This bar has a weird, unnatural yellowish color like its been dusted with curry. It doesn't taste like curry so I was unnerved at the yellowish tint the whole time I ate the bar. It was a tasty bar, though somewhat dry. Really was sort of like a thin rice krispie treat with fruit and nuts mixed in. Had more flavor than a rice krispie treat, but the texture was really similar. Still, it was alright. Sort of a smorgasbord of fruits and nuts, a cashew here, a cherry there, etc. Less homogenous than a Clif bar which is a nice change up.
