Product Review: Special K Pastry Crisps Cookies and Creme

While shopping at Walmart this weekend I was looking for items to help satisfy my sweet tooth while still being low in fat and calories and came across these Special K Pastry Crisp in Cookie and Creme flavor. The package showed a half of an Oreo cookie, and being a huge chocolate lover this really appealed to me. Oreo cookies is a huge weakness of mine and if these tasted anywhere similar to an Oreo cookie I was going to be thrilled.

The box of Special K Pastry Crisp were priced at normal price for $2.99 and contain 10 bars inside and 5 pouches, breaking down to about $.30 per bar. Now once you open the package you will see that is two nice sized chocolate bars inside, which to me was a bonus. When I have a snack I like to savor it and having two bars would allow you to feel full and still satisfy your sweet tooth. The bars are a very light and airy crisp like a wafer consistency, on the top it has chocolate frosting drizzled over the top. Inside the chocolate wafers is a marshmallow like frosting that was sweet and creamy, similar to a regular Oreo cookie. As to the filling and wafer ratio I felt that bars has just enough marshmallow frosting inside and had a definite crunch when you would bite into the wafer cookies. To give you a good example of the flavor of these bars if you have ever had Pop Tarts Cookies & Creme, these bars taste very similar just not as sweet.

Pros:

Very convenient for grabbing a snack in a  hurry and still keeping your diet. Also very tasty and can help curb your sweet tooth and chocolate cravings.

Cons:

The frosting on the top of the bars melts very easy and can make for a messy eating experience. The insides of the crisp could use a little bit more frosting in some spots they felt a bit hollow. Also these could be hard to eat just two, so keep track of your calories.
