Maybe there's a shortage on caramel these days. Maybe with the rise of gas prices, delivering caramel from one side of the country to the other has become more difficult. Maybe there's pirates out on the open highway and they are spending all their time highjacking caramel trucks! I'm just trying to figure out why in the world an Atkin's bar which advertises itself as being caramel filled has so little caramel in it. Maybe my expectations are too high for a low-carb Atkin's bar, but I just feel like if you're going to put caramel on the title I should be able to taste the caramel.
The double chocolate crunch part of the bar seems to live up to it's name, but the caramel is a little low. Again, it doesn't taste bad it just doesn't seem to live up to its name fully. In a perfect world, we would see a nice layer of caramel in this bar and it would have more of a creamy caramel consistency closer to that of maybe a Snickers bar. Of course if this was a perfect world you wouldn't need to watch your carb intake, you would be reading a blog on cinnamon rolls, and you'd just be eating a Snickers bar while doing it. Unfortunately that's not the case, so we have to live with what we got.
It's a good bar, it's a fine double chocolate taste and crunchy. Very chocolate-y. But somewhere out there, there is a pirate eating my caramel.
