I like them and they're only 11.3 grams of carb per full size caramel snack a jack. For 51 cals each, they feel like a nice sweet cheat without doing too much damage 🙂

Perhaps I will then....I got the flavour wrong they are caramel
 
Each one may only have 11.3 grams of Carb but when you consider that they're only 13g each in total - 87% of it is Carb. Not much in calories but you might find them spiking your BG readings

I've been looking all over for the cinnamon ones Lesley and couldn't find them 🙂

The caramel ones are really nice for an occasional treat and there's 9.4 carbs in one digestive. These take much longer to eat and are nice and I like the texture.

They don't spike me Jonsi but we are all different. Now a pork pie is quite a different proposition :D
 
Now...if you're offering a Pork Pie, what time do you want me there? ...my BGs would hit the ceiling but WTH, I'm anyone's for a good Pork Pie :D:D

Hi Lesley, I do like Snack a jacks which I have in very limited quantities. They made with corn and whole grain rice. However bare in mind that (e.g. 1 Snack a jack S+Vinegar) contains 8.1g of Carbs of which 0.2g are sugar. Tend to limit these as I stay away from carbs regardless of sugar 🙂
