Ratio Soft Baked Bars, Chocolate Brownie, 1g Sugar, Keto Friendly, 5.34 oz (6 Bars)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love the taste. Not a whole lot of sugar added.

Love this! Satisfies the sweet craving. Great flavor, great texture. One of my favorites so far

- Made by the same company as the Fiber One brand dessert bars, but with slightly more natural/whole-food ingredients. However, those concerned about GMO should be aware that both products are made by the same company and both contain bioengineered ingredients.- Smaller than the Fiber One bars- The bars are soft and moist, not super sweet (which I prefer), and no strong chemical sweetener taste, but are a little bitter in general. It's not the worst but it makes them taste a little stale. After eating a few more, I think it's just the overwhelming stevia taste. Way too much stevia.- Not my favorite thing but I'd eat them if I was hungry. Won't repurchase though. Pretty expensive for the size too, but still less expensive than many alternatives, to be fair.

I've been buying these for a few years now, and until recently, they've been quite good. As advertised, soft baked bars, moist and flavorful. My last two orders however have not been. Out of a box of six bars, one *might* be softish, but 2-3 are dry, crumbly and flavorless. The remaining bars are hard as baked bricks with an overpowering/off-putting amount of cinnamon. This last bit is important and quite telling as cinnamon is not a listed ingredient. I've experienced this sort of reduced product quality from other items I previously enjoyed and stopped buying. The pattern seems to be that a once good product supplier either changes to lower cost ingredients or outsources production to a less capable vendor who either changes the recipe or substitutes lower quality ingredients to increase profits. I cannot say for sure this is the case with Ratio and this product, but the quality has diminished. Hopefully this is temporary, and they will improve on quality control.

**Review: Keto-Friendly Brownie Bars – A Culinary Catastrophe**Ah, the keto-friendly brownie bar—a sweet promise of indulgence wrapped in a low-carb cloak. One might imagine a delightful treat, a decadent morsel that whispers sweet nothings of chocolate and joy. Instead, what I encountered was a tragic tale of culinary betrayal, an abomination that made me wonder what cruel joke had been played on my taste buds.First, let’s talk about consistency. These brownie bars have the uncanny texture of packing peanuts—light, airy, and utterly devoid of any satisfying chew. One bite and I found myself questioning whether I was indulging in a sweet treat or preparing to stuff a fragile package for shipment. It’s as if the creators of these bars decided that a dense, fudgy brownie was simply too much pleasure for the human palate to handle. So they opted for a texture that suggests they were molded from recycled gym mats instead.Now, onto the flavor. Imagine, if you will, a normal brownie—the kind that makes your heart sing and your taste buds dance. Now strip it of all hope, joy, and any semblance of sweetness. What remains is a sad, hollow shell of a brownie that has been thoroughly dejected by life. It tastes like a chocolate-flavored regret, a dessert that’s given up on any pretense of happiness. If brownies had souls, this one would be a tragic figure, sitting alone in the corner of a dark room, mourning its lost potential.And the sweetness? Let’s not even go there. These bars are sweetened with some sort of elusive keto-friendly sweetener that leaves an aftertaste reminiscent of licking a wooden spoon that just whisked together disappointment and despair. Sugar free should not be equivalent to descending into one of the seven circles of hell.As I chewed (if you can call it that) my way through this sad excuse for a dessert, I couldn’t help but wonder who thought this was a good idea. Was it a rogue dietitian seeking revenge on the dessert-loving masses? A culinary artist who had lost their way? Or perhaps a mad scientist experimenting with the limits of human endurance? Whatever the case, they’ve succeeded in crafting a bar that not only fails to satisfy but actively works against the very notion of enjoyment.In conclusion, if you’re looking for a brownie bar that embodies the joy of chocolate and the satisfaction of a good dessert, look elsewhere. These keto-friendly atrocities are a culinary crime against humanity. Save your taste buds the agony; they deserve better. And remember, sometimes it's worth indulging in the real thing—because life is too short for packing peanut brownies.

Yummy and it doesn't make me feel guilty or fat❣

I tried one of these Keto friendly brownie bars today as a snack . The texture is dry, the brownie is crumbly and not moist at all. Doesn’t taste like a brownie. At only 100 cals, I hope you are having this bar close to a meal or a shake or something, otherwise you might get kinda hungry. Pairing it with a piece of fruit might be okay. You could probably crumble the brownie onto some greek yogurt or as a topping for ice cream. The aftertaste of them was artificially sweetened and not really enjoyable. Won’t be buying these again. But it was worth a try.Update: I revise my previous review to say that I quite like these brownies now! The taste grew on me and it is probably better for you than loads of the actual granulated sugar you might find in other snacks. One or two of these a day between meals can help you mitigate hunger cravings. I have since gone ahead and subscribed to these Ratio Keto Friendly soft-baked brownies.

Good
