Totally solid peanutty granola sitting in a bed of chocolate which kept it from being as dry as some of the others. Well done.

I knew I'd like this, but I found it a bit dry. I really prefer the clif mojo bars that have some fruit or chocolate in them as they are a bit sweeter and don't leave my mouth stranded in the desert.

I expected to like this bar, and I did. It isn't as sweet as the other varieties of clif mojo but the texture is the same, a sort of flimsy chewy bar that can be a bit of a mess but is satisfying to eat. No raisins, peanut butter or chocolate chips to sweeten this one up, it is nutty as can be. I prefer the fruity ones but this is a nice break.

Pretty standard chewy granola bar, but tough as nails. I again wondered if I'd missed the expiration date, and again was disappointed to learn it is a ways off.  The bar tastes great, but the texture is just lousy.
