Yeah, I know. I said I'd stay away from the nutty clif bars but I picked up a big handful of bars at Target and just grabbed one of these because it was new to me and I wanted to review it for you; I do it all for you. This tasted almost exactly like I should have expected it to with the exception of a less noticeable 'nutrition bar' flavor than I would have guessed. Still, all the nuttiness makes it really feel like you're eating health food. I have to admit this bar had a slightly heavier, drier and firmer texture than the other clif bars. It wasn't a bad texture, just slightly different - amazingly it seemed even more substantial than other bars, which is a feat. I'd buy this again - better for an afternoon snack than I imagine it would be for breakfast but its good; better than I would have expected and quite satisfying.
