I looooove sweets and now there are FIBRE ONE 90 Calorie brownies!!!! But im scared to try them seeing as usually the brownies that are low in calories taste wierd and have an odd texture.

But let me know, and also feel free to give me a sweet n low calorie recipe of your own?!
I love low calorie sweets!!!!

    I actually don't mind them. I like the plain chocolate ones better than the peanut butter ones-- the PB ones taste a bit chalky to me. They're obviously not as satisfying as real brownies, but for me, they're a decent substitute. :)

    I have had the chocolate and the chocolate peanut butter. I like them, of course they're not as moist as a fat filled brownie but for a chocolate fix they're good. Try a box and if you don't like 'em then share the wealth..lol Enjoy.

    Love them, but stupid me didn't realize how much fiber is actually in them. Just be careful not to have more than one at a time...if ya know what I mean.

    I had the peanut butter chocolate ones. To me, they don't taste as good as I thought they would. They're soft and the texture is nice, but it tastes more like bittersweet cocoa than chocolate and that gives it a bitter flavor. I eat them because they satisfy your chocolate 'needs' and are only 90 calories, but there could be some improvements made for sure.

    omg I thought they were TERRIBLE!!!!!! I hated them and fiber one gives me horrible gas BUT I have noticed that it is lessening the more I eat them. I just like the peanut butter fiber one bars... I will never buy the brownies again :( Sorry to be so negative I was just really disappointed

    I'm afraid to try them because I really don't like brownies that aren't fresh, ya know?
    Like I can't stand those Little Debbie brownies. I think they're gross.

    They don't quite have the 'normal brownie taste' but taste okay. They are about 2 to 2.5 square inches big, so not too big but I think that's the size of a normal brownie anyways.

    Doesn't hurt to have one of these coupons when buying them though.

    I love them just enough sweetness to satisfy my sweet tooth and they are good-(their no duncan hines brownie of course that you would make but I think they are just as good as those little debbie snack cake brownies) and since these are low cal plus fiber and I didnt have to make its a win win situation

    I have the easiest low cal recipe for brownies ever. 1 box of any brownie mix you choose + half a can of diet Coke. Perfection. Cook as directed on the box.

    They are wonderfully delicious!! But I can't have more than 1 in a day because then I start tooting like a wild woman!! :blushing: I've only had the chocolate ones...haven't tried the peanut butter ones.

    I "like" them but they have kind of a chalky diety taste to them. While I said I liked them I will be sticking with the regular Fiber one bars for my fiber and chocolate fix. I have one browny left so I may try the microwave thing and see if it perks up the taste any.

    Where are these usually located in the grocery store? I haven't seen them yet, not that I've been searching hard, but had it in my mind that I would pick them up if I saw them.

    I find them at Wal-mart in the granola isle.

    They aren't as bad as the Little Debbie... those are nasty. I have a box of the Fiber One in my cabnet that's been there for a week... if they were REALLY good, they'd be gone :) But they aren't horrible.

    I've tried the peanut butter ones and they are ok.. but they do have a bit of a weird taste I think. Of course nothing is like a real brownie, but for 90 calories it gets the job done.

    I love the chocolate, it's the perfect sweet fix that I need and it's more filling as a snack since it's got more fiber. The peanut butter are OK, but I much prefer the chocolate. I've bought a second box because I ate my first box in a week... haha

    If you'd rather have low-cal brownies with no artificial ingredients, try these. They're super easy to make and taste great! Plus, no refined sugar in these - only applesauce and honey. The recipe came from Jillian Michael's Losing It TV show. I was doubtful, but everybody I've given these to loves them.

    Bought a large box at Costco quite a few weeks ago and they are slowy (very slowly) being consumed. I think calling them a "brownie" is a bit of a stretch. My 24 year old daughter tried one the other day, spit it out and proclaimed it tasted like cardboard. although once I thought about it, the texture is more like styrofoam. I keep one at work so that if I'm desperate for "something" sweet, I can resort to it, but honestly, when I consider that or nothing, I almost always choose nothing.

    From the other posts, it seems a lot of people either really like them or think they're terrible, so perhaps buying a regular size box and giving them a try is the best way to go.

    And for what it's worth, I didn't experience any fiber-related issues, but my diet is pretty high in fiber so maybe it wasn't so much of a shock to my system.

    Good in the microwave.......but otherwise are really dry and don't really cut it for a brownie......small too.

    I think they're pretty awesome. They do have a bittersweet chocolate thing going on but since I LOVE dark, bittersweet chocolate they work for me in a big way.

    Tried Jillian Michaels' brownie recipe today and love it. You do taste that they're made with whole wheat flour and they are less sweet than most brownies, but I love the consistency and they definitely don't have an 'icky healthy' taste. Will definitely make them again.
