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

You can do this yourself in just a few minutes by putting a little oil (or Pam) on aluminum foil, sprinkle on some shredded hard cheese from the bag (Parmesan is the easiest), and baking it in an oven for a few 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, baked for 5-10 minutes. A toaster oven or convection oven is best - it makes fewer servings, but will crisp faster (3-4 minutes on 400). 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.

If you want to replicate the "Just the Cheese" flavor, take the package of powdered cheese from a box of mac & cheese, and sprinkle it in. Therein lies the problem for me - wayyyy too much sodium. 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.
