Default Carbolite Bars

Hi Everyone im new to the forums, Not sure if this is already known But Carbolite bars are available in Superdrug in the uk. My wife brought back a bar it was the almond one, I thought it was quite nice im not much of a choccy person but occasionally get the urge.Warning though very pricey £1.00 for a very small bar but very popular hardly any left.

Hi Mr Thunder and welcome to this forum.

You are doing great, by the look of it.

Thanks for the info on the carbolite bars, I don't think anyone has spotted them there yet. So what with bars in Benjy's there is more for those with a sweet tooth.

As a new girl I`m interested in these bars. Are they low in carbs and cals? And what are Benjy`s bars?

Just a quick confirmation that I got these in Superdrug in Braehead in Glasgow - 3 flavour selections, 99p each and they seemed to have a few cases of them out.

Not tried them yet, but hopefully this is a sign of things to come!

Thanks Mr Thunder!

I bought mine in Benjy's. I was NOT impressed with them really, they tasted like 'fake' chocolate and the biggest sweetener is maltitol even though they advertise Splenda on the front. I'd rather eat the Thorntons ones in moderation.

the sweet and low chocolate from holland and barretts is better,they don,t have the side effects of the carbolite bars and they,re cheaper.

I'm with you Pepsi. They promote them as 'Sweetened with Splenda!' but Splenda is way down the list of ingredients and maltitol is first. I was very disappointed with them. Thorntons is so much better tasting and you get a bigger bar for your quid. Plus that Sweet n Low stuff cooks well too.
