Fifty50 No Sugar Added Chocolate Coated Peanut Butter Snack Bars

Fifty50 Snack bars Fifty50 makes low glycemic, sugar free foods primarily for diabetics. The name fifty50 is indicative of the fact that they contribute 50% of their profits to diabetes research. I decided to try their "No Sugar Added Chocolate Coated Peanut Butter Snack Bars" and I really wanted to like it because the company is doing such a good thing - but I didn't.

Fifty50 Snack bars The Fifty50 chocolate coated peanut butter snack bars looks like two squares of chocolate. If you just take a bite off the edge so you get a taste of only the chocolate coating, it does remind me a little bit of chocolate. It has the smooth texture you would expect from chocolate but it is not as sweet or as creamy - sort of like chocolate's 2nd cousin - not too far removed, but far enough. The peanut butter middle layer is like a wafer. It doesn't have a very strong peanut butter taste - thankfully because I am not really a big peanut butter fan (sad but true) - and if you can forgive the fact that it is not as sweet as you expected (it is after all 'no sugar added') then I think you might like find the taste not entirely unpleasant. If you are diabetic, then this would be a good substitute. If you are just avoiding chocolate because you're on a diet - forget about this. The print on the wrapper says, "Not a low calorie food" and there is a good reason why.

Those two bars constitute one serving which is 190 calories, 14 grams of fat which is 22% of the daily value, 7 grams from saturated fat which is 34% of the daily value, 0.5 grams of trans fat. There are 17 grams total carbohydrates which includes 3 grams of sugars and 11 grams of maltitol (sugar alcohol).

You know the drill about sugar alcohols - too much will send you to the bathroom. How much is too much? It varies according to the individual. One of these didn't really do much to me. I had another one for the next two days - and no side effects.

One bag has 7 snack bars and cost about $3.00. Check out the review of Turtle Mountain's Cherry Nirvana Ice Cream (diary free). Half a cup is 190 calories and 9 grams of fat. So a not so great tasting chocolate bar, or a 1/2 cup of ice cream ... hmmm ...
