| Magick1's Full Review: Little Debbie Nutty Bars 12 Ct |
Lately, as mentioned in my previous review, we have had some treat days at work and for my daughter’s class. We found a really great sale on Little Debbie that we did not pass up. Well, one of the all time favorites of my husband and I are the Nutty Bars.
We picked up a package of these just for us! Albeit these are just terrible for you (see the calories and fat content a little later), they are just awesome for snacking, packing in lunches and enjoying.
The Product
These snack bars are chocolate, wafers with peanut butter! Doesn’t that sound delicious! My daughter even thinks these are terrific. In each individually wrapped package, you get two wafers that are 4 ½ inches long, by 1 inch wide, by just under ¾ inches thick.
Since there are 2 sticks in 1 package, these are terrific snacks to share with others. But, why? This is one of the snacks you want to hoard to yourself (as long as you like peanut butter and don’t have any allergies!).
The Ingredients
Dextrose, peanut butter, enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate [vitamin B1], riboflavin [vitamin B2], folic acid), sugar, partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil with TBHQ to preserve flavor*, interesterified palm and palm kernel oil, water, cocoa, soybean oil, salt, emulsifiers (soy lecithin, mono- and diglycerides), corn starch, baking soda (leavening), citric acid, artificial flavor, whey (milk), egg whites.
*Contributes a trivial amount of trans fat.
Allergy information – contains peanuts, wheat, soy, milk and eggs and is manufactured on equipment that processes products containing peanuts and tree nuts

We don’t purchase these very much anymore due to the fats, sugars and calories these little bars pack. They are terrible for you, but they are so tasty and fun to eat. If you want a snack that gives a wafer cookie crunch, gives you the chocolate and peanut butter, this is one of the best snacks on the market!
Sometimes, unfortunately, you can get a stale box where the cookies (wafers) are stale. Normally, this is not the case. Normally, they are fresh, have a light, almost airy texture and the peanut butter, chocolate combination is just perfect. There is not too much of either.
If you haven’t tried these snack bars, and you enjoy peanut butter, chocolate and wafer cookies, you might pick up a box of these and share them with a friend or family member. It’s a fun snack, easy to eat or pack in a lunchbox and brings a smile to the face of the person that receives a treat like these! Enjoy!
~Thanks for spending time with me today!
