If the fiber ALL cames from the peanuts, then we're fine. If it's been added to fool us, then it's one of those too good to be true scenarios.

Huh??? If inulin (a fiber) is an ingredient in teh candy bar...it IS part of the total carb count for that particular food... and can be subtracted just as if it had been "inherent to the food"... If they added 9 MORE grams, it would raise the total carb count by 9, but could still be subtracted..... |
