Default Z-bars (was Can anyone recommand a good tasting cereal?

Got some Z-bars from LowCarbOutlet.com. Just tried the Chocolate with
peanut butter. I have to agree- it's the best low-carb candy I've
tried (although I have not tried the Lindt.) Maltitol and lactitol
put me through some terrible GI perturbations.

Oddly enough I just tried one of those myself tonight for the first time. I
thought it was fabulous! I did not experience any of the creepy taste
sensation I get with those candies sweetened with malitol, and I thought the
chocolate taste was very intense and satisfying. Best commercial SF bar I
have ever tried. Not an every day event, but it was a great experience. And
no cravings at all afterwards.

BTW, today I was away from home and I finally found the Z-carb bars you'd
been asking me about.

I tested the Dark Chocolate Macadamia nut. The flavor had that cooling
taste that is typical of sugar alcohols. I thought the chocolate taste was
pretty weak compared to Lindt 70%. The calories are very high-181 for a
small bar. I ate a segment 1/3 the size of the whole bar--about the size

of
the portion I eat of the Lindt bars, and did not get the same feeling of
satisfaction I get from the Lindt, instead, I found myself quickly craving
more.
