HIGH5 CARAMEL BAR

-

£29.75 (for 25) High5’s caramel bar’s been part of their range for over a decade and we can see the appeal, with that caramel inner, chewy texture and choc outer reminiscen­t of a snack bar. Its confection­ary attributes boil down to its main ingredient – glucose syrup – which adds taste, though our personal preference is for a slowreleas­er like potato flakes. Yet the addition of more complex oat flakes and rice flour slows down absorption slightly. Its total calorie count is high at 217cals per 55g bar – 38g carbs, 5.7g fat and (just) 2.9g protein – so make this last upwards of 90mins. highfive.co.uk
