I had high expectations when I heard of the new Special K Bliss Bars, and I must say those expectations have been met with this new treat. Thanks to Mom Central and Kellogg’s, I received two free boxes of Special K Bliss Bars and a tote bag to thank me for writing my own opinion in this review.
The best way for me to describe this new 90-calorie cereal bar is to call it a “rice krispie treat for grown-ups”. It’s light and crunchy, coated with chocolate on the bottom, and comes in Raspberry or Orange flavors. It’s hard to believe that each Bliss Bar is only 90-calories, but it’s true! You can get the nutritional facts over on the Special K website. I indulged in these as a treat, but not in view of my two toddlers because they are just too good to share!
Now for the giveaway part of this review. I’m giving away this Special K Bliss Bar canvas tote bag with two boxes of Special K Bliss Bars (Chocolatey Dipped Raspberry and Orange). I just couldn’t send you the tote bag and not the bars, so I picked them up at Kroger yesterday to make this a sweeter giveaway. The tote bag is made of a heavy-duty cream canvas material that is really roomy with a front pocket, dark brown base and straps, a velcro closure in the middle, and a clip for your keys on the inside. I’m also giving away a sort of “consolation prize” to 10 of my readers – two coupons to save 55 cents on a box of Special K Bliss Bars (so you can try both flavors). I’ll be drawing the winners using the random number generator – the first name I draw will get the tote bag and two boxes, the next ten names will get the coupons.
This giveaway has ended, and the winners announced in a separate post here.

For christmas, I make treats with melted chocolate. I dip pretzels in chocolate and roll in sprinkles. I melt chocolate and dip spoons in for people to use in their hot drinks, and I melt chocolate and dump craisins in the melted chocolate and then pour it into a cookie sheet. Then break apart for treats. The last one gets the most raves.
I’m not sure if you’ve had these before, but there are these sticks of orange goo of some sort covered in chocolate. Since moving to Michigan a few years ago, I haven’t been able to find them. The Bliss bars look really good. If I don’t win, I’m going to have to buy me a box!
