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.

These are expensive too, for boxed bars. $3.49 and only 1.12 oz. each. After yesterday's heavier, high-fiber bar i wouldn't expect these to be very filling, though the ingredients list looks fairly good - peanuts and fruit are right there at the top. This is a good bar, too - no real chemical taste, standard granola texture (not really at all dense, so less substantial than yesterday's bar), and chock full of nuts and berries - like eating trail mix pressed together into a bar. really quite good.

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.
