This review is from: CarbRite SugarFree Bars, 12 bars (Health and Beauty)

The "CarbRite Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars" are a good choice for those seeking low carb snacks. Being a type 2 diabetic, I am always looking for low carb products that taste good. Here are my observations:

Pros:
+ Good Tasting; these are not candy bars and the peanut butter flavor is subtle, but they taste much better than most other "low carb" bars I have tried
+ Low Carb; only 2.5 NET carbs, but a lot of the other carbs come from Maltitol (see "Cons", below)
+ High Protein; 21g per bar
+ Very Filling; unlike a lot of other low carb snacks, these bars are actually fairly filling (likely due to the high protein content)

Cons:
- Contains Maltitol, which can cause "gastric distress" in some people - start of with small amounts if you don't know it will affect your system

Misc:
* 190 Calories per bar
* Chewy Consistency

Overall, these bars are a satisfying low carb snack choice that have a good flavor and do not significantly impact my blood sugar levels.

Recommended! There are several flavors made by CarbRite and I also like Doctor's CarbRite Diet Sugar Free Bar, Chocolate Brownie, 2-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)
