Hi there Emily,

First of all, if you are still in Induction, I wouldn't use them. Peanut flour is definitely not allowed during Induction for a start. In fact peanuts can often be a problem, as they are technically not nuts at all - they are legumes, and can cause cravings.

The main potential problem is the glycerine and maltitol. Glycerine and maltitol are sugar alcohols, and these substances can often cause folk to stall. If you put the calories etc in your bar through our "Hidden Carbs Inspector" (to the right side of the screen), you'll find that if you count the sugar alcohols as carbs, the carb count of your bar will be substantially more than 5.

If you go to "Low Carb Tips" on the orange bar at the top of the screen, you'll find more info about the sugar alcohols - along with a lot of other helpful info too.

All the best to you, Emily.
