The Thing With The identity Crisis

Advantages: Probably better for you than a normal choccy bar
Disadvantages: Way too small

...or a 4 pack of Mars Ice Cream bars. The main two colours on the box are a dark chocolatey brown and a golden caramel colour. Which twirls in on itself onto the front of the box under the word “ Tracker “ which is written in white font with a gold and brown outline surrounding each letter. Inside the box there are the eight tracker thingies which all have their own wrappers made of foil with a plastic coating on the outside, the design of which mirrors ...
...They are made my the Mars manufacturers Masterfoods surprisingly as neither the box nor the individual wrappers have every language imaginable printed upon them like they are so fond of doing with all their other products although the box does say that they are known by the name “ Balisto “ in other countries. On the whole however not bad although somewhat smaller than I would have liked and not as solid nor chewy as a regular flapjack or muesli ...

Review of Mars Tracker Bars, Chocolate Chip

A Good Reason to Track to the Shops

Advantages: Taste lovely
Disadvantages: flying nuts

I was in the supermarket the other day looking for cereal bars to take to work for breaktimes. As with most products these days, I was totally spoiled for choice. Eventually I decided on Chocolate Chip Trackers, simply because I haven’t had them for ages. I bought a box of 8 bars for £1.45. That works out at just over 18 pence per bar. A common problem with anything sold in a multi-pack though, is that the product tends to be a bit smaller ...
...with Trackers. Masterfoods describe Trackers as, ‘ Choc-chip cereal bars with chewy oats, nuts cornflakes and crisped rice with chocolate chips. Most of which tend to fall off the top when you open the bar. I then spend most of my break chasing nuts and choc chips which a merrily bouncing across the table. Taste Choc-chip Trackers taste fantastic. You can pick out all the individual flavours of the component ingredients. And, of course, ...

Review of Mars Tracker Bars, Chocolate Chip

Life (minus) Tracker = Hungry Mornings!

Advantages: Crnch, chew, chom, squidge... mmmm!
Disadvantages: You may want to put a bib on! ;o)

What would life be like with out tracker bars?? Well my life for a start, would definitely consist of many hungry mornings! Being a student, who has 8.30am lectures three days every week and who lives about an hour and a half away from university, I very rarely get time to wake up in early in the mornings to make breakfast.. If I did, I would probably have to be up at 6 instead of 6.30 and you know what, nothing is more pleasurable and enjoyable ...
...want to be up! So yeah, there is just no way I have time for breakfast... so what do I do?? How can I miss the most important meal of the day? I know what happens when I don't have breakfast, by about 10.30am my stomach turns in to a very amateur orchestra!! I swear, if you're sitting next to me, you will not tell it to "encore"! it also means that I am know longer able to think or carry out any logical processing… mind you, I'm sure you wouldn't ...

Review of Mars Tracker Bars, Chocolate Chip

A Mid Morning Energy Boost!

Advantages: Quite Tasty, Full Of Energy
Disadvantages: Lots Of Fat, Quite Messy To Eat

...UK under license from the Mars group of companies. Anyway let's get straight into the review...... APPEARANCE & TASTE On removing the Bar from its wrapper the first thing that I note is that there is a fairly strong smell of Oats. This is hardly surprising since the Bar itself comprises of lots of bits of Oats stuck together with a Syrup like glue. On the top of the Bar there are a few flakes of Chocolate Chip but these are rather sparse and ...
...and Crispy Rice. Biting into the Bar there is a definite crunch and the initial taste is of the somewhat bitter taste of the Oats but this is quickly mixed with the much sweeter taste of the Syrup. The Syrup has a lovely Treacle like taste to it and helps to give the overall taste of the Bar a bit of a kick. After a couple more bites of the Bar there are other flavours that begin to creep in too. The first of these are those of the Rice and Cornflakes, ...

