Hi, all. You've probably already heard this before, but I appreciate your advice on this.

What is your opinion of Balance chocolate bars (e.g., chocolate truffle, chocolate almond, peanut butter, chocolate crisp, etc.)? I'm not talking about their relatively high carb (21-23g) granola-like bars, but their small chocolate bars.

They're sweetened with maltitol, which I read that Atkins is saying is legal, despite the FDA's ruling that it has to be counted as a carb.

Total carb is 15g, fiber is 0.7, maltitol is 14g, for a net effective carb count of 0.3.

They taste really good to me (but definitely have a laxative effect!).

Is there such thing as a free lunch? If so, these chocolate bars seem to come pretty close.

Thanks for your input.
