You’ll love these mixes… Amazingly simple to prepare, these treats are ready to enjoy in minutes. Sweetened with Splenda and NO SUGAR ALCOHOLS, in the following delightful varieties: Chocolate Brownie: There’s nothing like a moist, fresh-baked brownie, and now you can enjoy them without concern about sugar. Each brownie contains 5 grams of protein, a whopping 8 grams of fiber and just 3 net carbs. Lemon Burst: If you like lemon, you’ll love these tart, sweet lemon cookies. Their cool, fresh taste provides the perfect finish to a great meal. Each cookie contains 5 grams of protein, 8 grams of fiber and just 3 net carbs. Snickerdoodle: Snickerdoodle cookies combine the flavors of cream, vanilla and cinnamon, and ours are no exception. Every bit as wonderful as you expect, with only 2 net carbs per cookie!

Yes | Price you paid?: $4.50 | Rating: 9    Pros: Since they are made from Almond flour they have a better flavor than some of the other mixes I have tried. Cons: very runny as they bake, better as a bar cookie I made the Snickerdoodle cookies, the box said 18 cookies, I got 36 big flat cookies. The second time I made them I did it in a bar pan, much much better. They aren't my mom's snickerdoodles, but I will be buying more of those. I'll just throw a little cinnamon/splenda on top before I bake it. blue_monday_88 Blabbermouth!!!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 4    Pros: Cons: I tried the lemon burst and they were OK...like MissDMV, I got totally FLAT cookies...you spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet and what you see on the box is NOT what you get in real life! They were good for about the first two cookies, but then we ended up throwing them out... bab_indy MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 7    Pros: easy Cons: dry Brownies: The Atkins mix tastes better but MiniCarb doesn't have sugar alcohols - a BIG plus for me. The brownies are much better with a frosting. I also use them as a base for other recipes. They are very good as a "crust" for low carb cheescakes.

Yes | Price you paid?: $4.18 | Rating: 8    Pros: Got more out of the package than the yield Cons: I made the Lemon Burst cookies this weekend. I ended up with 36 cookies. I didn't use a much water as it called for so the batter was less runny. (It says right on the box the batter will be thin, hence the flat cookies.) I thought they were very good. Helsbels Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: kansas Posts: 1 Review Date: Tue January 20, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.48 | Rating: 9    Pros: good base for addtional flavor Cons: batter was too thin I added more almond flour to thicken the batter and a little cinnamon and vanilla. The result was excellent. I got 18 cake like cookies. I may have effected the carb count slightly with the added almond flour, but it was worth it. The snickerdoodles were a hit at work with my friends who are low carbn'it with me. gsforever Junior LCF Member Registered: August 2003 Location: North East Posts: 11 Review Date: Tue January 27, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 2    Pros: looked okay Cons: were the brownies supposed to taste lke chocolate? I tried the brownies. I know it's been awhile since I've had chocolate, but I thought these were awful. I haven't tried them with anything on them, so maybe that would help. Evo gal Junior LCF Member Registered: October 2002 Location: PGH, PA Posts: 39 Review Date: Fri January 30, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 3    Pros: Cons: These were absolutely disgusting cookies. They tasted like sawdust that was soaked in chemicals...HOWEVER I ended up smashing them up adding some melted butter and used them as a crust for a raspberry cheesecake and it turned out great. So as a crust I guess I would recommend them, as a cookie NO WAY. RedChicky Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 29 Review Date: Sat February 28, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Pros: so bad they were funny Cons: taste disgusting These brownies were absolutely disgusting. I took one bite and spit them out. My husband and his brother both tried them and thought they were terrible. These are guys that will eat anything. trealarmas Junior LCF Member Registered: July 2004 Location: Lost in texas Posts: 16 Review Date: Sun August 1, 2004 Would you recommend the product?

Deannie Senior LCF Member Registered: December 2003 Location: New Hampshire Posts: 605 Review Date: Tue March 15, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: quick and easy Cons: I made the Lemon Burst cookies this morning but subs coconut oil for the butter and sweetened (3pkts. stevia plus and 4 drops liquid saccharin) lemon juice for the water, baked as bars instead. They came out wonderful. Have a hard time not eating them all at once! cubalz Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Harrisburg PA Posts: 3 Review Date: Mon March 21, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Convenience & Taste Cons: Cost (but I have found it in Walmart & local stores for $.50!) when I made these, my batter was WAY TOO thin to make cookies. I thought this was because I use Jumbo eggs but from the previous reviews, I guess everyone's were thinner than expected. My solution was to bake them in a SILICONE muffin pan - baked for 13min each. They taste much like a lemon cheesecake with a heavy consistency (for Lemon Burst). CAUTION: because my SILICONE pan only has 12 cups, I put 6 into a regular NON-STICK pan - big mistake. Couldn't get them out at all. Hubby and I both love these!! mom2zeke MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Price you paid?: $3.99 | Rating: 10    Pros: No sugar alcohols Cons: Instructions are wrong I tried the snickerdoodles several times before having the good sense to leave out the added water (or just add a couple of drops). The cookies were fantastic and they don't have sugar alcohols which I avoid. Just don't follow the directions on the package or else you'll have flat cookies! cnj628 MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: July 2002 Posts: 1949 Review Date: Fri June 10, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: no sugar alcohols, easy to make Cons: expensive i like the brownies a lot, and i add walnuts to the batter. my husband liked them and he doesn't like most of the low carb food that i eat. the cookies did not work out that well. they came out paper thin and i had such a hard time scraping them off the cookie sheet that i had to throw them out. i'll try them again
