Klondike No Sugar Vanilla Bar Review

This is the last Klondike bar review for July 2010.  The folks from Klondike have seen our honest reviews, the good, the bad, the middle of the road reactions, and sent us some coupons for free products so they will be some of our Sacraments for August in time for their final contest of the summer.

This is the vanilla, what I like to think of as the original Klondike flavor, of their "no sugar added" line which used to be called "Slim-A-Bear".  I actually liked that name a lot myself but what did you all think of that label?  Like the Krunch variety, this comes in a silver box and the bars are wrapped in plain white plastic sleeves.  One bar has 170 calories made of 8g saturated fat (still a lot!), 5mg cholesterol, 65mg sodium, 4g fiber (good amount), 7g sugars, 6g sugar alcohols, 4g protein, 4% vitamin A and 15% of the calcium an adult needs daily.  

This tastes more chocolaty than the Krunch variety but if you look on the ingredients list, the only difference is really the rice crisps.  Without their flavor dulling the cocoa, the cocoa is allowed to come out more. However just as before there are very unnecessary added oils and flavors to this products.  Note to Creators: Please don't compromise the chocolate just to cut back on sugar or calories, it really is not necessary if you go with darker variety and higher cocoa content versions.  This tastes very similar to the original variety of Klondike so if you like those but want to have less sugar in your diet, give these a try.

In the next week or two Klondike will be featured as a Sacrament as I use the coupons they sent us to try out some of their non-bar products.
