If I told you Fig Newtons were a favorite cookie of mine as a child, I'd be lying. In my mind they were only slightly better than nothing. Nothing on the other hand was better than the sugar-free hard candies that lived in a bowl on our kitchen countertop for a year or so before someone finally threw them out. When Fig Newtons were in-stock (pantry, top shelf) I would occasionally get a duo of them in my lunch box. This wasn't anything I looked forward to really, I could barely give them...
