3 Musketeers Dark Chocolate Mint Candy, 1.24-Ounce Bars (Pack of 24) Review

3 Musketeers Dark Chocolate Mint Candy, 1.24-Ounce Bars (Pack of 24)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Everybody knows that old standby, the 3 Musketeers, right? Well, this is not the 3 Musketeers you remember, it's all new. When you open up this wrapper you find two smaller bars, each one robed in sweet dark chocolate and filled with a fluffy mint inside. And, what's nice is that each one of the two bars only has 75 calories (25 calories from fat), so if you just eat one, you have a delicious snack that comes in at under 100 calories.
This is serious candy, with the adult customer in mind. It has a more serious taste, one that you will love. (Do what I do, pop the bar in the refrigerator, and eat it cold!) My wife and I really love this candy bar, and we highly recommend it!

Caribou Coffee Bars, Chocolate Mocha, 7.4-Ounces (Pack of 6) Review

I spoke with General Mills today (twice, before I got the real scoop). Caribou Coffee bars are no longer being made. CALL THEM at 800-248-7310 and tell them how disappointed you are! Maybe they will bring them back. Truly the best tasting bars ever made. I've been having one for breakfast with my coffee every morning for over a year. I have just one bar left, perhaps I should save it to reverse-engineer the recipe, or sell it on ebay for a small fortune?

I wish that Kellogg's would return to the previous style of these, the Strawberry Filled Mini Wheats, the raisin filled and the blueberry filled were much better than these frosted varieties.

Snickers Marathon Protein Bar Chocolate Nut Burst - 12 Bars Review

Snickers Marathon Protein Bar Chocolate Nut Burst - 12 Bars
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Snickers Marathon Chocolate Nut Burst Protein Bars are a middle of the road protein/energy bar. I really like the taste of these, and their 22g of protein is the highest content of any of the protein bars that I regularly eat - Cliff Builder, Kashi, and Promax being the others. They are also fairly high in electrolytes with 360mg of Sodium and 260mg of Potassium, and these are important to those who train hard and need the extra minerals. The one downside to these is that their sugar content (at least in part) comes from corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup. The other products that I mentioned avoid this by using more natural sources such as evaporated cane juice. Because of the sweetener, I do not use any of the Snickers products as my primary protein bars. I use them more as a change of pace to keep from burning out on the others. For the more nutritious conscious, I would recommend products from Cliff, Kashi, or Promax. While these are better than a regular candy bar, you can still do better.

Snickers Marathon ENERGY Bar Crunchy Dark Chocolate 12 Bars Review

Snickers Marathon ENERGY Bar Crunchy Dark Chocolate 12 Bars
Average Reviews:

I am hoping this will be included in the Amazon Prime selection soon because as a frequent protein- and nutrition-bar consumer, this one is the best I've found so far.
I also like Odwalla Super Protein, Kashi Protein Roll bars, and Atkins Nutrition bars, but they are all 190-250 calories which I find a bit too high in calories for an afternoon or mid-morning snack.
This Marathon Nutrition (different from Marathon Energy) bars comes in two flavors, almond nut crunch and dark chocolate, and the dark chocolate flavor is excellent and true to the description. It has no discernible metallic/chalky aftertaste that many of the fortified bars have (although this includes a good range of vitamins and minerals too), and contains the following macronutrients:
Calories: 150
Protein: 11g
Carb: 22g with 7g fiber and 9g sugar
Fat: 4.5g
150 is just right for me, and 11 grams of protein with that calories profile is EXCELLENT. Most of all, it's delicious.
The only drawback that I can see in these bars is the relative unavailability in markets (I think it's still new), and its non-organic ingredients. Overall, excellent, healthy product from a candy brand.

Kashi GOLEAN Bar, Peanut Butter & Chocolate, 2.75-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) Review

Kashi GOLEAN Bar, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, 2.75-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If I am famished from hunger, and a real meal is many hours off, I don't feel bad about eating one of these glorified candy bars as a mini-meal. It is filling and satisfying, and if you put chocolate and peanut butter on a shoe, I'd probably like it. The chocolate coating is formulated for durability and it does that job well, although there is a price to be paid in taste. The filling, however, is the best part. Peanutty and chewy, the grains, chocolate and peanut butter combine brilliantly leaving me wanting another one or three.
The problem with bars like this is that they are neither plain candy bars nor real nutrition, and they have to balance the great taste of candy with the fact that they actually have to have some nutritional value to compensate for the huge premium the makers charge for this bar over a plain old candy bar. Kashi does this better than most of the competition, and their bar is a bit larger and sturdier than most, which makes it the first choice for my gym bag or purse for an emergency meal.
Try not to let these slip from "emergency food" to "substitute for lunch" or "regular snack." These bars, although healthier than candy, are not a real meal, do not have the fiber and nutrients to hold you over to the next real meal, and are a lot more candy bar than piece of fruit. These are good to keep in a bag for a day when you have no alternatives, but if you find that there are too many emergencies to be good for your health or your waistline, try putting an apple in that purse instead.

