Considerations

• Due to the high sugar and fat content, the Crunch bar is not the best nutritional choice if you have heart problems or if you are diabetic. Consult your physician for a personalized eating plan. Consume foods heavy in fat and sugar only on occasion. Instead of eating the entire candy bar, save half for later or try eating a fun sized bar. The mini bars hold the same delicious flavor as the larger bars with only a portion of the calories.
