Carman's: New Muesli Bar Taste Testing (23 July 2010)



Sharing the love

Thanks to Sarah from Carman's Fine Foods for providing 3.63 kg of muesli products to sample including their 'NEW' Yoghurt Apricot & Almond Bar and Dark Choc Cranberry & Almond Bar. With so many to try and had to share the love and do a taste testing session with my work colleagues. The clear favourites of the day seem to be the new bars over the other bars which I personally agree with. The thin yoghurt and chocolate base helped break up the taste of the muesli for me. What I also enjoyed was the texture of the puffed rice inside this two bars which is also noticeable in the Deluxe Fruit Muesli Bar which would be my next preference.

It made me think of an idea for another bar flavour of combining the yoghurt base with predominately puffed rice, apricot and coconut with a bit of macadamia nut and raisins thrown in which I think would be a nice combination of flavours. For the WeightWatchers out there I worked out the new bars would be 2.5 points each.
