Ingredients: organic brown rice syrup, organic dry roasted peanuts, organic raisins, dry roasted almonds, soy rice crisps, organic chocolate chips, organic pretzels, organic peanut butter, organic dry roasted soybeans, dry roasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, organic oat syrup, vegetable glycerin, organic sunflower oil, sea salt, organic gum arabic, natural vitamin e.

This is pretty good - a bit dry. It is basically a peanut-bar style thing, though not quite as tooth-wrenching as the classic peanut bar. Its basically trail mix (peanuts, pretzels and chocolate chips are the dominant flavors) stuck together with some sugar and gelatin (though there must be more to it than that given the ingredients list). Sort of salty, sort of sweet, sort of sticky. I'm not sure it has much going for it over some regular non-stuck-together trail mix but its tasty and has a good texture, and makes a nice snack.
