Ouma Muesli Rusks (2 Pack)

Ouma Muesli RusksThis South African traditional snack is delicious dipped in your morning coffee. Just a few rusks are hearty enough to be a quick, tasty breakfast. Ouma brand is the best for rusks in my opinion. Rusks are like home style biscotti thick hard, crusty, bread-like dipping sticks. Do not try to eat a rusk that hasn't been dunked or you'll need to see your dentist!

I enjoy having these. I dunk them in coffee or tea or Milo. They are delicious. I am a South African living in the U.S. and I was happy to see that I can order these Rusks online. I grew up enjoying these.

Larabar Uber Caddy

General Mills Larabar Uber Caddy, Apple Turnover, 21.3-OunceI've always liked Larabar because they are made with simple, whole ingredients and they are gluten-free. But they are also loaded with sugar which is not good for a girl who is trying to lose weight!

I searched around for awhile trying to find a good, gluten-free bar that I can keep in my purse with me for snacks and emergencies. I never found one. And when I tried a sample of the Larabar Uber at Whole Foods one day, I was hooked. It was SO good. It literally tastes like banana nut. And it's probably one of the best bars on the market right now in terms of the ingredient list. These are a regular in my house!

I am NOT a health food person, I like my chips & sweets way more than I like my veggies, lol. If you like Pay Day candy bars, these are really, really, really, really similar. Excellent flavor.

Love these bars. The Uber bars are much nuttier and crunchier than the standard 'larabar', which is actually a good thing. Standard larabars feel more like you are eating a paste or candy or something because there are so many dates in it. They do taste good, but Uber bars are better. They taste more like you are eating real food. Roasted Nut variety is good, but Banana Foster is me and my fiancee's favorite. There is an Apple one I believe that is also good.

I only taste the nuts in this scrumptious product. The dates are there, but I couldn't taste them.

I ate it about 2 hours ago and I still feel pretty full. The sugars are relatively low for a bar of this type.

I have a slight allergy to raw walnuts. If there were any in this, they did not affect me.

Dr. Kracker Apple Oat Crunch Culinary Crisps, 6-Ounce Bag

Dr. Kracker Apple Oat Crunch Culinary Crisps, 6-Ounce BagFound at Marshall's and had to give them a try. Pleased with these! They do taste like a bland crispy dry version of apple flavored cookie not too sweet and not over powering flavor but pleasantly satisfying alternative to chips, crackers, cookies! My 15 year old and 4 year old sons both agree they are pretty good and they also are tough critics to please so that says something! :)

Found a bag of these at a discount store near my office and decided to try them as afternoon snacks. They are delightful. Light, very crunchy and not too sweet, with dried apple and seeds on top. Fairly low in calories, and high in fiber, too. They're not easy to find, unfortunately, so I'm glad to be able to get them through Amazon, at least.

A few years ago I bought some graham crackers from Dr. Kracker and they were some of the best grahams I've ever had. Shortly after this I couldn't find them anywhere. I contacted Dr. Kracker about this and a representative from the company said they had discontinued the grahams, but had rolled the recipe into this new product: Apple Oat Crunch. I was so excited to try these, and so let down when I did.

What used to be an extremely delicious graham cracker has turned into a bland piece of cardboard with a hint of apple. He must have meant they threw away the recipe for the grahams and created a new one using paper as the base.

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Even if I had never eaten those original crackers, I have to say these aren't very good.

Quaker Soft Baked Bars, Banana, Nut, Cinnamon Pecan, 35.5 Ounce

Quaker Soft Baked Bars, Banana, Nut, Cinnamon Pecan, 35.5 OunceI have had the banana nut before and loved them. I ordered this one that included the Cinnamon Pecan because it sounded like my favorite coffee cake. It was fantastic! By now you know I love carbs, but these only had about 140 calories per bar.

I would buy again. The only downfall is you are tempted to eat the whole shipment.
