This is a pretty standard bar but with a slightly softer texture than expected, which might make you question the expiration date. it has a drizzle of chocolate icing on top and chocolate chips inside, neither of which has much chemical taste, which is remarkable. overall a decent bar, but the caramel one is probably better. I must admit the fiber one bars are developing a better reputation overall than a lot of the other boxed bars, and because they are high in fiber they'll typically be more filling than other bars as well. win-win.

I really like the cranberry one as well.

(Can I just add that the word verification for this form is "logbuts." Hilarious.)
