 Great! July 27, 2010

I don't understand what all the complaining is about, I love these bars! They're chocolatey, crunchy, chewy, and delicious, and 10% more nutrition than cookies or candy. I didn't notice any artificial sweetner after-taste at all. They quench my chocolate craving so I was actually able to lose quite a bit of weight since I started eating them in place of candy or cookies (combined with a healthy low calorie diet)a few weeks ago. yes, I agree, you are tempted to eat more than one, but thats how it is with all snacks! I keep them in the freezer and just thaw one a few minutes before I plan to eat it, that solves the problem of having more than one.
Good stuff!

It's been a couple of weeks since we received a case of these SlimFast Souble-Dutch Chocolate bars, and I will say right off the bat that I'm going to miss them when they're finally gone. Of course, every Halloween, when we're stuck with a bowl full of Reeces, Almond Joy, and Snickers Fun Size bars, we miss those when they're gone, too. Chocolate, after all, is a seratonin-releaser that makes us happy, and a few gleeful bites of happiness is what these SlimFast bars are.
These bars are just shy of 3" long, 1" wide, and 5/8" deep. That's about four small snack-size bites. I can easily wipe a bar out in two bites. At 100 calories, 30 of them are from fat, almost half of which is saturated fat... no trans fat, no cholesterol. There are 16 grams of carbs; 7 grams sugars, 1 gram protein, and 2 grams fiber. On the SlimFast 3*2*1 Plan, you can eat three of these a day (information on this plan can be found at [...]).
The first time my wife had one, she was a chocosnob and said "I suppose this could pass for chocolate in a pinch." The next day, she had another and cursed them for how good they were. They're a little like Whatchamacallit bars (do they still exist?) without the peanut butter flavor (and I think SlimFast has them in PB as well)... they have a moderately dark "chocolate flavored coating" and the insides are a fudgey, airy crispy-crunchies that make for a good, satisfying chewing experience.
The plain truth about these bars to me is that A) I think they're quite tasty B) I don't think the nutritional information is all that great, especially considering that C) people like me will always want to have a second right after the first. And perhaps a third... The whole point, of course, is that the flavor of these things will satisfy the craving after those three or four bites, so they're great when you pack one for work, but when they're in a cabinet nearby, and you know it, then willpower needs to be exercised... and when you're on a diet, isn't that what you need anyway?
I really have enjoyed these bars, and aside from the sheer snacking and flavor considerations, I should have been on a diet to better evaluate the diet considerations. I'm not a SlimFast dieter, so I can only comment on the pure enjoyment factors of these bars, and I can honestly give them 4-out-of-5 stars for that. Like I said... I'm gonna miss them when they're gone!

The "serving size" for this item is a single bar, which is approximately 23 grams, with 100 calories. A basic Hershey's bar is 43 grams, with 210 calories. That means one of these slim-fast bars has 4.35 calories per gram, and a Hershey's bar has 4.88 calories per gram. The difference is negligible. If you eat half a Hershey's bar, or one of those "fun size" candy bars that we hand out at Halloween, you are eating roughly the same mass, and same calorie content as one of these bars. Not surprisingly, regular candy bars taste better and cost less, too. These bars are dry, with just a slightly crispy texture and the flavor of very cheap chocolate. These things are a scam.
I don't know why I keep accepting these types of things when Amazon offers them to me as a Vine reviewer. There are no short-cuts to good health.
 for $0.61 each, a little pricey October 24, 2009

Slim Fast has rolled out it's new 3-2-1 plan: basically buy and eat their products for most of your day, through 3 "snacks" (100 calories) and 2 "meals" (200 calories) then 1 sensible dinner (500 calories) on your own. This plan sounds great on paper, though for a nursing mom like me is no where near enough calories for a day. But I digress. The taste is what everyone else mentioned, sweet but short. It's basically over in 2-3 bites, and you are left thinking it should have been more. But follow it up with a big glass of water, it makes it a bit more filling. But then that sweet taste is gone. The fiber content is 2g. But is IS tasty and chocolately, especially compared to a lot of other bars out there that taste like cardboard. Give it a try to see if it works for you. For me, I am not following the entire plan because it's just too full of chemicals, but I will buy them once in a while.
tasty but gone in 2 bites October 23, 2009
Well, BLEEP You Too (A Southern Californian Forced into Washinton state)
Let's face, Who in their right mind would want a chocolate bar smaller than their index finger? Well, Apparently, SlimFast thinks people do.
While these pack a great taste for such a small bite, They're not exactly the healthiest snack.
1. They have 16 carbs, and 7 are from Sugar alone. So people trying to watch their sugar intake might want to aviod these
2. Given their size, unless They are not that satisfying for a snack.
3. 100 Calories seems a bit much for something so small.
If you can spare 200 calories a day, I suggest eating 2 of these, Much more satisfying.
Great taste, Just way too small
