Default WONDERFUL low-carb chocolate products!!!

I just found the most wonderful thing, since I've started Atkins (low-carbing), back in April. They are chocolate candy bars, produced by Atkins and also by a company called "Carb Solutions". Both taste absolutely AMAZING for being so low-carb. If you're anything like me, you NEED chocolate, and these bars are wonderful. They aren't like the energy bars, or Atkins breakfast bars (which I am not too fond of!!!) They are just like a hershey bar and taste great.

Also, they are NOT expensive...only 96 cents, at my local wal-mart. But, I'm sure you can buy them online, but at a higher price, with S&H included.

The Atkins bar has 17gr of carbs, 11g sugar alcohols and 3g of fiber, which leaves only 2gr of impact carbs. The front of the carb solutions wrapper says 0 impact carbs...but on the website (www.carbsolutions.com) there are 14gr sugar alcohols, leaving 3g of impact carbs; however, these numbers are INCREDIBLY low, for the taste and texture of these candy bars!!!

If you're gonna get some, but your skeptical and only wanna get one, just to try, don't bother. You'll love them (as long as you like chocolate!!!). I PROMISE!!!

Happy, chocolately day!!!

Tara,
Thanks for the info. I have also found some at WalMart that are called Pure De-lite chocolate bars. They have 3 grams of impact carbs. They have different flavors, I like the chocolate with mint. They are also 96 cents! Happy chocolate eating!!

Smile Pure de-lite!!

I tried the Pure de-lite choc-coconut bar today! YUM!! But I spent $1.89 at Winn Dixie. Where did you get yours?

They do taste like real chocolate...I can't believe they're sugar free!

I love the taste of these Carb Solution bars! They taste EXACTLY like regular chocolate.

However, they give me (TMI) gas, nausea and terrible headaches . . . and I've heard the same from others.

So don't stock up until you know how they treat you!
