TastyKake Sensables Sugar Free Chocolate Chocoalate Chip Soft Cookie Bar

TastyKake Sensables Tastykake Sensables is a new sugar-free line of snacks from TastyKake. I tried the chocolate chocolate chip cookie bar, but they also make chocolate chip cookie bars as well as chocolate chip and orange finger cakes. The TastyKake double chocolate chip bar has a deep brown chocolatey color and I could see quite a few pieces of chocolate chips too. Maybe that is why I was expecting it to be very sweet, and I was somewhat disappointed when I tasted it and it wasn't as sweet as I expected. I think my expectation may have clouded my judgement a little since my 10 year old cousin tried it and loved it! She didn't think it wasn't sweet enough, and she especially loved the chocolate chips.

But if you're thinking you are going to have a low calorie treat for your kids with these TastyKake double chocolate chip bars, think again! There are 1.5 grams of trans fat in each bar. Most people who eat sugar free products are concerned about their health or have health issues, so I expect companies that make sugar free products should not use ingredients that promote health problems! Find an alternative. There are also 2.5 grams of saturated fat and if you add the trans fat to this, you would be getting 20% of the daily requirement of saturated fat (I add them together since trans fat is just as bad for your health (if not worse) as saturated fat).

The other nutrition facts for Tastykake Sensables Chocolate Chocolate Chip include 140 calories, 8 grams of fat which is 13% of the daily value, 3 grams of fiber and 11 grams of the sugar alcohol, maltitol - 21 grams of total carbs and 7 grams of net carbs for one cookie bar. The cookie bar is bigger than your regular cookie and costs $3.79 for a box with 6 cookie bars, which is a bit expensive in my opinion.

I will not be buying any TastyKake product again, at least until they get rid of the trans fat. For sugar free cookies, I would prefer Milano Sugar Free cookies or York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties. The Milano cookies are not much better in terms of calories or total fat, and 3 York Peppermint Patties have less calories but 27 grams of sugar alcohols which may cause stomach upset if you eat a whole lot more than 3 at once, but none of those two options have trans fats and they both taste better than the Tastykake Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bar.

The best thing I've seen was sugar free fudge.
