Atkins Bars: Dark Chocolate Almond Coconut Crunch Bar Review

Atkins recently released a new line of flavors in their Advantage bars and shakes that are rolling out in stores now. I spotted one of the new flavors in my store the other day and thought I would give it a try. Dark Chocolate Almond Coconut Crunch Bar, one of the longest names for any Atkins bar ever, was the choice I went with. It's wordy, but its pretty accurate in what it includes. This is about as close to a low carb version of Almond Joy as you are ever gonna get. That being said if you aren't a fan of coconut, you will not like these. It's a lot of coconut. A lot. I think if I was marketing these bars I may have changed the word "crunch" in the title to "chewy". There is so much coconut that the bar has a soft chewiness about it. Any crunch comes from the almonds sprinkled through out. The bottom of the bar is dark chocolate and sets off a nice contrast to the coconut which is good.

I liked it. I am a fan of coconut on occasion, and it is certainly a different type of bar from many of the other Atkins bars you usually see in stores. It offered me some variety, and it's chewiness allowed for me to slowly saver the bar over a longer time. I'll definitely be revisiting these in the future.

P.s people, Coconut is good for your prostate, so you can double stuff these things.

I like the taste of this bar very much, however, I have to put it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it up! If not, I feel like it will pull out my teeth!

I agree, these bars are incredibly chewy. They give your jaw a workout.
