Snack Review: Special K Chocolate Dipped Raspberry Bliss Cereal Bars

I initially purchased the Special K Bliss raspberry cereal bars because of a recommendation from a friend who fell in love with them. She claimed that she could go through an entire box without hesitation and actually said that she could not wait to get home so she could eat one. After a claim like that, I figured I would give them a shot.

I purchased the box of five bars and noticed they were 90 calories per bar. The rest of the nutrition info was not bad either. In each bar, there are 2 grams of fat, 20 calories from fat and 17 grams of carbs. Unfortunately, there is only 1 gram of protein.

After taking the bar out, I noticed how small they are. Each Special K Bliss raspberry cereal bar is only approximately 3.5 inches in length. For 90 calories, I should not expect a typical sized cereal bar, but I figured it would be a bit bigger. I was interested to see if the size mattered.

The Special K Bliss raspberry cereal bars smell and look appetizing. The bar has a chewy consistency; it is not too hard or too soft. The bar had a sweet taste, but not overwhelmingly so. I could taste the raspberry flavor, which mixed nicely with the thin layer of chocolate on the bottom. When I get chocolate or sweet cravings, one of these bars will satisfy quite well.

The seemingly small size of the Special K Bliss raspberry cereal bars was more than enough for me. It fit in my purse and I was able to eat it on the run for a much-needed snack. The bar was just enough to leave me happy and stopped the hunger pangs. If you are a sweets person, I am sure you can imagine how hard it is to pass up a chocolate chip cookie when you have a chocolate craving. I could definitely see myself passing up a cookie or some other high fat treat to grab one of these.

I paid $2.79 at a grocery store for the Special K Bliss raspberry cereal bars. They are a lot cheaper than some other cereal bars I have had where the taste was not nearly as good. I fully believe they are worth the purchase and can help you stay away from other less satisfying treats.
