It’s been a while since we did a protein bar review so we went in search of the latest and greatest in low carb snack bars. We were fortunate to find a new offering from a familiar face. The Atkins Advantage Caramel Chocolate Peanut Nougat Bar looked interesting, and ended up being a really good buy. This bar is a very good combination of chocolate, peanuts, and caramel. The nougat is somewhat understated, and does not leave you with the dried out feeling that some of the other Atkins bars do. The caramel is sweet and seems to add a little moisture to the mix. There are more peanut pieces than we were expecting, and the peanut flavor is not overwhelmed by the other ingredients. Actually, the peanut taste lingers for quite some time after finishing the bar, which is a bonus as far as we’re concerned. This is definitely one of the better tasting Atkins products we’ve tested, and we’re glad to recommend it.
Serving size for the Atkins Advantage Caramel Chocolate Peanut Nougat Bar is one bar. Each bar contains 170 calories, 11 grams of fat, and 150mg of sodium. One bar also contains 115mg of potassium, 8 grams of digestible carbohydrate, 11 grams of fiber, and 10 grams of protein. Each bar also contains between ten and twenty percent of the recommended daily intake of quite a few vitamins and minerals. The product contains soy, milk, and peanuts; and is made in the same facilities as other products that contain peanuts and other nuts and seeds.
I totally agree. Years ago the Atkins bars tasted like flavored sand. In the past year or so, they have really improved. Many of the new bars do not contain any sugar alcohol, which is good.
