I've tried every protien bar out there, and don't care for most of them. The South Beach bars are different. No, they aren't a Snickers bar, but they don't have the taste and consistency of chalk either. Imagine a rice krispy treat, with protien instead of all the sticky sweet. I think they're great.

These bars are really good. I was wary at first, since I'm sensitive to maltitol, and its used a lot in these bars... but having no more than one bar a day was fine. Pretty good chocolate flavor (can sometimes get that off-sugar alcohol flavor). Though I really love the soy-crisp top part -- even better than a rice krispie treat. I like these bars more than the cinammon+creme ones (which taste quite artificial).

I'm not on South Beach, but I LOVE these... In fact, I'm doing Weight Watchers, and these bars are about 4 points. What I find is that splitting one in half is a GREAT 2-point snack. Sweet, chewy, chocolaty, filling. I love the fact that it's got a lot of protein and fiber, and not a lot of sugar or fat. It's a good alternative to candy bars, which are my weakness... And I agree with the other reviews, most of these types of bars taste terrible, but these are great.

Many people out there will agree that this is the best TASTING bar out there (I especially love 'em cold) - but as far as nutrition and well-being are concerned, all I have to say is "DO THE RESEARCH, PEOPLE." You will not find a bar that packs a better overall punch than this little guy here. 19G of protein rivals (and even beats) many of the chalky, powdery, crap-tastic bars selling for 2-3 times as much. This bar is VERY low on calories as well, and you will be hard-pressed to find a bar with that kind of protein/calorie ratio. And lastly (as if it needs another selling point), for those watching their sugar and carb intake, this bar is an excellent choice with a low net carb value.

I have lost over one hundred pounds in a little over 18 months now, thanks to a very hard work ethic and well-balanced, great-tasting foods like the fine people at Kraft have created here. But don't trust me, try a few different brands first (remember to read labels) and let the taste of this bar make the decision for you!

Good nutrition: high in protein and fiber, low in fat. They taste much better than expected, but have a drink handy because they're dry and chewy. A good snack for anyone, not just those on diets.

Thank you for my order of South Beach Meal Bars. I had no idea I could order these online, and I am thrilled with my order. I was afraid they would arrive gooey and melted (a late-June order), but I was pleasantly surprised. The price was about what I'd pay in a grocery store since I qualified for free shipping. I was 100% satisfied with this order!

I could kick myself for not reading the reviews first. Someone else wrote this and I too got trapped by it - the nutrition listing on this site is wrong. Do not buy this product based on the nutrition label. It is not a high protein, low carb bar as it only has 12 g of protein (not 19 as stated on this website) and it has 25 g of carbs (not 6 as stated on the website). And the as someone also wrote, has more sugar than the website says.

I have been buying these 12-pack bars through Amazon, but the product now shipping has been reduced in size for the same price as the original larger bars. This isn't Amazon's fault, but be aware that you will receive the "new improved" product. I found that the new product at my grocery store cost $6.99 for a box of 6, so the 12-pack is no longer a good deal. Bummer!

I ordered the chocolate peanut butter ones and they are good. They are like rice krispies with chocolate on bottom and peanut butter on the top. They aren't very sweet and tasty but better than most. They are a little bigger than a normal size candy bar. Only con is the price, over $1.50 each.

Apparently these have changed slightly from the earlier South Beach Chocolate Meal-replacement bars. The chocolate is more melty/less waxy, and they taste very slightly salty (don't have an old box to compare sodium but that's how they taste). Overall, a small improvement in taste, but in the field of low-glycemic meal-replacement bars, these are still the best thing going.
