering the nutritional impact?

Amount Per Serving:
Calories 300
Calories from Fat 99
Total Fat 11.0g
Total Carbohydrates 45.0g

Can we do better, nutritionally and price-wise?

Signing UpStep 1What You Need
What you need:
- 1 pack of 6-to-a-pack pecan spins (or twirls) in the plastic tray, most local grocery stores have them in the bread aisle. Mrs. Freshley's (R) is a common brand, but others are out there. Usual price from $0.80 to $1.20.
- 1 container Betty Crocker (R) whipped butter cream frosting (or other brands/flavors per your preference). Usually in the baking goods aisle for around $1.70. Alternatives: make your own butter cream or cream cheese icing; plenty of recipes on the web (I can't vouch the nutrition info will be the same, though the price will probably be lower).
- 1 spatula or butter knife.
- Half-tablespoon measuring spoon, if you're precise.
- Plate (reduce trash, use a recyclable paper plate, or a washable plate).
- Microwave oven (standard disclamer: microwave ovens are all different, cooking times may vary).
