Food Review-Turtle Bar Treats

This will be a quick post today, but wanted to share with you one of my favorite post-workout treats.

They are called Chex Turtle Bars. Do not underestimate their awesomeness. They taste like a caramel chewy candy bar. And with only 130 calories and 25 grams of carbs they fit perfectly into my post-workout guidlines. YAY ME!

Name of item: Chex Turtle Bars

Description: Six-130 calorie caramel covered chex pieces with pretzels and coated chocolate pieces. 

Pros: They do not skimp on the caramel!

Cons: Wish I could have the entire box

Price: $2.00-$3.00

Go out today and get some!! You will not regret it.
