Phillip

Ye of little faith eh Phillip :) I will endeavour to find one.

David

The double chocolate was indeed terrible. Stay away!

Rachel

I will try a few more options in the coming weeks but yeh you could be right :D

Anon #1

Not great huh :D

Alex

No they really did look exactly the same. Boring huh!?

Claudia

Seemingly things are looking more and more that way. Oh well who knows I might stumble across somehting worthwhile soon.

Hanna

Thanks for the suggestion, I was kinda running out of ideas haha! I will give these a try if I can pick some up this weekend.

Paul

As I said above it was sorta looking that way. These Atkins bars could be better .. lets see.

Emma

I should have bought the mint one but I think I have had enough of Boots for the mean time! Maybe next year :D

Phil

Nothing beats a good bit of marketing spiel eh!? I do remember those 100 calorie bars... it is a shame they don't do them anymore for dieters! They should bring them out for a limited period each January!

Rachel

You could well be right but I doubt even the most starved chocoholic would like the Double Chocolate Bar.

Justin

Too much info man! I see what you are getting at mind.

Nick

Ok now we definitely have too much info haha :D

Matt

You would be surprised! There is obviously some demand for it. If their wasn't products like this wouldn't exist.

Alan

Indeed the Cadbury Highlights was ok 7.7 out of 10 if I remember correctly.

If anyone is having difficulty finding it please use the search bar on the top right of your page ... or just click here ...

Thanks everyone - Hopefully I will find a decent diet bar for you soon.

Lol well, it perhaps wasn't the highest scoring but certainly the most easily available at the time :)

2010-01-21T19:01:39.531Z

Lol I was gonna say, the Dairy Milk Highlights bar was probably the best bet, even though I wasn't so keen on the sweetener aftertaste that came with it but at least you felt like you were eating a proper bar of chocolate lol. Jim reviewed it last year I think it was, by far the highest scoring diet bar I think! :)

This is a fruitless thing you're trying to do mate. No one wants reduced fat chocolate.

2010-01-21T16:42:45.135Z

lol at Justin. I gave up chocolate for Lent once and it is true that my first bite in to a Mars bar afterwards was verging on orgasmic.

2010-01-21T15:28:07.012Z

I think Rachel could be right. Imagine if you starved yourself of chocolate for a full month and then had one of these? On the other hand imagine if you did the same and then ate something like a Snickers lol you would probably think it was better than sex.

2010-01-21T12:33:33.721Z

I think these probably taste better when you are dieting and haven't eaten real chocolate for several days/weeks!

2010-01-21T10:54:10.841Z

You have to laugh when it says things like 'chocolate heaven times two' yet tastes so awful. I'm guessing nougat has few calories, hence why it's so tasteless. Remember those 100 calorie dairy milk bars they did some years ago? (2005 I think) Although they were thin at least they'd provide more satisfaction than these!

You should have gone for the mint nougat like I gu...

2010-01-21T10:36:10.139Z

You should have gone for the mint nougat like I guggested Jim. These two are both far worse than that bar. I also thought they were flavourless.

This diet mission is destined for failure jim ol boy. You must fast be running out of things to review.

2010-01-21T09:09:58.554Z

Hahaa, I think the overwhelming conclusion is going to be diet + chocolate bar = oxymoron :D

However I do encourage you to try the chocolate Atkins Advantage bars (you can also buy them in Boots) - my friend was on the diet once and I tried one, actually pretty amazing!

Here's to everyone getting over their new years' resolutions and back to REAL chocolate :p

2010-01-21T08:19:56.102Z

These chocolate bars looks really boring. They look identical in the pictures. You sire you didn't take pictures of one twice lol.

Woah only four/10 talk about bombing out.

2010-01-21T07:56:19.880Z

I think Phillip may well be right Jim it doesn't look like you will ever review a decent chocolate made for dieters. It could well be worth abandoning that mission. Nice review anyway.

lol this is getting quite funny now. You are never going to find a good 'diet' one Jim.
