Chex - Chex Mix Bars - Chocolate Chunk — 

Do you like Chex Mix?  Do you not like Chex Mix?  Either way, you'll probably like Chex Mix Chocolate Chunk bars.

Chex Mix Chocolate Chunk bars contain wheat Chex, corn Chex, pretzels, and chocolate chunks, but 99% of what you taste is chocolate.  The bars are somewhat crispy, as you would expect with the Chex and the pretzels, but the bars are more chewy than they are anything else.  This is because, as far as I can tell from the ingredients, they are held together by corn syrup.

Chex Mix Chocolate Chunk bars are relatively low in calories and are a "good source of whole grain", according to the box.  Nutritional facts (per bar) are as follows:

140 calories (30 from fat), 3 grams of fat (no saturated or trans fat), no cholesterol, 135mg of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 13 grams of sugar,  2 grams of protein, and 2% of the daily allowance of iron.

There are six bars per box.  I found that they were comparably priced to similar products.

I really like Chex Mix Chocolate Chunk bars.  They have a great chocolaty taste, and 140 calories is not bad for a snack.  I recommend that you try them.

Tip - Try Chex Mix Chocolate Chunk bars while having a cup of coffee.  They taste great that way.

Yep, all that and ample chocolate flavor.

I'm drooling. This sounds good and has reasonable dietary creds for those of us trying to lose pounds. Neat review!

I want to try these. They are low in fat and seem to be different from the usual bars I eat. Thanks for the review.
