Right, I was forced into the Special K Double Milk Chocolate bar purchase because my local shop was out of Alpen Light bars. I needed something for my snack that was roughly in line with Slimming World diet and this was the nearest I could get. I am a huge fan of Alplen Light for their taste, texture and density so was hoping the Special K bar would be the same.

Stats first: - Box of 6 for £1.99 (on offer). Each bar is 20g and provides 80 calories or 2g fat, all good so far. The description is of a rice and wheat cereal bar with milk choc pieces dipped in milk choocolate, sounds scrummy for 80 calories I thought!

Once opened the bar is indeed cereal, choc pieces and with a one side coating of chocolate but that is as good as it gets. The bar is very sweet to eat and the chocolate is quite powdery in taste and fairly much covers the taste of the cereal element. On top of that there is none of the density to the bar of Alpen light. The bar is very sparse and fairly airy once broken in half and in one chew it is gone, so really not very fulfilling or satisfying. The high level of sweetness also left me with a serious sweet craving following eating it.

Disappointing product.
