Just the Cheese Bars, Low Carb Snack - Baked Keto Snack, High Protein, Gluten Free, Low Carb Cheese Crisps - Jalapeno, 0.8 Ounces (Pack of 12)

Okay, last month I got on the scale and realized I was pushing 260 pounds. Not bad if you are a linebacker, I guess, but I'm five foot one...in heels. I'm also 61, female, and an emotional binge-eater. None of these are pluses in weight loss. My sons are doing keto and having great success, so I figured I'd go that route. Problem is, I have a job as a freelance editor (working from home) and there might as well be a written requirement for grazing while whipping a manuscript into shape. Other problem...I binge when I'm stressed or emotional. Not like we have anything to be stressed or emotional about these days, eh?So figuring that I'm going to eat a certain amount of junk food no matter what, I look for keto/Atkins-type stuff. Atkins for the candy/cookie type junk (I've already left reviews on a couple of those products), and SOMETHING ELSE for the salty stuff. I settle on this. Why? I stumbled across it while doing a search on "keto snacks." I love cheese; I'm pretty much a cheese-a-holic. So I figure anything with cheese as the only ingredient is worth a try.Okay, what I get is a box a little taller than a big can of Planters mixed nuts, and almost as thick. I'm thinking the box is a little smallish. Then I pull out a package. This is a ten-pack, meaning ten packages with two bars in each package. One package = one serving. The packages are about the length of an iPhone XR or 12, but narrower, maybe an inch and a half wide. They weigh next to nothing--each packet is less than one ounce. All these do not make me smile.Opening the package, I see something like a small, rectangular, hardened rice cake. Two of them.Then I bite into one. The crunch is loud enough to register on a Geiger counter, I'm pretty sure. These suckers are LOUD.It's hard to describe the flavor of the thing. It's definitely cheesy, but not like the mild American cheese most people eat. I'm into the bolder flavors, like Tillamook. "Just the Cheese" is aggressively, militantly, radically cheesy. I mean, it's like you're tasting it even before you eat it, and still tasting it after you eat it. The flavor is really strong. And it's cheese. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. It's just so strong that the first bite can throw you off. The second bite is easier.It's FILLING. You won't want more than one packet of these at a time. This is good. Less than one carb--this is better. High fat (12 grams) and 8 grams of protein. So I'm hooked.I looked at a lot of reviews for this product and it looks like a lot of people hate it. Maybe they don't have the same relationship with cheese that I do. To each his own.To address the last concern, yes, it's pricey. It comes out to between $1.90-2.00 per package. But I figure anything low carb (you can't get much lower than <1), that fills you up on 150 calories, and that tastes like this is a win-win situation. You get ten servings, which will fill you up enough that you're guaranteed not to binge, so you won't eat more than a pack a day. The good thing is that except for the days I fast, I have a snack like this one and that's all I need between meals. I'm not hungry. Heck, I could almost use this as a meal substitute. And I've dropped nine pounds in three weeks. I'm happy.

We were excited to get this product as we saw it on SHARK TANK. I am also from Wisconsin and likely went to that cheese factory (or one like it) on multiple field trips with school growing up. I LOVE cheese, and cheddar is my favorite. I love the crunchy cheese that burns on the pan outside of a grilled cheese. This is the way it was described on Shark Tank, that it would be. My son who is also a cheese lover, was very excited. We received the package in 1-2 days, and excitedly opened and tasted the product. It is extremely strong flavored, but not a good cheese flavor, and extremely salty. It is crunchy, but there is absolutely NO moisture to the product, it breaks into a weird gritty/powdery feeling in your mouth and is very hard to swallow. It is what I would imagine eating dehydrated astronaut food w/o adding the water back and preparing it. It's like eating crunchy cheese powder that is soooooo salty it should be a seasoning, not a main food item. My family makes fun of me b/c I am a "salt-a-holic" , but this was even too salty for me. I am sorry Wisconsin, and I feel like I am betraying you, but we couldn't even finish one bar between the 3 of us (my husband tried too), and had to dispose of it. I went to try and return them, but unfortunately it says this product is "ineligible to return". It is misleading, b/c the add says "100% guarantee". I wonder what they are guaranteeing?????? Not good.

I purchased these to go into a box I leave out for the delivery guys - these were one of the first things to be chosen. They are pretty much like all the other 'all cheese' crackers out then in lots of different shapes. These are rectangles. They list different 'flavors' - but to me, they are all pretty close to the same. I try to change up the boxes over time, but I would buy these again because they are individually wrapped and easy to put out. They don't melt and are tasty. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. As a top 30 reviewer, I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - over 6,200 reviews posted, those reviews have been viewed well over 50,000 times, including well over 28,000 likes. BOTTOM LINE: I pay for all my stuff, just like you do - with hard earned dollars.

It is like a cheese granola bar very hard. I took them to work as a snack but most.ended up in the trash....they were just ok.