Haribo Gummy Candy, Sugarless Gummy Bears, 5-Pound Bag Review

Haribo Gummy Candy, Sugarless Gummy Bears, 5-Pound Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I lived in Germany and have consumed my share of gummi bears. :) These sugar free bears are very good. This type of candy suits itself to sugar free treatment. Much like hard candy. You don't get the big taste difference like you do with lots of the chocolate sugar free treats.
A word on some of the reviews listed here on Amazon... Sugar Free candies are not meant to be eaten by the handfull. Sugar Free is mostly made for people that can't process the Sugar and people that are in this category have all learned from experience, you don't eat Sugar Free sweets in any large amount.
I have a mild case of Type II which I am gratefully able to control by diet alone and can tell you personally that these candies are very good if you are in a Gummi mood. The affect on my blood sugar is typical of this sort of treat. Just as I wouldn't eat 50 carbs of anything, a snack of this type is only around 10 bears.
People living with health issues concerning Blood Sugar understand the requirement. Those just looking to cut carbs or lose a bit of weight may want to re-think eating most sugar free treats and look into other type of sweets to satisfy.

Sezme Sesame Snaps, 1.4-Ounce Snaps (Pack of 24) Review

Sezme Sesame Snaps,  1.4-Ounce Snaps (Pack of 24)
Average Reviews:

When I first tried these confections many years ago (in the early 90's) I instantly loved them. They are toasted sesame seeds bound together with a honey glazing. That is all - honey and sesame seeds. But boy are they good and addictive. The only negative side to this treat is that the four individual wafers contained in each package tend to stick together and sometimes they do not break away cleanly from each other. This is to be expected though given the nature of the ingredients and is a small inconvenience. The product is made in, of all places, Poland and I find it gratifying to be able to purchase a product from a country that has come so far, economically and socially, in the last 20 years. If you want a simple, delicious, and nutritious confection, look no further - this is it.

Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars, Fruit & Nut, 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 12) Review

Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars, Fruit and Nut, 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Shame on Nature Valley for trying to pull the wool over our eyes! If you were a fan of these bars when they first came out, then be warned. The recipe has changed and the bars are much different and NOT for the better. Not only are they much smaller, they also contain far fewer nuts/fruit and the bar itself now has an airier consistency like the Rice Krispie's treat.
How do I know all this? I bought these bars on a regular basis from Costco and still had some leftover bars from the first batch and I was able to compare them side by side. These were always my favorite hiking snack and now they aren't much better than every other bar out there. I think Nature Valley will quickly regret its decision once they realize that their are a lot of unhappy customers. I'd gladly pay a little extra if it meant keeping the bars the way they were.
If you don't believe me then by all means buy them and judge for yourself.

South Beach Living Fiber Fit Bars, Mocha, 5-Count Bars in 6.15-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 8) Review

South Beach Living Fiber Fit Bars, Mocha, 5-Count Bars in 6.15-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 8)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These FiberFit bars in Mocha flavor have no HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) nor any transfats, which is a very good thing. Each bar has 4g of fat (2.5 sat fat), 120 calories, 9g of fiber (very good for its size!), 125mg of sodium (not too bad) and 7g of sugars (not bad for a granola bar, since they are often glorified candy bars). My only two concerns nutritionally are that there are 3g of sugar alcohols (I've heard bad things about those) and that there is only 2g of protein. The latter is only a problem if you plan to use these bars as a meal replacement. With all that fiber, it may fill you up for a while, but with that little protein, it is very unlikely to last you to your next meal, esp. given the small size.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste. Mocha, a combination of chocolate and coffee flavors, is one of my favorite flavors of ice cream, so I thought I'd probably enjoy this flavor of granola bar and I did. It has a distinct mocha flavor. It is also chewy (and a little gooey due to the caramel layer) and a little crunchy. I rarely ever buy granola bars, but I liked these quite a bit!
