Quote from: bigskygal on March 15, 2022, 07:25:05 PMShottleBop, I have been looking at the Monk Pack Keto bars on Amazon. Some reviews say they are really small. That isn't a problem for me but I wonder do they really taste good??  Some reviews say they are really sweet. I haven't heard of Allulose before, do you have any "dietary" problems with them? I need to add some snack items and don't know what to try.

Having eye surgery 2 times next month and trying to stock up so I don't have to drive...  Thanks!

They taste pretty much like a Kind bar, but are better for my blood sugar. They're about the same size as a Kind bar, too.

Thanks! I will order some to have on hand.

Less sweet:  my local Target was discontinuing the Quest peanut chocolate crunch snack bar, and selling them for half off.  I bought three (5-count) boxes of those this past weekend.  They work for my blood sugar, too.
