| I have purchased this product on and off since it became available. The last time I bought them (before my Netrition purchase) it was from a local low carb store. I am glad I gave them another try. The last batch was really hard to eat, but these ones from Netrition are really fresh and chewy. I've tried the chocolate ones, but the regular plain coconut ones are far superior in taste. They are not too sweet and the box is small enough if you end up eating all of them, you won't do too much damage. If you are following Atkins, it is important to note that unsweetened coconut (after subtracting the fibre grams) is 2.1 grams. So the entire box (5oz) is actually 10.5 grams of usable carbohydrate and not ZERO as the "Nutrition Facts" state on the box. It works out to about 1g of carbohydrate per macaroon as they are about 0.5 ounces each. I've been on Atkins for almost 8 years so trust me when I say that it is important NOT to trust labels but to work the carb count out on your own. |

| Coconut lovers unite!!! These macaroons sure do hit the spot when you have sugar cravings. 1 or 2 of these and it's complete satisfaction. I got these in the mail today and I couldn't wait to rip through the box just to try one. I closed my eyes and savored each bite, ohhh so good!!! Guilt free eating never tasted so great. Zero net carbs, 70 calories in 2, and satisfying. I will definitely be back to make another purchase of this. |

| Taste great, and no aftertaste. Texture is very moist and coconuty. I find I only need to eat one or two to be satisfied! |

| The macaroons really hit the spot when you need a little something sweet. They are moist and full of flavor. The best part is you don't feel guilty eating them. |

Reviewer: Pamela in Florida |
| These are absolutely delicious. They are chewy with lots of coconut and aren't dry at all. I only wish they weren't so expensive but then I'd probably eat a lot more because they are so good. |

| Short and sweet. That's the description and the review.
THE BEST low carb taste out there. Of course you have to like coconut which I love. |

| Just got my first box of these cookies and had to tear right into them. I was pleasantly surprised- they are yummy! I will definitely be ordering them again- although not as many as I would like, as they are kind of expensive for the amount you get. |

Reviewer: Debby in Texas |
| These are life savers! The coconut macaroon flavor is just the right bite and not too sweet when I want something decadent with my coffee or as a late night taste - you know - when you are on the hunt for that "something." They have that fresh coconut taste, not that grainy sugary taste of sweetened coconut. They are small but soft and chewy - very satisfying with 2 per serving. I hope they freeze well. I just bought a repeat order, 6 boxes this time! |

Reviewer: Kimberly in Virginia |
| I cannot say enough good things about these macaroons. They were soft and chewy, full of coconut flavor, and completely satisfied my craving for something sweet. I would have never guessed they were a specialty (low carbohydrate) food. I look forward to ordering them again. |

| DELICIOUS! Mine do tend to lose moisture as they reach max. fresh sale date; that's true of any (ANY) macaroon. If so, EASY SOLUTION: sprinkle with 2-3 drops of water & microwave for ~5seconds. (Don't add too much else I think they'd fall apart. Would still taste fine, but would lose the fun of the chewy ball!) ---For special holiday touches (Christmas, Valentines, St.Patrick's Day, Easter, etc.) add 1 microdrop (whatever; very little) of food coloring to a weee bit of water, and then experiment with adding a drop or 2 of this colored water to the macaroon. Makes s-f goodies even more desirable than ever! |

Reviewer: Robert in Georgia |
| The only problem with these is finding the self-discipline to eat only a few at a time. Don't ever put a whole pile of them in front of you - there will be no pile a few minutes later. I can't believe how Jennies got such a rich sugary coconutty flavor. When I first tried them, I grabbed the box to make sure I hadn't ordered the wrong thing,... surely this could NOT be a low-carb item!!! |