Review of Mars Tracker Bars, Chocolate Chip

Chocolate fix for breakfast

Advantages: yummy
Disadvantages: see op

A snack for 137 cals. And you get chocolate included. You can't really moan at that. Technical stuff: Each bar is 27g. You get six in a box for approx 99p. That works out at 16.5 pence each. There are 7.5% of chocolate chips in each bar. Taste: Chewy, yet crispy,a strange, but nice combination. The chocolate chips are the best bits if you ask me, but if that doesn't appeal there are other varieties you can try. Size: 27g. Doesn't give you ...
...then you will probably have two, but they are yummy. Downside: Unfortunately it isn't a good idea to put these in your kids lunchboxes as they contain peanuts. I don't know about your kids' school, but at my daughters' they aren't allowed to take peanut products in because we unfortunately have two children and a teacher with severe allergies. Upside: More for Mum. I love them. Sometimes when I'm in a hurry I use them as a subsitute for breakfast. ...

Review of Mars Tracker Bars, Chocolate Chip

Sometimes you just gotta go nuts!

Advantages: Healthier than a chocolate bar, a nice snack
Disadvantages: Well if you have nut allergies you can't eat it, far too small

...and crisped rice. Manufacturers- Mars manufactuters Masterfoods They come in four flavours (which I know of any way); Strawberry Banana Chocolate chip Roast Nut, which is basically no flavour All of these flavours, except for Roast Nut appear in seperate opinions so this one is just about Chocolate chip. I seem to eat these most days at college, during mornings. I also ate them at school, well when the machine had any. I find they seem to ...
...pretty measly, I mean the Mars Bar weighs 54g and it's cheaper in some cases too. Is it any wonder that people don't eat healthily, when the healthy option leaves you undernourished and out of pocket. Calories and energy- I know there are a lot of people who are concerned with how many calories they are putting into themselves, so for their benefit, one of these bars, 37g, contains 755 kJ of energy and 180 kcal. Multipack- They also come in multipack ...

Deceiving bars of Chocolate & Nut

Advantages: Nice & Tasty, Compact for Lunch Box

Track it down!

Advantages: Yummy taste!
Disadvantages: Only 2 inches long!!

As a student, cereal bars are a quick, easy and healthy alternative to a proper breakfast and I tend to spend a long time in the supermarket looking at something new to try. This time I chose Tracker Chocolate Chip. As a bar they aren't bad, they have a good consistency and contain healthy filling things like oats, crisped rice, chocolate chips and nuts, which are all stuck together with syrup. They come in two layers. The bottom layer is the nutritious, ...
...all stuck together. The top layer, to me, is the important part! This consists of chocolate drops (in abundance!), peanuts and some more crisped rice, all wedged into the sticky goodness below! They do taste nice but there are some important down falls. 1 - the size. They are only about 2 inches long and so it doesn't really fill you up very well and you definitely need two to know you have had anything at all. 2 - the nut content does not make ...

Review of Mars Tracker Bars, Chocolate Chip

Tracker Attacker

Advantages: tasty, not too fattening and fit in lunch box nicely.
Disadvantages: none unless your allergic too nuts

Yes I love Trackers and take one with me to work everyday. Although my opinion is not as technical and probably as good as others, but I recommend them for the fact that they are lower in calories and they contain nuts which = proteins (2.3 g). Although the nut thing is bad if anyone has an allergy. Full Ingredients – Oat flakes (20%), puffed rice (8.6%), glucose syrup, peanuts (15%), Hydrated vegetable fat, chocolate chips (7.5%), sweetened ...
...(Soya lecithin). *Emulsifiers: Allows easier mixing of oils and water *Glycerol: Acts as a solvent and its viscosity lends body to the product. With icings and candies, glycerine prevents crystallization of sugar. They also contain chocolate chips. This in it self makes up for the fact I’ve cut out nearly all chocolate from my diet and this little bit just helps me through. You will find the taste slightly sweet as the ingredients are held ...

Review of Mars Tracker Bars, Chocolate Chip

Chocie Tracker not bad at all

Advantages: Tasty, nutty and healthier than a chocolate bar
Disadvantages: Not good if you have nut allergies also they are too small

I always eat cereal bar for breakie as i hate cereal itself. These were one of the first Cereal bar i really were addicted too. My mum brought them in bulk as i used to eat sooo many. There are a range of flavours from chocolate chip to banana. I prefered the Chocolate ones as they were sweeter The bars are really nutty and crispy and have a really thick texture which can be good. I found that they are a lot smaller than the actual wrapper ...
