This is similar to yesterday's bar but sadly it is not quite as good. It is pretty good, and is the same basic formula (granola sits on yogurt icing) but this one has slightly more icing which I actually don't like as well. In this case, the store brand from yesterday beats out the name brand.

Man, I'm already sorry I'm reviewing this bar. It is delicious, but now that I've had to write down what is in it I'm feeling a little bad about it. It's all sugar and glycerin and gelatin and hydrogenated craziness. Maybe that's why it tastes so damn good! This is a rather nutty granola bar that has rather fortuitously sat down on a bench or something that was covered in a yogurt/icing paint. So now the bottom of the bar is all icing. Not too much, either, and it is darned tasty. The nutty granola part is good too - nice nutty crunchiness with a sort of chewy granola. This is a great bar, I just wish it wasn't all scary ingredients - I didn't even write down the parenthetical ingredients for crisp rice and toasted oats, both of which have some additional sugar and such as you are probably already aware. I just can't believe this thing doesn't taste like a bunch of chemicals, but it really doesn't. It's great.
