Pros: Nice flavor, but I’m not sure it’s not what I would consider caramel. It kind of tastes Fig Newton-y. Soft, slightly chewy texture. Smells like brown sugar. Low fat. A decent tasting way to get five grams of fiber. I guess it’s easier than eating an apple. I mean, I can stuff a whole bar in my mouth, but I can’t stuff a whole apple.
Cons: Sometimes there are these bursts of saltiness, which are a bit off-putting. “Caramel bits” are really toffee bits. The bars look kind of small when unwrapped, they’re just 2-inch squares. Some people have had gas issues with the chicory root extract, which gives the bar its fiber, so don’t go through the box in one day…or even two days.

I picked these up last weekend, and I really liked them. They are my favorites of the Fiber One bars. (Second fave is the Cinnamon Coffee Cake.) No, they don’t really have a lot of caramel flavor, but they are moister than all of the other Fiber One bars, and I thought the little bits of “salted caramel” in the bar was good, if not really authentic. I wish these weren’t limited. I’ll have to pick up a few boxes before they disappear.
