 I think they taste great - neat idea for a spicy snack - but the product does have problems January 9, 2010
Mad Max (Seattle, WA USA)
I love the Just Cheese bars. It's basically just crisped cheese, some of which have powdered flavoring mixed in. This one is jalepeno, which is my favorite. In fact it's the only flavor my wife & I can agree on (I also really like the Pizza flavor, but my wife hates them). Just goes to show you how different individual tastes vary.
But I do have mixed feelings about Just the Cheese - it's a genius idea. A convenient, single-serving bar of crispy cheese, to throw in your bag or glove box for a low carb snack. But 3 problems:
(1) Too much sodium. I have to guzzle a glass of water after eating a bar. And these are only 1/2 ounce!
(2) Taste isn't always consistent. Sometimes you get a burned piece.
(2) The price (over $1 per bar) is really too high for 1/2 ounce of cheese. The Atkins & South Beach bars are much cheaper - usually 2.7-3.5 ounces (nearly 5-7 times more) for about the same price. I do not think this product should cost SIX TIMES what an Atkins bar costs.
These bars get a 3.5 stars for me. If the company would fix these problems, I'd give it a 5.
PS - If you like the idea of zero carb cheese snacks, you can easily make these yourself at home in just a few minutes:
Put a little oil (or Pam) on aluminum foil, sprinkle on some shredded hard cheese from the bag (Parmesan is the easiest and most widely available), and bake it in an oven for 5-10 minutes until it turns golden brown. A great serving size is 20-30 half-dollar sized parmesan bites/crisps, on a normal sized baking pan. A toaster oven or convection oven is best - it makes fewer servings, but will crisp faster (3-4 minutes on 400-450). And the great thing is, if you're a low carber who misses chips & dip, your homemade cheese crisps are easily dip-able in salsa, sour cream, etc.

I love the Just Cheese bars. It's basically just crisped cheese, some of which have powdered flavoring mixed in. This one is white cheddar pizza flavored, which I also liked.

If you want to replicate the "Just the Cheese" flavor, take the package of powdered cheese from a box of "white cheese" flavored mac & cheese, and sprinkle it in. Therein lies the problem for me - wayyyy too much sodium. Cheese already has a lot of sodium. But add flavoring, and it can get overwhelming fast. After just one Just the Cheese bar, I have to guzzle a glass of water.
So I have mixed feelings - I think this product is a genius idea. A convenient, single-serving bar of crispy cheese, to throw in your bag or glove box for a low carb snack. But I grade it down for 3 reasons:
(1) Too much sodium. However, some of the other "plain" flavors have a bit less sodium.
(2) Taste isn't always consistent. Sometimes you get a burned piece.
(2) The price (over $1 per bar) is really too high for 1/2 ounce of cheese. The Atkins & South Beach bars are much cheaper - usually 2.7-3.5 ounces (nearly 5-7 times more) for about the same price. I do not think this product should cost SIX TIMES what an Atkins bar costs.
3.5 stars for me. If the company would fix these problems, I'd give it a 5.

 Delicious snack July 10, 2009
Jason Antebi (Seattle, WA)
These are easily one of my favorite low-carb and low-calorie snacks when I'm doing the whole "no carb" deal. They are dry -- but I like them that way. They are filling and they taste good. They're not for everyone so before you buy one box of each flavor, try the bars (they're pretty dry) or the chips (less dry) and see how you like them.
I Thought they were yummy March 5, 2009

I saw two bad reviews, and just wanted to let people know that I liked them and have ordered a second box of them. Tasty alternative to chips.
