Focus 28 - Crispy Fudge & Graham Bar
08/31/2009
I tried a new bar today from Focus28's offerings: The Crispy Fudge + Graham Bar. (I was sorting through the selections we have in the cabinet from F28 - and Mr. was busy snagging all the choices HE wanted to bring to have at work. I had to dig through and make sure he left the ones I really wanted to try, his reviews thus far have been, "That one is really good. Let me see the box.")
F28 says:
"Our Crispy Fudge & Graham Bar has the old fashioned taste of graham crackers topped with sweet, silky fudge, just like a smores. For a quick and satisfying breakfast or a snack on the go, Crispy Bars are the perfect choice. They top the charts when it comes to great taste and innovative nutrition. Formulated with 15 grams of protein and only 160 calories, they make the perfect healthy snack anytime. Here is a perfect anytime snack for people controlling net carb intake. Focus 28 bars help subdue sweet cravings. They provide a balanced blend of slow and fast acting proteins for long lasting satisfaction."
Long lasting satisfaction. I'll take it. Now, I didn't catch any S'mores action, however, I never believe the descriptions on products anyway. ;)
This bar was GOOD.
It's a protein crispy-nuggeted top (that's what I said, and I'm sticking to it) bar dipped in a chocolate coating, and I loved it. The bar is crispy AND chewy, and quite sweet. I'm a big proponent of sweet, and especially things that taste naughty, so this definitely hit MY sweet spot. In fact, I would eat this instead of a more inappropriate choice, like a cookie, for less calories and more food with better nutrition. (That isn't always the case.)
