Advantages: Low in fat, high in fibre, great taste

Disadvantages: You only get 15 in a pack, and at over £1 a box, it can work out pricey

I'm not a big fan of ryvita as they can be very plain - I've tried toppings on them in packed lunch but by the time I get round to eating them the topping has soaked into the crispbread and made it go all soggy!! So I thought I'd give these new Ryvita Crunh bars a try, as I heard that you can dunk them in your tea as a healthy alternative to a biscuit and yo dont need to put any topping on them. Whe I bought them the were £1.26 a box or two for £2, so I bit the bullet and bought two packs. They come in an attractive purple box, with the crispbreads inside within a sealed inner pack for freshness. You get aout 15 crispbreads in the pack - i know that doesnt sound a lot but once you get all the seeds etc on the top of them they can be quite thick! have tested dunking them in tea and can confirm that they are tasty!! I was very put off when someone mentioned dunking a ryvita in tea, as all I could think of was the original ryvita. But they do give a pleasant texture when dunked in tea. Be warned though - they can leave big bits at the bottom of the tea cup!
They are good for you as they are highh in fibre and low in fat. There are only 57 calories per slice, and only 0.1g of saturated fat. In a plain digestive biscuit there are around 70 calories, and a lot more fat!!
I dont think I'd advise putting a topping on these - they really are better off plain. I've eaten them plain (without dunking them) and they are not dry at all like the original ryvitas were. The raisins are what gives them their moist taste I think.
Overall I think these are very yummy and will definitely be buying them again - only problem is I get addicted to dunking them in my tea and before I know it half the packet is gone!!

Summary: Yummy. Even if you dont like the original ryvita, try these.
