I usually sample the candy as I make the Easter baskets for the kids. This year I was saved from the chocolate Easter Bunnies. I did have candy, it was delicious and so much healthier (sugar free candy!!!) than the colorful wrapped Easter candy.
I sampled two flavors of Atkins Endulge Bars. Oh, and my son sampled them with me and loved them. We received samples of the Atkins - Endulge Caramel Nut Chew Bars and my favorite Endulge Peanut Butter Cups.
The bars taste as good as the common candy bars like Snickers and Reese's at the store. The peanut butter cups aren't as creamy and soft as the Reese's but they tasted better to me and my son. A kid will tell you if candy tastes bad. The Atkins bars passed with flying colors.
I will keep the Chocolate peanut butter cups for the times I crave something sweet. I don't eat a lot of sweets and seldom crave candy but since these are low carb with 1 gram of sugar I don't feel bad eating one every now and then.
One caution, the bars contain maltitol as a sugar replacement. Maltitol can cause intestinal discomfort. Usually this takes the form of intestinal gas and cramping, but some people may find themselves with diarrhea. Limit to one bar a day and start with a small amount and judge the reaction.
I bought the chocolate coconut bar to sample and if you like Mounds coconut candy bar you will love the Atkins Endulge Chocolate Coconut bars.
I didn't sample the Peanut Caramel Cluster Bar because I was more interested in the chocolate bars.
Atkins offers many more bars to satisfy your sweet tooth. I sampled several of the Advantage bars and liked them all. The Atkins Advantage Mudslide Bar was another favorite of mine. You will need to brush your teeth after eating the mudslide bar, it's like eating an Oreo.
See Atkins Low-Carb Sweet Snacks here for a few Atkins bars that will fit in your low-carb diet.
I still promote eating real whole foods for health and still believe eating low carb is the way for weight loss. But, from time to time eating a processed low carb candy bar is satisfying and won't kill you.
Try the Atkins candy bars and other low-carb treats and let us know how you liked them.
