Special K has added to their arsenal of products with strawberry and blueberry fruit crisps.

They are shaped like a cereal bar but have a crispy outer shell and fruity filling that is similar to the Pop tarts I loved as a kid.

On the plus side:
- each foil wrapped packet of 2 crisps is 100 calories – an okay calorie count for a snack or for a light dessert
- there’s no high fructose corn syrup in them (I personally think high fructose corn syrup is horribly bad for us)
- they’re an easy-to-eat “on the go” snack
- the filling is tasty and there’s a decent amount of it

On the minus side:
- while the filling tastes good, the crispy outer shell is kind of bland
- they are not filling (less than 1 gram of fiber and only 1 gram of protein in each serving) so I don’t recommend eating them if you’re really hungry.
- there’s not much nutritional value in them (the aforementioned pitiful 1 gram of protein per serving and only 2 percent of the recommended daily allowance of iron)


They come in two flavors: strawberry and blueberry.
While I think the bars aren’t a great nutritional choice, they hit the spot when I’m looking for a little something sweet which would be obvious to you if you saw me right now since I’m writing this review while looking at the empty box.

Will I buy them again? Yeah, probably even though they’re not exactly healthy and nutritious. I love to have a little something sweet at night and it takes me a lot longer to eat these than it does to shovel in 100 calories worth of chocolate.

If you want to try them, print out this coupon first. You’ll save $1 off one package of either the strawberry or blueberry flavor. But don’t procrastinate! The coupon is only good until April 21, 2010.
