Are any of the Alpen Light bars ok?
I'm confused - hubby has just bought me the 45g bar of the Galaxy cookie crumble as I thought it was low syn but I've just looked on the SW website:
Galaxy Galaxy, Cookie Crumble 45g bar
12½ Syns on Extra Easy
Original 12½ Syns
Green 12½ Syns
Are they smaller individual pieces in the big bar - could that be why the big difference in syns??
