What would I do for a Klondike Slim-a-Bear No Sugar Added Krunch Bar? Write a frozen food blog, that's what.Remember those goofy Klondike commercials back in the day? No? Well here's one with a meeting of the minds between Shakespeare and Gary Coleman.
That's another example why TiVo was invented.
It's been awhile since I've tried a Klondike... although these ice cream bars come in white plastic wrappers instead of the classic aluminum packaging with the polar bear logo. So maybe these aren't Klondikes to purists. Whatever. They're still good.
This is a reduced-fat product so right away I can tell it isn't as lavish (i.e. creamy) as a regular Klondike. Still, the vanilla ice cream tastes nice and smooth -- just not as rich compared to other more decadent frozen desserts. Coating the ice cream is a delicious chocolate shell. It's littered with crispy rice pieces that offer additional Krunch. For some reason there's a toffee flavor in each bite too. It's good albeit unexpected. The exterior is very fragile, so eat slowly or risk a thousand chocolate stalactites crashing down onto your clothes.
Don't be fooled by the packaging. Despite all the healthy slogans (Slim-a-Bear, 35% less fat, 25% less calories, no sugar added) this product is one Bad Mamma Jamma for your health. Don't believe me? Check the grisly nutrition facts for yourself. Each Krunch Bar comes packed with 170 calories and 10 grams of fat (80% of which is saturated, woohoo). And I guess Klondike means no additional sugar added because there's also 7 grams of the sweet stuff. That's in addition to 7 grams of sugar alcohol (phenylketonurics). There's a lot of not so good things in these Krunch Bars, which is Kosher and worth 3 Weight Watcher Points.
Unlike Klondike Slim-a-Bear 100 Calorie Vanilla & Chocolate Sandwiches don't consider No Sugar Added Krunch Bars to be a healthier option for dessert. But unlike the Vanilla & Chocolate Sandwiches these actually taste like dessert.
