Disadvantages: not a chocolate bar
Kellogg's Special K Bliss Cereal Bars
I have been having these snack bars for some time now and although I may not really be watching everything that goes into my mouth calorie wish I eat these bars purely because I do rather like them.
The Special K Bliss bars come in a variety of flavours but I have found the best tasting one to be the raspberry and chocolate flavour one. My next favourite flavour is the orange and chocolate one. Basically these bars are about 10cm in length and are made up of the Special K cereal, rice and real raspberry chunks all stuck together with a chocolate coating all the way along the bottom.
The packaging is rather nice and a little eye catching with the classic red K for the Special K logo and the fact that there are less than 90 calories spread across the front. There is also a picture of the fruit that is contained inside and it looks rather tempting.
The bar itself actually contains 88 calories (this is the raspberry one). It is suitable for vegetarians but does contain soy, oats, wheat and barley. The whole bar contains only 2grams of fat and only 1 of which is saturated.
On the whole they taste pretty good. The real fruit pieces do taste somewhat rubbery I find but not too much that it would deter me from eating the cereal bar. The chocolate layer at the bottom is really rather thin and to me doesn't have that much of a strong flavour even though it is dark cholate and usually stronger tasting. The bar is nice and crisps and the cereal and rice mixed together do make a nice crunch. In my mind I think it is rather refreshing and light. There is no horrible aftertaste left in your mouth and because of all the light crunchy ingredients it seems to give my mouth a good clean up instead of when I eat a chocolate bar and I have a tacky tasting mouth.
Of course you cannot compare this to a cholate bar because I am sure 9 times out of 10 I would choose a chocolate bar over this special K bar any day of the week. But i do think if you are looking for a light snack that will help you stay away from the more fattening biscuits for a few hours then this is it.
It smells ok but not wonderful as the odour tome smells a bit fake and plastic like. The taste is pretty good and the fact that the bars are low in fat and calories is a good reason to substitute a chocolate bar for one of these.
I would rate the Special K Cereal bars a good score of 9/10. Hey its no chocolate bar but it's a pretty nice snack.
I hope this has been of some help. Thanks for reading
