It should be worth mentioning that this bar is over half fat. Nuts are also typically over half fat so I suppose at some level we can rationalize this, but when you look at this bar and see the gooey sugar coated top and the chocolate coated bottom it is hard to say "well, this is just like nuts!" - you're much more likely to say "well, this is nuts!" 

This is in many ways similar to the luna bar previously reviewed, but a lot cheaper and not nearly as good for you. Tastes like a candy bar, no chemical aftertaste. Good bar. 

Update: I had another one of these today and it smelled terrible! I don't know if it is a fluke or if I just didn't notice the other day but it is distracting. It doesn't smell like it has turned, it just has a strange fake smell that is really killing the experience.
