Most of these low-carb bars are high in "hidden-carbs" because they have to last a long time at room temerature to reach consumers and store in warehouses etc. So they are full of glycerine and maltitol, among other chemicals to preserve them.

The best alternative is home-made bars. These don't have to store for more than a few days in your fridge.

There are a couple of recipes for those in our recipe pages and forums.

I'm actually playing with a new recipe for low-carb crunchy bars Looks good so far, and I'll post the recipe when I nail down the perfect recipe for it.

When you make them yourselfe, you know exactly how many carbs are in them, and there's no room for surprises.
