Question 1

Are these a soft bar?

Accepted Answer

This is a chewy bar  not a soft bar.  I do not eat these too often anymore because they contain sucralose ( Splenda ) which does not agree with many people. Some of their bars have Stevia but also have Carrageenan and Palm Kernel Oil in them, not the best choices for me.  I now enjoy NuGo Slim bars and Raw Rev Glo bars, no bad stuff in them.

Question 2

How many carbs in each bar?

Accepted Answer

The information is shown on the label pictures for the bars. Peanut chocolate delight has the statement to count the carbs as 1 net gram (g) carb, and says "based on clinically conducted continuous glucose monitoring only 1 of the 21 total carbs have a short term impact on blood sugar. Fiber 5g maltitol 6 gr glycerin 4 g and uncooked cornstarch 5 g convert slowly and have minimal impact on blood sugar."     But the nutrition facts has 21 g total carbs, dietary fiber 5 g, sugars ZERO g, and maltitol 6 g.  As a diabetic, I have found they do NOT increase my blood sugar significantly but I use 10 grams to count carbs (total 21 - 5 fiber - 6 maltitol = 10 net carbs). I use them to tide my over between 3 pm and dinner time, and have had not glucose spikes with them. They are gluten free and have 11 grams of protein.  The label clearly states these are "for use under medical supervision" and gives the website and customer service number as 1-800-887-2919.  If you are diabetic, I would suggest getting one at the drugstore, and let your doctor see the label. I showed the labels to my doctor and she is thrilled I found these.  They taste better than some of the Atkins crappy bars.

Question 3

Do the chocolate flavors melt in the heat?

Accepted Answer

ALL Extend Bars can soften and become misshapened when exposed to heat. I have received numerous boxes of Extend Bars that have contained damaged contents. Some Amazon sellers package the Extend Bar boxes in flimsy plastic packages that are easily damaged in transport in hot delivery vehicles and by poor handling. Extend Bars should be transported in firm cardboard boxes so that they cannot be crushed or easily damaged by being driven around in a hot vehicle all day. If you live in a warm or hot climate, purchase your Extend Bars at an air conditioned store and not from Amazon or an Amazon retailer.

Question 4

Is the sunflower oil high oleic?  i'm trying to watch my omega-6 consumption.  coconut oil would be far better.

Accepted Answer

I don't have any bars at hand at the moment to check the ingredient list, but if there's no view of the part of the package that gives the nutritional information on the Amazon website screens (check for it; there usually is), you can probably find out by contacting the company directly. You may find their contact info on the amazon screens for the bars. If not, just google the name of the company and you'll find there contact info that way.
