Grenade High Protein, Low Sugar Bar - Caramel Chaos, 12 x 60 g

Product Information

Once again Grenade have delivered another great bar and, to be honest, that’s all there is to say. Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel – 10/10 I was worried the chocolate coating would overpower and detract from the whole ‘PB&J’ feel, but it really doesn’t – the flavours actually blend really well. It’s a complete contrast to the likes of Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel or Dark Chocolate Raspberry, but it’s a bit of FUN. Fudged Up – 7/10 It makes a nice change and it’s certainly better than the Chocolate Crunch the brand brought out a couple of years ago, but I’d go for the Fudge Brownie bar over this any day. Peanut Butter and Jelly – 9/10

Milk Protein (Calcium Caseinate, Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Milk Chocolate With (Sweetener; Maltitol, Cocoa Butter, Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Mass, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Flavours) 18.3% Gelatine Hydrolysate, Bulking Agent (Polydextrose), Humectant (Glycerol), Soy Crisps (Soy Protein, Tapioca Strarch, Salt) Soy Crisp (Soy Protein, Fat Reduced Cocoa, Tapioca Starch) Cocoa Butter, Soy Oil, Skimmed Milk Powder, Palm Fat, Sweeteners (Xylitol, Sucralose), Flavours, Fat Reduced Cocao, Salt, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)Before we start, I will say it smells amazing – very strong strawberry and buttery (honestly) white chocolate. Although they used to be called ‘Carb Killa’, this is not because they are low or ‘no carb’. It is because the carbs that are in it, are not just loads of refined sugars, which for something that tastes good, is rare. All of Grenade’s flavours give regular chocolate bars a run for their money, but the Oreo bar takes it to the next level.

The crushed peanuts add an authentic peanut flavour and add a light crunch which does well not to disrupt the overall creaminess of the bar.

WHY CARB KILLA?

Recently, Grenade have been nailing their flavours. White Chocolate Salted Peanut, Dark Chocolate Raspberry, and Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel have all been up there with the best of them, but I’ll admit I was skeptical about this one. The question is, which pin to pull? There are 12 flavours (at the time of writing) and we have 11 of them here for you today… It’s a protein bar, but I can’t think of an actual chocolate bar that tastes as good as this. Chocolate Crunch – 4/10 The orange flavour is just right with this one – it’s not artificial or bitter, and it doesn’t overpower the chocolate flavour. I would have liked something a little more different from the standard Carb Killa range than simply the addition of orange flavour – surely if you’re going to call something ‘Jaffa’ you need a jelly layer…
