I sort of expected to like this bar, since I like almonds and cherries (smoked almonds and dried cherries make a great hiking snack). Also, I'm totally down with the clif bar being superior in texture and overall flavor to the other bars. This bar is no exception; the cherry flavor isn't overpowering, the almonds are whole, crunchy, and delicious, and the overall texture of the bar is, well, that good moist clif texture. I still think these are the ugliest things I've ever seen though, even moreso when there are little swirls of soy white chocolate involved. Wow. Now I think you should always dance with the date that brung you, but this bar is clearly working that 'inner beauty' for all its worth.
