If you love caramel and need something sweet these bars work out perfectly. I use them in place of a candy bar. They are only 150 calories but they taste like more. I use them to diet with even though they are for people with diabetes. They fill you up and don't give you the sugar high. I eat one and I'm not hungry again for a few hours. My husband likes them too! I have tried many low glycemic bars and these have been the best tasting. They satisfy the sweet cravings.

Seriously. It's like eating a real candy bar. It is so rich and satisfying that I can sometimes get away with just half a bar as a snack. I say sometimes, because having half a bar this tasty just sitting there is usually too much temptation. The mini bars are better for that.

Here's a little "trick" that will make each bar last longer and leave you feeling fuller. Drink at least 8 oz of water, hot water works better, and then have your bar or half a bar. Repeat in 1-2 hours.

There is no chalky or artificial taste and no aftertaste - none. These are even better than the regular power bars that are not low sugar or artificially sweetened.

I don't know how they are for moderating blood sugar levels as they claim, but I felt more satisfied and less hungry for longer than with other bars, including real candy bars.

Here's the nutritional breakdown of the ones I've tried so far. Sod-sodium, Pot=potassium

. . Oz . Cal/Fat . . Sod . . . Pot . . . . Flavor
. 0.70 . 060/25 . 060mg . 050mg . Chocolate peanut mini bar
. 2.04 . 210/50 . 085mg . 210mg . Chocolate chunk bar
. 1/41 . 150/35 . 150mg . 080mg . Chocolate caramel snack bar

My preferences are in order:

Chocolate Chunk: A slightly crunchy texture that's a little like a Rice Crispies treat. I think the crunchiness comes from something they call "soy protein nuggets. This is my favorite. Just like a really good candy bar.

Chocolate Peanut: Very nice combination of chocolate and peanut, chewy and crunchy. This is a close second.

Chocolate Caramel: A crunchy texture that is much more like a Rice Crispies treat. This one has "crisp soy nuggets". It has a strong caramel flavor, which is not my favorite, but I bet caramel lovers will like it.

Variety Pack: Only two flavors: Chocolate Peanut and Chocolate Caramel. Not much variety and all chocolate. It would have been nice to have gotten a box of blueberry, oatmeal raisin, and/or cinnamon bun

I am not a diagnosed diabetic, although the disease is in my family. I am, however, a pre-diabetic and have to watch my weight carefully. The glucerna snack bar has become my turn-to snack to ward off a sugar crash brought on by stress or exercise.

This snack met all my expectations to the NI,taste, size and texture. They are very chewy and loved that. Its very filling. I will keep buying these. They are 100 percent better than adkins, slimfast and Special K I have tried in the past. Can't wait to try the other kinds.

This tastes like candy and the texture is great...

For those of us that are diabetic I would highly recommend this as a snack or a treat.

These conveniently packaged snack bars have the balance of protein and carbs I need when I cannot have a regular meal. I like buying them in bulk so they're available to throw in my handbag whenever I leave the house in the morning to run errands most of the day.

This was a re-order from Amazon. These snack bars taste great and your blood glucose does not spike up after eating it. They sure do taste alot better than peanut butter on saltine crackers before bed....

For the calories, this is better than any candy or other snack. Tastes just like regular candy/chocolate bars but it's much more filling and doesn't lead to a sugar crash an hour later. Great for dieters or diabetics.

I am so grateful to Amazon for handling the Glucerna bars. I had to go through several kind to find the one that I liked. Then you could never find them at WalMart or the Drug store.That was very frustrating , because they are a good product for a diabetic.So needless to say I will be regularly be ordering these from you.Many thanks, Bev.

I like these bars, but I can taste the sugar substitutes. I still eat them regularly. They work as advertised - fill me up without spiking blood sugar.
