Many Americans have gotten so used to decadent treats, that it's hard to give them up. Unfortunately, many Americans are also overweight. I happen to be one of those Americans and I've decided to start eating healthier. But, I know that it's impossible to give up all my sweet treats and still stick to my diet. This led me to look for treats that were lower in calories. One treat I found was Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars. These appeared to be a healthy choice, but looks can be deceiving.

Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars Review: Taste

First of all, Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars taste amazing. They are very close to the regular version. This alone should alert you to the fact that these might not be as healthy as the package makes them seem. But, you will enjoy the creamy vanilla ice cream and the snap of the chocolate coating.

Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars Review: Varieties

Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars come in Vanilla and Krunch flavors. The only difference between the two is that the Krunch variety has crisp rice added to the chocolate, plus more fat. Klondike also makes Slim-a-Bear 100 Calorie Bars and 100 Calorie Sandwiches in vanilla and chocolate flavors.

Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars Review: Nutritional Value

Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars are may sound healthy, but just how healthy are they? A 4 ounce treat has 170 calories, 90 fat calories, 9 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans-fat, 5mg of cholesterol, 65mg of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, 4 grams of protein, 4% of your daily vitamin A, 15% of your daily calcium, and 3 Weight Watchers Points.

Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars Review: Price

A 6 pack of Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars will cost around $3. To me, this isn't a bad price, but you can find other frozen treats that are healthier and less expensive.

Klondike's Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Bars Review: Satisfaction Rating

Takeaways

I am glad you finished by recapping the facts about the nutritional deficits of this product. Honest product reviews are always appreciated!

These always look very tempting. My youngest is a bear fanatic so I am conditioned to notice anything in a package with a bear on it.

Hey Amy---try Smart Ones (Weight Watchers) Mocha Fudge Sundae--or one of their other ones. This one has 160 calories, 2g saturated fat, 15 grams sugar and actually has protein and some fiber. They are delicious!! I feel like I am cheating when I eat them.

Thanks for the honest review. You're right that looks can be deceiving and that some snacks are not at all healthy. Sophie
