Slightly more expensive than other boxed bars as they only come 5 to a box for the same price. The ingredients and nutrition lists reflect that they have slightly better ingredients than a lot of boxed bars. This bar is a pretty standard granola mix but its really dense and chewy, a bit tough to get through but substantial. The taste is caramel-y, and really since most of the caramels I eat are store-bought (and therefore have a slightly artificial taste) the caramel distracts me from any chemical taste the bar may have. Clever. Its a good bar, especially if you like the taste of caramel.
