Endulge Chocolate Coconut Bar 15x35g

Atkins bars are the ones I fall back on when I really would go for full sugar chocolate without them. They taste good, satisfy the chocolate craving and stop me from reaching for things that would be worse for me. These coconut bars taste like the full sugar coconut bars sold by a mainstream company. Really very nice. However, there is a drawback. That is the sweetener Atkins insists on using. Maltitol. Maltitol syrup has a glycemic index of 52, which approaches that of table sugar at 60. The powdered form has a glycemic index of 35, which is still higher than most other sugar alcohols and higher than all artificial sweeteners. This is NOT a low carb friendly sweetener. There are much better ones out there, and natural like Monk fruit or Yacon. Still, this is better for me than eating high sugar bars. I wouldn't dream of eating these every day; as a treat they don't do much harm.

These looked good for my low carb diet and, at the price I paid, excellent value. They tasted just like a Bounty and were a tasty afternoon treat. However, even on just one bar a day I found I was spending a little too much time in the watering closet! I had to give them up after a week. The price has doubled since I bought them and they are no longer very good value for money, especially as you will need extra loo roll as well.

Absolutely delicious. Will satisfy even the sweetest tooth, the chocolate is super-smooth & the coconut tastes just like a Bounty! Who says you can't have something sweet when following a very low carb diet?

I bought these months ago and, aside from the two I sampled (in the hope that one was just off) they're still in a cupboard. Basically, they taste like that awful American chocolate that's made with soured milk, so basically taste like vomit. I was so hoping they'd be a nice addition to the low-sugar snacks I enjoy, but even my children spat out their mouthfuls when they tried them.I don't know if I just got a bad batch, or if some people are okay with the taste of bile and stomach acid, but they're not just unpleasant, one bite and I can't get rid of the taste for a while afterwards. It's an awful pity because I really wanted to like them.

I first purchased these when they were a reasonable price, but since then they have dramatically increased in cost. I will keep an eye out for when they reduce again but I am not willing to pay over £40 for a box.They taste fab though and I am on keto diet and use these as a mid afternoon snack to hit my sweet craving. they taste similar to bounty bars though you can tell by the taste they are made with sweeteners and not sugar, but afterall that's why you are buying low carb in the first place
