A few people have mentioned that they don't like the Keto Chips...
Ultimate Nachos!
My husband and I fixed them by spreading a bag out on a pan, adding to the top a lb. of cooked taco meat and sharp cheddar thick on top.
Bake it in the oven for a few to melt the cheese and I served it with lettuce & sour cream --
It's not bare bones low carb but it's not too bad. The entire bag of Keto Tortilla chips is about 15g for 5oz. and the 3 of us here finished maybe half of the pan.
It was very tasty.
Enough cheese can hide anything

Shakes & Bars
I **cannot stand** Atkins Bars and most protein bars and shakes that I have tasted to date. They sent me a free box and I swear they tasted like Lemon Pledge smells. I spit it out.
I have tasted every Atkins shake both pre-made & powder. My husband says they are drinkable. I just can't force myself. **gag**
I have not tasted the Keto shakes or bars. We did buy some though.

Dessert Stuff
I don't get into the debate about hidden carbs. I treat myself occasionally with these desserts.
Pure De-lite http://www.puredeliteproducts.com/
The De-lite candy bars rock --- All of 'em. Creamy! I use the white chocolate ones in Cheesecake. They also have little "treasures" and bon-bon things that are great. Dark, Milk, Milk Almond, Milk Coconut, Milk Mint, Milk Orange, Milk Peanut, White
De-lite makes a "gummy-bear" animal shaped candy... If you happen to eat these, Have Gas-X or a comparable product handy, cause they will make you STINKYYYY!
The Pure De-lite High-Protein, Sugar-Free Cookies taste like ---protein bars-- I won't buy it again. Bleh!
Daskalides
If you can find Candy Bars by
Daskalides you will know true happiness. Belgian sugar-free nummy goodness. My most favorite is the Milk/Coffee ganache filled. They have many flavors (Maltitol sweetened)

I usually nibble just one or two small pieces off the bar. It's so rich it satisfies the craving.
Atkins
The Atkins chocolates are fair. I loved them until I found others.
My husband is a Reeses cup nut and I ordered him a Atkins peanut butter cup to try. He thought they were not bad. The peanut butter was not as thick. Creamy (Ya know how Reeses are a tad gritty?)
Atkins also has a brownie mix that I thought had a wonderful texture. Next time I make them I will try adding some nuts or maybe chunk up a sugar-free candy bar into the mix for some variety.
Atkins Cheesecake in Key Lime was very tasty. Expensive though.
Keto
Keto Vanilla Ice-Cream is ok. It tastes kinda Egg-y to me (like a custardy flavor) and not like the vanilla I was expecting. I'd much rather make a regular recipie ice-cream and sub out the sugar for splenda.
I tried a chocolate biscotti thing from them too and it had an okay taste although I thought it was kinda like a stale brownie.
Other
Sugar Free popsicles! 3 carbs per bar. Nice summer treat. I can't remember the brand. I got them at a regular grocery store.
Whipped Cream is a spray bottle is not as bad on carbs as I thought. I put it on top of Sugar free Jello.
We tried the Meringues from Atkins and I thought they were so-so, my husband really liked them.
-----------------------------------------------------
Pancakes, Muffins and Breakfast
Atkins muffins/bread mixes are awesome. I have tried them all. I like the Banana Nut best. Makes a nice Banana Nut Bread too. I have their corn muffin mix to try.
Atkins Pancakes/Waffle Mix - These are beautiful as can be when you cook them. They taste really egg-y too if you follow the instructions. I don't quite know if I like them yet or not.
Atkins Syrup is just nasty brown water with an after taste.
Log Cabin Sugar Free Syrup is buttery and tasty. It lists as 12g carbs.. but those are all Sugar Alchols and as I said before, I don't do the hidden carb debate. I don't eat this daily so dang it, I want taste!
Flax-o-meal Pancakes in Apple Spice. I thought the texture was so-so, taste was good, but I was biased by the awful Atkins Syrup on top. I need to try this again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other stuff
Cheeters Crackers - just... odd I guess. They are making bread and mini pizzas as well, although I have not tried them.
Heavenly Dessets is a no-sugar added cracker I bought from atkins and its very good. I laughed though when I noticed that they are actually a little higher in carbs than Club crackers from Keebler.
Just the Cheese were nasty salty yuckiness - Threw it AWAY.
Low Carb Pasta:
Keto Pasta - Nasty
Due Amici Pasta - nastiness and ugly to boot!
Sugar Busters makes a decent pasta, but it's still higher than most of the "low carb" pastas. If you must have pasta it is the best choice as far as taste.
I know there are alot more items I have tried.. I just can't think of them all right now.
