Ratio Soft Baked Bars, Chocolate Brownie, 1g Sugar, Keto Friendly, 5.34 oz (6 Bars)

No one is going to confuse them with "out of the oven" brownies". However, they are excellent for my intended purpose, which is to satisfy my sweet tooth while remaining in ketosis.They work and I enjoy them.

These are a delicious snack to fill my chocolate cravings without giving me too much sugar. They are slightly crumbly, but definitely hold together just fine to eat with no problem - a few crumbles might come off if dipped in milk. I don't find them to be overly dry, but wouldn't say they are moist. I don't feel like I have to have to follow them with something to drink but do like pairing them with a little hemp milk. I like the added texture and taste of the almonds and pecans. Some reviews mentioned a bit of an after taste, but I don't notice that at all - maybe I'm just used to the stevia flavored food. I have these on a monthly subscription and have never been disappointed - they are always fresh tasting. On subscription, they are just over a dollar per bar, which is a little high for the portion size, but competitive with other keto options.Moisture: 3.5/5Taste: 4/5Texture: 4/5Size: 4/5

Delicious! Filling, and helps me meet my protein needs while keeping my carb intake low. They are soft and not too dry, nor are they hard - just a little dryer than a normal homemade brownie. They smell delicious as well. I save them for when I’m feeling ravenous, and they hit the spot every time! I’ve bought them three times this month. These and the other brownie flavor have not let me down!

I've been buying these for a few years now, and until recently, they've been quite good. As advertised, soft baked bars, moist and flavorful. My last two orders however have not been. Out of a box of six bars, one *might* be softish, but 2-3 are dry, crumbly and flavorless. The remaining bars are hard as baked bricks with an overpowering/off-putting amount of cinnamon. This last bit is important and quite telling as cinnamon is not a listed ingredient. I've experienced this sort of reduced product quality from other items I previously enjoyed and stopped buying. The pattern seems to be that a once good product supplier either changes to lower cost ingredients or outsources production to a less capable vendor who either changes the recipe or substitutes lower quality ingredients to increase profits. I cannot say for sure this is the case with Ratio and this product, but the quality has diminished. Hopefully this is temporary, and they will improve on quality control.

**Review: Keto-Friendly Brownie Bars – A Culinary Catastrophe**Ah, the keto-friendly brownie bar—a sweet promise of indulgence wrapped in a low-carb cloak. One might imagine a delightful treat, a decadent morsel that whispers sweet nothings of chocolate and joy. Instead, what I encountered was a tragic tale of culinary betrayal, an abomination that made me wonder what cruel joke had been played on my taste buds.First, let’s talk about consistency. These brownie bars have the uncanny texture of packing peanuts—light, airy, and utterly devoid of any satisfying chew. One bite and I found myself questioning whether I was indulging in a sweet treat or preparing to stuff a fragile package for shipment. It’s as if the creators of these bars decided that a dense, fudgy brownie was simply too much pleasure for the human palate to handle. So they opted for a texture that suggests they were molded from recycled gym mats instead.Now, onto the flavor. Imagine, if you will, a normal brownie—the kind that makes your heart sing and your taste buds dance. Now strip it of all hope, joy, and any semblance of sweetness. What remains is a sad, hollow shell of a brownie that has been thoroughly dejected by life. It tastes like a chocolate-flavored regret, a dessert that’s given up on any pretense of happiness. If brownies had souls, this one would be a tragic figure, sitting alone in the corner of a dark room, mourning its lost potential.And the sweetness? Let’s not even go there. These bars are sweetened with some sort of elusive keto-friendly sweetener that leaves an aftertaste reminiscent of licking a wooden spoon that just whisked together disappointment and despair. Sugar free should not be equivalent to descending into one of the seven circles of hell.As I chewed (if you can call it that) my way through this sad excuse for a dessert, I couldn’t help but wonder who thought this was a good idea. Was it a rogue dietitian seeking revenge on the dessert-loving masses? A culinary artist who had lost their way? Or perhaps a mad scientist experimenting with the limits of human endurance? Whatever the case, they’ve succeeded in crafting a bar that not only fails to satisfy but actively works against the very notion of enjoyment.In conclusion, if you’re looking for a brownie bar that embodies the joy of chocolate and the satisfaction of a good dessert, look elsewhere. These keto-friendly atrocities are a culinary crime against humanity. Save your taste buds the agony; they deserve better. And remember, sometimes it's worth indulging in the real thing—because life is too short for packing peanut brownies.

Very good snack cake. They stopped selling them at Fred Meyer for some reason.
