There were quite different reviews from the two women who tested Chex Mix Bars in turtle and chocolate chunk flavor.

WHAT IS IT? Chex Mix Bars (turtle and/or chocolate chunk)

WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO: A delicious, 150-calorie (or less) snack bar with 8 grams of whole grain. Delicious, but not fattening.

HOW MUCH IT COSTS: $3.19 for a box containing 6 bars

Leslie Siever

DID IT WORK? Yes.

WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT IT? "Ooey, gooey"; dieter's delight; chocolate, pretzels, etc. need I say more?

WHAT DID YOU DISLIKE ABOUT IT? Nothing.

IS IT WORTH THE MONEY? Yes.

WOULD YOU BUY IT? Yes.

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT? Yes.

Cea Cohen Elliott

DID IT WORK? Oh my gosh! 8 grams whole grain compared to all of the artificial sugars/fillers? Horrible!

WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT IT? Nothing. Way too sweet

WHAT DID YOU DISLIKE ABOUT IT? Everything! I couldn't give the samples away. People took one bite and made a face.

IS IT WORTH THE MONEY? It wasn't worth free.

WOULD YOU BUY IT? Never! Shame on the company for pretending to be good because of 150 calories.

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT? Not unless you wanted to spike your blood sugar level.
