Ah, finally the last of the kind bars. Will this one be a Dr. Jekyll or a Mr. Hyde?

This is another "peanut bar" type, though there's so much "glue" that there's a small layer of it on the bottom. Luckily, this is the soft glue, so the overall bar is more chewy than crunchy. This puts it firmly in "Jekyll" territory. The taste of the bar is overwhelmed by the cranberries - the puffed rice seemed like a good idea but it's not really helping the case at all. Pretty much all I taste is cranberries and honey. This isn't bad; and I must stress there's no chemical taste to speak of, but again I'm not sure why having these in a bar is so much better than just having a handful of dried fruits and nuts lying around. I note these are made in Australia, perhaps they don't have dried fruits and nuts in bulk over there.

In any event the existing rules stand: kind bars with fruit are ok, kind bars without fruit are not ok. Recess!
